Here are two vintage albums from my collection offered up for sale:  A pair of "roots of rock" records that are a must for any serious record collector! These are two early pressing albums, "Here's Little Richard" his 1957 debut album plus "Buddy Holly And The Crickets", this is a 1963 pressing, both records are on the vintage rigid vinyl, have some light marks but are still play worthy roots of rock n roll albums!

First: Little Richard's "Here's Little Richard",  his debut earth shaking album, this is an original 1957 pressing released on Specialty records SP-2100, with the original black and gold labels (Mono pressing). (note: This same record was released in 1956 with a SP-100 prefix and was made with ceramic based materials for the record which was fragile.) This original 1957 pressing has a more durable vinyl type record and still plays great!
This rigid vinyl record rates VG, is glossy and clean, has light marks & sleevewear, a couple small more moderate marks, has been PLAY TESTED! Plays great from start to finish with very good sound quality, a bit of light surface noise and a couple errant pops (unobtrusive), no skips or jumps, the bright rock and roll really comes thru, a very enjoyable listen!
The vintage cover rates VG+, is clean and bright, no stains, great front portrait of Little Richard with no ring wear, edges and corners have light wear and seams neatly repaired, no tape, opening edge has a small bump, no signatures or writing, back has only a hint of age discoloration, a great vintage cover!! 

PLUS:  "BUDDY HOLLY The Crickets"  This is a 1963 pressing released on Coral records CRL-57405 , this is a black label (Mono), has vintage store price sticker on back, cool!
