AGREAT COPY

\"What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes at Me For?\" is a song written by Joseph McCarthy, Howard Johnson and James V. Monaco in 1916 for the Broadway production Follow Me, in which it was performed by Henry Lewis.[1][2]

Early recordings
Lewis\' version was released as a single on Emerson Records in early 1917.[3][4][5] Around the same time, a version by Sam Ash was released in February on Columbia Records, having been recorded on 11 December 1916.[6][7] It was first a hit when released in March that year by Ada Jones and Billy Murray on Victor Records, peaking at number 3 on the US Billboard chart.[8][9]

The song became a UK hit in 1959 when a doo-wop version was recorded by Emile Ford and the Checkmates as the B-side of their single \"Don\'t Tell Me Your Trouble\". This B-side became more popular and it topped the charts for six weeks over the Christmas and New Year of 1959/60. It retained the number one position for the first three weeks of 1960.[11] This earned Ford his first gold disc for sales of over a million, which was \"an incredible feat for an unknown singer with his debut recording\".[12] The song was co-produced by Ford and Joe Meek.[10]

Quick noteon grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don\'t give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
\"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET\" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
\"VERY QUIET\" is anabove averagequiet record for a given pressing.
\"Quiet\" is a record that is a great example with some noise.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
