Original  1959 pressing of Like Yesterday from Beverly Kenny released just before she committed suicide. It is a very sad story about her life. Record number is DL 8948. The textured cover looks great and there are no seam splits on the top, the bottom or the spine. The top of the cover and the spine both have record copy printing on it with Lp Title, Artist name and the actual record number. They are well centered on both the top and the spine (see Photos). Just looking at the lp under light it looks super clean and this was a collection from an old friend who worked in radio in the 50's and 60's. To me the lp looks just about unplayed. Side 1 has an occasional pop and a little surface noise here and there but it is very listenable I give Side 1 a vg++. It sounds like a record from 1959. Side 2 sounds super clean and I give Side 2 a vg++ to mostly all mint minus. I grade with headphones on so I really listen. This is just a great looking and sounding original Decca Pink Label Promo Deep Groove press and there are not a lot of originals like this around. It is the best copy of this lp I have ever seen and I have only seen about 3 or 4 in all my days. Photos are of the actual item up for bid. I try to grade and listen to these records the best I can and see my feedback. Thanks. Please ask questions too. Oh Yes she can sing well and it just captures the time (1959) and the moment. I could see her singing in an episode of an old Peter Gunn 1959 TV Show.
