This is Missouri rockabilly singer and song writer Ronnie Self singing "Bop-A-Lena" on Columbia 41101 from 1958. This # 63 chart record looks VG++ with minor surface markings but plays in NM condition and comes in a Columbia Records company sleeve. The picture sleeve is a custom sleeve that is made in Canada or England and is in MINT condition. These custom sleeves are one-off and are not mass produced. This item comes in a clear, resealable, poly-vinyl protective sleeve with a cardboard backer separating the record from the picture sleeve.   

U.S. postage and handling is $4.00 on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote. 

I grade in direct sunlight or under a high-intensity lamp to assure the most accurate grading possible. However, you have my unconditional guarantee that I will take the records back if you think that the records are not as stated. My reputation is what has kept me in business for 43 years. 

If you win multiple auctions, I will combine packaging to save you as much postage as possible. I ship with sturdy cardboard packaging to protect your records. Please review my feedback from previously satisfied customers. I have been buying and selling records for 43 years now and as of February 2022 I am celebrating 23 years on eBay.

Definitions:

Mint = 10 = Just like it came from the factory. May still be factory sealed. These will generally be priced close to collector value.

NM = 9 = Near Mint = Very minor surface markings that do not interfere with the audio playback. These will generally be priced at 80% to 90% of collector value.

VG++ = 7.5 = Very Good++ = The surface markings are more noticeable and may or may not affect the audio playback. Sometimes a record can look VG++ but still play in NM condition. These will generally be priced at 60% to 75% of collector value.

VG+ = 5 = Very Good+ = Now the surface markings are quite noticeable and they will generally be heard during audio playback. These will generally be priced at 40% to 50% of collector value.

Generally, I will not list records below VG+ unless it is a rare record of importance to collectors.
