ATTENTION 1950s BRITISH FOLK,TOPIC LABEL AND EP COLLECTORS! 

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST EDITION OF AN EP THAT IS GETTING HARD TO FIND ESPECIALLY WITH THE USUALLY MISSING INFORMATION INSERT!    

A.L.LLOYD AND EWAN MAcCOLL:

 "THE COAST OF PERU".

 RECORDED IN 1956 AND FIRST ISSUED 59 YEARS AGO IN 1956 AT A TIME WHEN MOST FOLKS WERE STICKING WITH 78s(THE FOOLS!)THIS BEING A 1960 REISSUE.

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK MONO PRESSING ON THE ROUGH TEXTURED TOPIC LABELS.TOP 100. ALMOST EVERY COPY LIKE THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED A LOT OR AT LEAST THE COVER WOULD HAVE MAJOR DAMAGE OR DEFACEMENT SPOILING IT'S GLORY! THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FEW SURVIVING DECENT UK PRESSING EXAMPLES IN THE WORLD!

THE VINYL HAS A FEW ULTRA FAINT SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE IN VERY STRONG LIGHT! NO SPINDLE WEAR OR EVIDENCE OF MUCH PLAY! 

HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! 

VERY STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION!  THE SOLID MONO MIXES HAVE A DEPTH AND WARMTH THAT IS OFTEN MISSING ON THE "SPREAD OUT FAKE STEREO" REMIXES WHICH MAY EXIST. SERIOUSLY RARE AS A GENUINE FIRST UK PRESS!  FANTASTIC WARM,RICH,SOLID MONO SOUND. THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER  HAS NO WRITING OR RIPS UNLIKE MOST COVERS OF THIS AGE! NO LAMINATION PEELING! JUST A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE MILD STAINING BUT VERY PRESENTABLE FOR 55 YEARS OLD!

IT STILL HAS IT'S ORIGINAL TRACING PAPER INNER SLEEVE-USUALLY MISSING WITH NO RIPS OR REPAIRS! 

 BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!    

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THIS RECORD ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION AND NOT CLEARLY GRADED. JUST ONE OWNER FROM NEW,THE LATE PETER NEWBROOK,THE BOSS OF ESQUIRE RECORDS WHO HAD A MASSIVE COLLECTION WITH MANY DUPLICATES SUCH AS USA/UK ISSUE VARIANTS,HENCE THIS STAGGERING AND MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.THOSE THAT DID HAVE PLAYS WERE ON TOP OF THE RANGE PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT AND CAREFULLY STORED WITH MOST OF HIS RECORDS ON STURDY SHELVING IN HIS TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED ARCHIVE-BARELY BEING PLAYED IN MANY YEARS! 

PETER NEWBROOK WAS A JAZZ MUSICIAN,WRITER,RECORD REVIEWER ON JAZZ,A FILM DIRECTOR AND THE OWNER OF THE BRITISH JAZZ LABEL ESQUIRE WHICH ISSUED MANY BRITISH,AMERICAN AND CONTINENTAL RECORDINGS AND AS SUCH HAD MANY STRONG CONTACTS,KNEW MANY JAZZ MUSICIANS AND FRIENDS IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS IN THE UK AND USA WHO WOULD SEND HIM EARLY ADVANCE COPIES OF RECORDS FOR HIS OPINIONS AND APPROVAL-THE MAJORITY ADDED TO HIS SHELVES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS IF THAT AS HE WAS A VERY BUSY MAN INDEED! I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY MOST OF HIS VAST COLLECTION SEVERAL YEARS BACK AS LONG TERM EBAYERS AND JAZZ COLLECTORS WILL RECALL.  NATURALLY AS A LONG TERM COLLECTOR MYSELF,I COULDN'T RESIST KEEPING SOME OF THEM BUT I AM PRUNING DOWN AGAIN WITH THE NEED FOR SPACE SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THESE TOP QUALITY RARITIES WHICH MAY NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN AS GOOD AS THESE EXAMPLES!

DEALERS AND COLLECTORS TRAVEL FOR MANY MILES TO VISIT ME-MOST NOT EVEN ASKING TO EXAMINE MY RECORDS AS THEY TRUST MY VERY STRICT JUDGEMENT AND GRADINGS! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS COPY HAS NO JUMPS!/NO STICKS!/NO NASTY CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!How many were preserved like this one-??

HARDLY USED AND NOT SERIOUSLY ABUSED!!!!!!

The 1960s equipment was often basic with much heavier tonearms than later lightweight pickups.

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear FOLK and always will be!  

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

IT IS STILL FAR BETTER THAN MOST AROUND! 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A VERY NICE COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK

THE EP AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE COVER BEFORE SENDING!
