MGM 13213X My Bonnie / The Saints


Released at the end of January, 1964. In the U.S. this disc was released in a green custom sleeve while in Canada it came in a grey stock MGM company sleeve.

This single was a Top 30 hit in the U.S., however, it did not chart at all in Canada. Lots of copies were distributed in Canada, so it is not an uncommon find, however, near mint to mint copies are rare. 



The matrix on all copies are hand etched. On slightly later pressings the matrix is followed by a "1" or a "2" in a circle while these are absent on the very first pressings.  While the matrix are slightly different collectors are happy with an excellent or NM copy of either.  The valuations are similar. No "DJ" or promotional copies of the Canadian release are known.  




MGM Billboard ad for My Bonnie. 

For a Near Mint copy expect to pay close to $75. VG+ or better copies sell for between $25 and $40.
