This is part of a large auction of blues, doo-wop & R&B 45's on Chicago-based labels from the 1950's/early 60's. Several Chess, Checker, Vee-Jay and more. Many promos mixed in. Even a few from more obscure labels. 
Here's the info on this item:


Release: Eddie Jefferson w/ James Moody And His Orchestra - Billie's Bounce / I'm In The Mood For Love

Format: 45 rpm 7" single


Year: 1957


Notes: Maroon label 1st pressing. One of just a handful of singles released by Jefferson who originated the style of matching his vocals to a jazz riff or solo.  This features him vocalizing over James Moody's orchestra, which itself includes Johnny Coles and Jimmy Boyd.  Interesting stuff and very much worth hearing.


Vinyl Condition: VG+, vinyl is in great shape with hardly any wear at all, one small but noticeable scuff near outer edge of Mood. Looks very clean and sounds great with no skips/ticks/bumps, plays with hardly any background noise at all.  Labels are nice with no marks/tearing/stickers. Just the slightest bit of scuffing. This is a nice copy overall.


I want buying from me to be a good experience for you. I also know that condition can be very subjective, so I encourage you to see pics for exact condition details and ask questions if you need additional information. As always, the item you see is the one you will get. Please see my feedback, I think that will show that I am an accurate and fair grader and make sure my customers are happy.


I will combine shipping for anyone who wins more than one item.  If you do need combined shipping, please wait for an invoice before paying.
