Description

I HAVE FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL OFF MY 78RPM COLLECTION. OVER THE COMING MONTHS I WILL BE LISTING AN INTERESTING MIX OF RARE U.K. SHELLAC RECORDS. THESE WILL ALL BE AT SET SALE (BUY IT NOW) PRICES WHICH REFLECT NOT JUST THE RARITY OF THESE BUT ALSO THE OUTSTANDING CONDITION.
I HAVE ALWAYS STRIVED TO COLLECT THE VERY BEST CONDITION RECORDS POSSIBLE AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE FINEST FROM MY MANY DECADES OF COLLECTING.
  CARL PERKINS
YOUR TRUE LOVE / MATCHBOX
SUN (SUN 261) 
1957 
SLEEVE: COMES IN WHITE CARD SLEEVE IN EX CONDITION

RECORD CONDITION:
BOTH SIDES OF THIS SUPER RARE SHELLAC PRESSING ARE IN A VERY STRONG VG++/EX- CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW VERY LIGHT SURFACE RUBS / TINY MARKS, ONE VERY LIGHT NON SOUNDING SCRATCH ON THE 'A' SIDE AND JUST A FEW ABSOLUTELY TINY HAIRLINE SCRATCHES, NONE OF WHICH SOUND. ABSOLUTELY NO AUDIBLE MARKS OR SCRATCHES ON THE SURFACES WHATSOEVER. THE SHELLAC RETAINS A GOOD LUSTRE WITH NONE OF THE 'GREY GROOVES' USUALLY FOUND ON THESE DISCS. TWO GREAT SIDES HERE FROM CARL PERKINS ON AN ORIGINAL SUN 78RPM AND IN FAR BETTER CONDITION THAN MOST THAT ARE FOUND NOWADAYS.
'A' SIDE LABEL IS EXCELLENT WITH NO OBVIOUS SPINDLE TRACES.'B' SIDE LABEL HAS A LITTLE LIGHT RUBBING OVER THE TITLE BUT NO OBVIOUS SPINDLE TRACES.
PLAYBACK IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. NO REPETITIVE CLICKS OR POPS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE AND I ONLY HEARD A COUPLE OF SOLITARY TICKS ON THE 'A' SIDE. PLAYS THROUGH WITH STRONG DISTORTION FREE SOUND. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
OLD 1950s SHELLAC 78s HARDLY EVER COME ALONG IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION (ESPECIALLY SUN LABEL ONES). I THINK THIS IS THE ONLY ONE AVAILABLE ON EBAY U.K. AT THE TIME OF LISTING. 
ALL RECORDS ARE SECURELY PACKED USING A PVC SLEEVE FOLLOWED BY LAYERS OF PACKING CARD. THIS IS THEN PLACED IN A DEEP BOX AND SURROUNDED BY PACKING PEANUTS. FINALLY THE BOX IS SECURELY TAPED UP BEFORE DISPATCH
 AS A PRIVATE SELLER, POSTAGE WILL BE DETERMINED FOR ME BY EBAY SO IS OUT OF MY CONTROL. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS PLEASE LET ME KNOW
