Description

Pristine 1959 album signed by Ray Charles

What'd I Say album signed on the back cover in blue ballpoint by Ray Charles. In fine to very fine condition. The record is included. Consignor notes that the album originates from the collection of a former Dallas nightclub owner who amassed a large number of autographed records from the 1950s and 1960s; upon his passing, his widow sold the records to an area record dealer, with the balance purchased by a local record store, from which this particular record was obtained. Given that forged Charles signatures greatly outnumber their authentic counterparts, this beautifully clean example exists as a true musical rarity and is further augmented by its unprecedented well-preserved state. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from REAL.
