Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm iconic stereo vinyl Rock 'n Roll album, Wand WDS 657, very-good vinyl (some faint parallel scratches probably caused by placing and removing this disc in & out of its cardboard jacket) in a very good cardboard jacket. Recorded for $50 in a three-microphone studio in Portland, Oregon, the Kingsmen's version of Richard Berry's "Louie, Louie" was banned by Indiana governor Matthew E. Welsh, and may be the only rock 'n roll song to ever merit its own FBI file. In addition to "Louie Louie," the Portland, Oregon, garage band here also offers Lieber (sic) & Stoller's "Fever"; Berry Gordy & Janie Bradford's "Money"; Dessie Rozier's "Mashed Potatoes"; P. Medley & B. Russell's "Twist & Shout," etc.…

No Binding. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Not a book but a group of seven, 7-inch, 45 rpm rock 'n roll / rhythm & blues records from the year 1963, combined to consolidate shipping. All of these discs should play well, they generally grade "very good" to "very-good-plus" (though the flip side of "Louie Louie" -- that being the eminently forgettable "Haunted Castle" -- shows visible scratches), but none of them are shiny new. Some of the labels -- the Gordy, particularly -- show considerable rub from having been stored without individual paper sleeves. Nonetheless, for a very reasonable price you get the ORIGINAL RELEASES of The Angels' "My Boyfriend's Back" (production credited to those venerable Australian sheep herders, Feldman-Goldstein-Gottehrer); The Kingsmen's timeless rendition of Richard Berry's "Louie Louie" (possibly the only rock 'n roll song with its own FBI file); Bob and Earl's "Harlem Shuffle" (later covered by the Rolling Stones on their "Dirty Work" album, 1986); a double hit from Mary Wells -- Holland-Dozier-Holland's "You Lost the Sweetest Boy" backed by "What's Easy for Two Is So Hard for One," credited to one William Robinson, whoever that may be; Martha & The Vandellas offering two more Holland-Dozier-Holland compositions, those being "Quicksand" backed by "Darling, I Hum Our Song"; Jan Bradley offering some Northern Soul on the Chess label with "Mama Didn't Lie / Lovers Like Me," and finally Jimmy McGriff on the Sue label with "One of Mine / Broadway," both tracks from his Sue LP 1013, said LP also titled "One of Mine." Group of seven ORIGINAL 45 rpm "singles" from the year 1963, priced together as one lot to consolidate shipping charge. This group of seven, 45 rpm singles now reduced from $32.…
