Description
Yes, I also wish it was the release on K. This one is Ram 1738, "Honey Do You Think of Me" b/w "I'll Be Lonesome When You're Gone". Near Mint (looks unplayed). This is a label from Shreveport, Louisiana: Royal Audio Music, Inc.--not one of Buck Ram's New York City enterprises. About ten years ago, Richard Blackburn booked it at $75-100 and Peter Salamone at $50-75. A-side has a hard-driving lead guitar and a pretty tough yelping vocal. B-side has a quite antique country ballad sound that may remind some of you youngsters of Webb Pierce, that other Louisiana crooner, or maybe Vernon Dalhart.
Please check my other auctions, which currently are almost all 45s from the '50s, rockabilly, blues, and R&B.

Overseas, air-mail is a flat $7, without insurance, which is available only if I first Register it and send it Air Parcel Post, at which point the total comes to $20. So far, I've never had a shipment lost or damaged, but of course I can't be responsible for anything that is not insured.
