MEGA-RARE 1961 LP w COVER STICKER- DION- RUNAROUND SUE- LAURIE LLP-2009- NICE!
FOR PERSONAL REASONS, I AM LOWERING THE PRICES ON ALL MY VINYL AND AUCTIONS - MANY FAR BELOW COMPETITIVE. MAKES FOR SOME RARE ITEMS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AT LOW PRICES - THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS FOR COLLECTORS.
I TRULY ATTEMPT TO KEEP MY EYE OUT FOR THE RARE AND UNUSUAL VINYL THAT OCCASIONALLY "POP UP" WHEN SEARCHING FOR NEW VINYL IN ALL TYPES OF SETTINGS AND ENVIRONMENTS (BEGINNING WITH GARAGE SALES, ANTIQUE SHOPS, RECORD STORES, FELLOW COLLECTORS, ETC.). IN ALL MY RESEARCH, I ONLY FOUND ONE OF THESE DION (RUNAROUND SUE) WITH THE MEGA-RARE MANUFACTURER'S BANNER STICKER ADVERTISING DION'S SONGS "THE MAJESTIC" AND "THE WANDERER." I REPEAT THIS FACT BELOW, BUT FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE MEGA-RARE COLLECTIBLE LP'S, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE!
THIS IS SOMEWHAT OF A LANDMARK HISTORIC 1961 ORIGINAL LP ALBUM BY AN IDOL- DION DIMUCCI WHO WAS SIMPLY KNOWN BY "DION." HE LATER JOINED THE BACK-UP GROUP AND CHANGED THEIR NAME TO "DION AND THE BELMONTS."
THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE IS ULTRA-RARE AS IT IS THE ONLY COPY FOUND THAT HAS THE MANUFACTURER'S STICKER ON THE FRONT COVER ADVERTISING DION'S SONGS, "THE MAJESTIC" AND "THE WANDERER." SEE THE PHOTOS AND THEN TRY TO FIND ANOTHER ISSUE LIKE IT.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE ALBUM COVER IS BASICALLY EXCELLENT, AND THE VINYL TEST-PLAYED EXCELLENTLY (WITH ONLY A FEW "POPS" THAT DO NOT EFFECT THE MUSIC AT ALL). I WOULD SAY SO IF THEY DID. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!
UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT, YOU CAN SEE SCRATCHES ON THE VINYL, BUT SURPRISINGLY DO NOT EFFECT THE MUSIC OR DION'S SINGING.
ALTHOUGH NOT MINT, THE LP COVER HAS ONLY A MINIMUM OF AGE WEAR, BUT NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AT ALL (NO SEAM RIPS, TEARS, WRITING, STAINS, ETC.)
BASICALLY, THIS LP IS A COLLECTOR'S DREAM, AND UNLESS SOMEBODY CAN FIND ANOTHER COPY WITH THAT STICKER, IT JUST MAY BE ONE-OF-A-KIND. MATRIX RUNOUT DATA BELOW.
DON'T PASS THIS ONE UP. I DON'T BELIEVE YOU WILL GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO GET AN EXACT COPY AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. I LOOK FOR THE RARE ALBUMS AND SOMETIMES GET LUCKY. NOW IT IS YOUR TURN TO GET LUCKLY.

THOSE REFLECTIONS IN THE SHINY VINYL YOU MAY SEE ARE OF A CHANDELIER I HAVE HANGING OVER THE TABLE WHERE I TAKE MY PHOTOS. DEFININTELY NOT ON THE ACTUAL VINYL.
I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW JUST HOW NICE THE CONDITION IS OF ALL MY RECORD ALBUMS AND VINYL.

YOU CAN SEE THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE ENTIRE PACKAGE AS IT EXISTS.
I BELIEVE I POST MORE PHOTOS OF EACH ITEM IN EVERY AUCTION THAN MOST SELLERS SO THE BUYER CAN SEE THE HIGH QUALITY THEY ARE BUYING.
THIS COPY SHIPS FROM THE U.S.A. - NOT FROM OVERSEAS WHICH SAVES A BUNCH OF SHIPPING COSTS AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE. HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO RETURN AN LP RECEIVED FROM OVERSEAS?? I HAVE, AND IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.
