I HAD OVER TWO HOURS OF PURE JAZZ JOY!

NO JUMPS! NO STICKS! NO LOUD CLICKS! 

A FASCINATING AND WONDERFUL LOT AND IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITIONS WHEN MOST 78s DO NOT SURVIVE MORE THAN A FEW PLAYS,NOT BEING MADE FOR LONG TERM USE IN MIND!

 **************************************************************

MOST OF THESE 78s ARE MEGA RARE,QUITE POSSIBLY THE ONLY SURVIVING COPIES IN THE WORLD IN DECENT CONDITION!

In the 1950s MOST 78s were used with not much care and quickly damaged on the primitive and heavy equipment of the time with disastrous consequences or even broken!

MANY HAVE BEEN THROWN AWAY OR IN THE HANDS OF NON-SELLING PRIVATE COLLECTORS!! 

This UNIQUE LOT is from the collection of the former Esquire jazz label boss,Peter Newbrook who passed away nearly two years ago.

I have been selling many of his carefully preserved records over the last year on ebay and you are welcome to trawl through my feedback to see more examples to prove the amazing quality of his collection!

ESQUIRE RECORDS WAS ONE OF THE BEST BRITISH JAZZ RECORD LABELS OF THE 1950s AND 1960s WITH STRONG AMERICAN LINKS AND PETER NEWBROOK WAS ALSO A MUSICIAN,WELL KNOWN TO JAZZ ARTISTS AND OTHER RECORD LABEL BOSSES WORLDWIDE!

HE WAS A VERY MAJOR JAZZ RECORD COLLECTOR AND A HI-FI BUFF!!

NO WONDER HE HAD THESE EXCITING 78s IN HIS COLLECTION AND HAD THE VISION TO KEEP THEM SAFELY STORED FOR OVER 50 YEARS, WHEN MOST TURN UP WITH NO COVERS AT ALL!! 

A FEW OF THE 78s HAVE ULTRA FAINT,TINY SURFACE MARKS AND LIGHT,TINY SCUFFS IN STRONG LIGHT BUT NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS AND ONLY MINOR SURFACE NOISE.

THE MAJORITY HAVE GLEAMING SURFACES!!! 

CLEAN LABELS WITH NO STAINING OR PEELING.

A FEW HAVE SMALL LABELS SUCH AS FACTORY SAMPLE OR A TAX DUTY STICKER BUT THE MAJORITY ARE TOTALLY CLEAN!SEE PHOTO! 

THEY ARE SIMPLY STUNNING WITH NO HORRIBLE AGE STAINING OR NASTY DAMP,SMOKEY SMELL!

NO NASTY PATCHES OR SPILLAGES!!

THE VERY EARLIEST UK PRESSINGS POSSIBLE!!

 A LOW REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF £100 FOR THE 25 DISCS-JUST £4 EACH!!
