Rosemary Clooney – Hey There / This Ole House

About this record

The dead-wax inscriptions RZSP 10927 and RZSP 10928 identify the sides of Rosemary Clooney’s US Columbia single, with the more detailed variants RZSP10927-1G and RZSP10928-1A recorded for this edition. The 1954 release pairs “Hey There” with “This Ole House” on a mono styrene 45, catalogue number 4-40266.

What drives its value

The price guide places this Columbia 4-40266 single at $13.71 in M, $12.27 in NM, $9.38 in VG+, and $6.49 in VG, so the condition-specific estimates provide a clear reference rather than one undifferentiated price. The listed market snapshot shows 96 copies for sale and a lowest price of $0.12; that listing figure is distinct from the condition guide and should not be treated as a graded valuation.

Community data records 559 owners and 29 want entries, indicating more recorded ownership than active want-list demand. The facts identify a US 1954 issue, but provide no other-pressings comparison, so they do not establish a premium over an original, reissue, or edition from another country.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm that the copy matches Rosemary Clooney’s Columbia 4-40266, the US mono styrene 45 pairing “Hey There” and “This Ole House.” Compare the dead wax on both sides with the recorded strings RZSP 10927 and RZSP 10928; the listed detailed forms are RZSP10927-1G and RZSP10928-1A. The supplied facts do not name a pressing plant, so plant attribution cannot be confirmed from this record entry.

The release has no barcode, making the catalogue number, Columbia label, format, and runout evidence the available identification points. For valuation, use the guide’s grade-specific reference: $9.38 for VG+ and $6.49 for VG, with the higher-condition entries at $12.27 for NM and $13.71 for M.

The guide does not define grading criteria, so describe the copy’s condition consistently with the grading standard used in the sale.
