COUNTRY & WESTERN! SOME COOL STUFF HERE! This section is about the same size as it was last year. I’ve now gone through the WALL of vintage c&w records downstate, and I should be adding substantial quantities in the future, because all c&w records are now in Chicago (unless somebody fails to pick up the bid load of “mint” charted hits...PRETTY MUCH ONLY ONE COPY OF EACH. He’s supposed to buy them... ) I HAVE MANY MORE country records (vintage) to add in the future. Frank Merrill/SATURDAY NIGHT RECORDS 848 Dodge Avernue, #PMB-112 Evanston IL 60202 fmerrilljr4@4yahoo.com (REMOVE both of the 4’s) OVERSEAS: ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR ADDRESS ON YOUR ORDER, PLEASE! THIS IS VITAL. THIS DOCUMENT HAS THREE SECTIONS : The first section is the usual section of assorted stuff. The second section, which I’ve never had before, are CHARTED COUNTRY HITS, nearly all Fifties/early Sixties vintage. I’m doing this the same way that I’ve been doing Hot 100 (rock and roll) hits separately for decades now…artists and titles only, without label information. I assume that if you’re interested in any of these, you already know that information. However, some labels/numbers will be annotated, if they’re non-standard releases or reissues…OR, IN SOME CASES, when I’m not 100% sure if it charted, I’ll include label/number. The third section is ENTIRELY 10-inch records: 1950s sampler records (usually 4 Star but occasional others), and a second part with 78s, and this section has now been converted to Set Sale. I've never listed c&w 78s/10-inch before other than half-heartedly trying only several once! Prices have now all been converted to Set Sale.
