Hello and welcome. Beginning in the 1960s, I made it my goal to collect every 5-star record still available, and I continued my search for 40 years. While not all the records I list for sale reached that lofty goal, they do represent an undying search for the unique and wonderful in the world of sound. I'm happy to be able to offer them to you now. Here is what you're bidding on:
TITLE & ARTIST: "Supersonic Guitars" - by Billy Mure on the MGM Record label (E3780), in beautiful original Mono sound, issued in 1959.
CONDITION: JACKET - EX(Jacket is in superb condition, with light corner/edge wear and very light rub wear - please see actual album in photos); VINYL - EX(Vinyl is clear and clean, with a few very light paper scuffs (could easily be graded NM) - visually graded under special daylight balanced spotlight).
SPECIAL FEATURES: Rare and exciting MGM Records original issue of the classic "Supersonic Guitars" album from 1959. One of the best "Space Age Pop" strange offerings of the '50s, this one features an impressive lineup of tunes and performances, all designed to jump right in with Chuck Yeager and ride the "music with supersonic sounds" wave. This is the only copy of this rare album I've ever seen. If you love the "unusual sounds" records, especially of the guitar variety, then please don't miss this one.

OUR GRADING SYSTEM: We grade visually, and we are happy to listen to any LP and give you an aural grade as well. SS (Still Sealed as from the factory); NM (Near Mint - our highest grade; the vinyl has only a very few light marks that do not affect play); VG++ (Very Good Plus Plus - a few more light marks than Near Mint; still a great record that plays near perfectly); VG+ (Very Good Plus - an enjoyable, played and loved, obviously used but still listenable record, usually with some light pops, but free of major audible distraction; jacket may be lightly worn, slightly dinged, even very lightly split, but NEVER trashed); VG (Very Good) and below - we usually do NOT sell these, but if we have some good reason to offer such a record, we will explain completely).
