Description

Warren Smith "Rock 'n Roll Ruby" on Sun 239, 78 RPM, Very Good Condition.

For auction I have a classic rock 'n roll tune from 1956. This is a 78 RPM copy of Warren Smith's hit, 'Rock 'n Roll Ruby' with 'I'd Rather Be Safe Than Sorry' on the B-side. Record is in very good condition, with still some shine and minor surface scuffs. Plays loud and doesn't skip with only a very light background hiss. Most of this is drowned out from the loud passages in the song. Labels are in great condition with no writing on them. The 'Ruby' side has some very light wear around the edges of the label while the B-side doesn't seem to have this wear. Please see pictures. Comes in a generic sleeve inside a clear poly sleeve. A beauty to own!

I play tested this record on a restored 1962 Magnavox record player with a proper 78 rpm needle tracking at 3.2 grams.

Warren recorded this song in early February 1956. It eventually became a #1 single on May 26th, 1956 on local pop charts. This was Warren's first release on Sun and it outsold the first Sun singles on three other popular Sun artists, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins! Perhaps it was the catchy, fun lyrics? This one is a good one to sing along to!

This record will be very carefully packaged for safe transport, sandwiched between cardboard, wrapped in bubble wrap with packing peanuts.

I will ship in the continental United States only. You choose from either Priority Mail or Media Mail. Shipping costs are whatever you're quoted minus $3.00. I would recommend Priority mail as it gets to you quicker with less handling.

Please view all pictures and look at them closely. This is the exact item you will get.

Please e-mail any questions, I respond to questions in the evening hours. I don't believe I missed anything. I will ship within 2 days after receiving payment.
