RITCHIE VALENS - “Ritchie Valens”
DEL-FI DFLP 1201
Rare Original FIRST PRESSING on the
“Circles” label (not the later sawtooth edition).
Cover presents nice but has some split seaming on the bottom spine and two small pieces of scotch tape (see photos). There is a one inch blue marker line in the top back cover and some wear on the top right corner. But not a terrible cover at all and looks fairly okay.
The disc is the ultra rare first label first pressing but is pretty scuffed and scratchy. I’d grade it a G- and it’s really got its share of wear … taking photos in the harshest possible light to give as accurate a depiction as possible.
I have only seen these true first “circle” editions existing in the Southern California area … don’t think these got distributed elsewhere …
In great condition this would be a $200 LP, but selling at a low price to allow for the wear …
which will still be a nice deal for the right Ritchie Valens collector.
