BUDDY HOLLY AUSSIE LP NUMBER SIX NASHVILLE SESSIONS

	A$		40
	$		26

THIS LP IS BY 'BUDDY HOLLY (AND THE THREE TUNES)' AND IS CALLED 'THE EARLY BUDDY HOLLY' AND WAS RELEASED HERE IN AUSTRALIA ON THE 8TH AUGUST 1961 ON THE DARK BLUE FESTIVAL LABEL FL-7112.

ALL OF HOLLYS MATERIAL WHICH WAS RECORDED AT DECCA WAS DISTRIBUTED HERE IN AUSTRALIA ON THE FESTIVAL LABEL (PARENT COMPANY) AND ALL THOSE RECORDED AT NORMAN PETTYS ON THE CORAL LABEL. 

THE COVER DESIGN OF THIS LP IS UNIQUE TO AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.

IT IS THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY PRESSING ON THIS LABEL DESIGN AND NUMBER. HOWEVER, IT WAS LATER ISSUED ON THE LIGHT BLUE FESTIVAL LABEL WITH A DIFFERENT NUMBER WHICH WILL BE NUMBER SEVEN ON MY LISTINGS. THIS LP IS VERY HARD TO FIND.

THE TRACKS ARE:

YOU ARE MY ONE DESIRE, BLUE DAYS BLACK NIGHTS, MODERN DON JUAN, ROCK AROUND WITH OLLIE VEE, TING-A-LING, GIRL ON MY MIND, THAT''LL BE THE DAY, LOVE ME, I'M CHANGING ALL THOSE CHANGES, DON'T COME BACK KNOCKING AND MIDNIGHT SHIFT.

THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND CLEAR.

THE COVER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION ON THE FRONT BUT THE BACK HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE WATER MARKS ON THE BLHC AD PART OF THE BOTTOM FLAP IS MISSING SO I WOULD GRADE IT AS FAIR TO GOOD.

THE RECORD IS IN VERY GOOD++ CONDITION WITH SOME SURFACE MARKS ON SIDE B.

THE RECORD PLAYS LOUD AND CLEAR.

N.B. I HAVE ONLY PLAYED SIDE ONE AND THE FIRST 3-4 TRACKS AS I WAS PUTTING THE ITEM ON.

For grading purposes I play side one only of an EP or 45 (mainly the ‘A’ side) and a few tracks on side one of an LP.

I also grade records on a perceived appearance basis. I then combine them (playing and appearance) for an overall grading. I believe this to be the most effective way of grading records. Some records can look ordinary but they play well and vikky vika. If unhappy with my product in any way please contact me, Roddy Jordan by phone 02 66875339 or overseas 011 61 2 66875339 or by email: hollysbuddy1@bigpond.com or 18 Montwood Drive Lennox Head 2478 Australia and I will refund your money in full after I receive the product back.

PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE

       All vinyl listed on auction has been cleaned, played and visually inspected so that you may bid with confidence. Albums (LPs) and Extended Plays (EPs) are sent with the record outside of the cover and placed in an outer plastic sleeve (to prevent ring-wear) before safely packed.

       Where required, the sleeves have been cleaned with a secret formula to eradicate as much ring-wear and built up dirt as possible.

I use the English Record Collectors Magazine Guidelines for gradings as this appears to be the generally accepted term of reference with variances to + or minus. Below are grading scales.

GRADING DEFINITIONS FROM THE ENGLISH RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE

MINT (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just about playable, but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

THERE ARE VARIANCES + OR - TO THE ABOVE ASSESSMENTS.
