Lawrence Welk Go Away Little Girl Vinyl Record Album Appraisal

Lawrence Welk - Go Away Little Girl Vinyl Record Album

This is a 12-inch long-playing (LP) vinyl record album titled 'Go Away Little Girl' by the American musician and television personality Lawrence Welk, released under the Ranwood Records label (catalog number R-8091). The cardstock cover features a central oval portrait of a smiling Lawrence Welk holding his signature conductor's baton, set against a light blue background. He is dressed in a burgundy textured blazer, a striped shirt, and a wide 1970s-style patterned tie. The surrounding border is a deep purple color with high-contrast yellow typography for the title. The album includes a tracklist of popular covers from the early 1970s, such as 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' and 'Rainy Days and Mondays.' Condition-wise, the jacket shows moderate shelf wear, including visible scuffing and ring wear on the purple sections, edge wear along the perimeter, and corner rounding. There is a small tear or 'bump' visible at the top edge. The bottom right displays the 'Ranwood' logo. This item, likely dating from 1971 based on the tracklist, represents a standard commercial release of easy-listening orchestral music from the post-Golden Age of television variety shows.
