Description



ALAN FREED Presents The King's Henchmen 7" EP CORAL UK 1959 Super Rare !!!

Up for auction is a very rare tri-centre single called ALAN FREED Presents The King's Henchmen, coming from my own personal collection. It was released in the U.K in 1959 on the highly collectable CORAL label. It's quite amazing to note that it's 47 years old and still in such impeccable condition. Though it's in no way perfect (nothing is), it's quite rare to be able to locate this EP these days, let alone to find one in such condition.

Audio

Although there are some faint crackles in places, the music comes across loud and clear, no skips whatsoever. I'm thus of the opinion that in many ways, it's still an outstanding record aurally, more so after taking the age into consideration.

Notes:

* I do not ship locally.
* Grading has been done as accurately and strictly as humanly possible. It's based on the standards set by "Record Collector".
* The photo(s) is/are of the actual item(s) and have been taken as close as possible. So rest assured that what you see is what you get.
* Prompt delivery is always my goal. Hence the package is normally posted the next working day. The local post office normally ships it out overseas either on the same, if not, next working day. My experiences with them so far have been top notch, to say the least. I'm not responsible for any late delivery by your local post office.
