Description

This listing is for a collection of thirty still sealed U.S. albums by Lesley Gore.

These came from our collection, which we’ve assembled over the past 30+ years.  Some of these titles are nearly impossible to find sealed and this represents a rare opportunity to pick up all of Lesley’s albums at once, including mono pressings, stereo pressings, and cover variations.

This collection includes all of her albums on Mercury, Wing, A&M, 51 West, and Rhino.

The collection includes every one of her U.S. albums; the only album missing is the stereo pressing of Lesley Gore Sings of Mixed-Up Hearts. (The collection includes a mono copy of that album.)

Titles in this lot are:

I’ll Cry If I Want To –

1.  Mono copy – Mercury MG20805 – First issue; no “It’s My Party” banner on cover.   Wrap is fully intact except for a missing 1″ square piece on the top right of the back cover.  Sticker on wrap.  Gorgeous copy of a record that is surprisingly hard to find in mono.  Label variation unknown.

2. Stereo copy – Mercury SR60805 – First issue; no “It’s My Party” banner on cover.  Record is still sealed in plastic inner sleeve.  Black label original.  Cover is VG++ with trace general wear.

We shouldn’t have to elaborate regarding how difficult it can be to amass a collection of sealed 40 and 50 year old records, so we won’t.  If you want a virtually complete collection of sealed albums by this iconic pop artist, here you go.
