Description Contents: eight 7-inch 45 rpm singles, all vinyl, all loose without sleeves Promotional copies: the Doors Elektra pressing marked for radio station use in mono, the De Vons King pressing marked PROMOTIONAL, and the Downtown Collection pressing marked DJ COPY NOT FOR SALE Commercial copies: two Bell singles from the Partridge Family and David Cassidy, a Scepter B.J. Thomas side, a Disneyland Hansel and Gretel side, and a Peter Pan Smokey the Bear side Marks: catalog numbers and label text as quoted above, plus a red ink received stamp on the Downtown Collection label Size: standard 7 in 45 rpm format; no tape-measure frame is included Attribution note The Doors single is the March 1969 Elektra release of Robby Krieger's "Wishful Sinful," catalog EK-45656, the second single pulled from The Soft Parade; it reached number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1969, and Elektra issued dedicated mono radio station promo copies alongside the stock stereo pressing, as Wikipedia, the Cash Box trade listings archived at World Radio History, and Discogs release data all record. The De Vons single on King, catalog 6226, appears in James Brown production discographies as a 1969 release paired with "Never Find a Love Like Mine," which supports the "A JAMES BROWN PRODUCTION" credit printed on the label. The two Bell singles are from the 1971 peak of the Partridge Family television phenomenon, both produced by Wes Farrell for Coral Rock Productions and distributed by Bell Records, a division of Columbia Pictures Industries per the label text itself. Peter Pan Records was founded in 1948 or 1949 by brothers Daniel and Louis Kasen and operated as a children's imprint of the Synthetic Plastics Company of Newark, New Jersey, into the 1970s, according to Wikipedia and the Both Sides Now Publications label discographies, which matches the "Synthetic Plastics Co., Newark, N.J." credit on the label. Disneyland Records was Walt Disney's own label, and the Camarata conducting credit refers to Tutti Camarata, the label's longtime music director.

Notes for bidders Handle 45s by the outer edge and the label area only, never across the grooves, since fingerprint oils attract the dust that causes surface noise. Store them upright rather than stacked, as stacking loose discs without sleeves is what puts scuffs across playing surfaces. Keep them out of a hot vehicle or attic, since vinyl warps at surprisingly low temperatures. Clean only with a proper record brush or a record cleaning solution - household sprays and paper towels scratch. Sleeves are inexpensive and worth adding immediately if you are keeping these. Only the item(s) pictured are included in this lot. Terms Sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. All sales final. Please ask any questions before bidding.
