Sun 78 Billy "The Kid" Emerson/No Teasin Around/VG+/Alan Freed Lot

$

135

Sun 195 by Billy "The Kid" Emerson: No Teasing Around b/w If Loving Is Believing.  Labels as shown in photos. Shellac is glossy with several fingerprints and some haze, all of which clean up. There are a few light and shallow marks. There are three long circular hairline marks which are very shallow. The shellac is grainy, typical of Sun pressings from 1954. Grade VG+.

  This 78 came from a lot of about 150  that recently turned up here in Cleveland, including many shellac promo copies,  and vinyl flexi disc promos. Also there were two old record mailer boxes, as shown in the pictures, addressed to Alan Freed, WJW Radio, Cleveland.  Apparently, these 78s belonged to Alan Freed and WJW, and he played some of them on the air, judging by the finger prints still visible on a few of them. The finger prints haven't been cleaned off, because some collectors may want to have a record that apparently was played by Alan Freed, for it's historical value.

The Peacock Records mailer box is postmarked July 17th, 1954. No date is visible on the Alma Records mailer postmark.  Freed left WJW for New York City, in either August or September of 1954, depending on the internet source. Many of these 78s that will be listed as from the Alan Freed Lot appear to have never been played.

You are bidding on this 78 record only, record mailers not included.
The RECORD MAILER BOXES are NOT FOR SALE,  and are only pictured in  this listing to illustrate the source of the records.
