BIG BOPPER - 78 rpm "Chantilly Lace" UK Mercury label, NM to M-

$

103

This is a gorgeous NM to M- copy of the Big Bopper classic “Chantilly Lace” on the UK Mercury label. The record retains a brilliant luster on both sides and playback on my 1015 Wurlitzer is pristine. There are no edge chips, cracks or deep scratches and the record is not warped.

SHIPPING: FOR SINGLE TITLES, AIRMAIL FROM CANADA TO THE US IS 15.67 US, SURFACE IS 12.66 US. SINGLE TITLE AIRMAIL FROM CANADA TO THE UK AND EUROPE IS 34.82 US. SURFACE IS CHEAPER, BUT MUCH SLOWER (3-6 WEEKS). SHIPPING WITHIN CANADA, DEPENDING ON LOCATION, IS 11.00 – 22.00 US.

Your record(s) will arrive gently sandwiched between rigid 10X10" slabs of cardboard wrapped in double layers of bubble wrap, all of which is then cocooned in Styrofoam pellets in a sturdy 12X12X6 inch box.

PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE.

I am happy to combine up to 4 records in one order to save shipping costs.

I've been a 78 rpm collector for many years and know how to handle, accurately grade and--most importantly--how to safely package these fragile beauties for shipping.

Please keep an eye on this page for future posts. I'm thinning a very large collection of Rock & Roll and Doo Wop 78s and will be adding new batches as often as eBay allows. My plan is to ship all purchases once a week.

Thanks for looking and good luck!
