hi ARTISTE, RECORD TITLE AND LABEL:
Chuck Sims “ Little Pigeon/ Life Isn’t Long Enough” London 45-HL-R.8577
A rare original 1958 UK tri-centre London 45 housed in its generic London sleeve. Though visually it looks VG with several visible lines, it played far better than it looks(see results of my play grading below).
I have been inactive on EBay for the last few years as I opened a shop here in Singapore and I will be placing the harder to find albums on eBay in addition to my own local sales. As I tend to clean and play grade all opened copies, I will only be placing a rather limited quantity each time. Details of such cleaning and play grading are indicated below.
International Buyers – Please Note:Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.Buyers please also note that I am based in Singapore .The maximum Ebay UK lists for shipping is 9.5 GBP but this would not cover shipping from Singapore let alone signed for, registered mail.Please read my shipping costs section below.
GRADING RESULTS: Visual grading: The jacket generally looks VG++. Visually the vinyl looks VG with a number of visible lines. Tracking at 1.7g, on a Linn LP12 with my stereo cartridge, there was some extraneous surface noise but it was not intrusive and did not affect the music. There were no skipping. The playing was VG++. I tried it on my mono set up and it played excellent to near mint.
How I Clean and Grade my Records Cleaning is usually done on a Loricraft PRC4D cleaning machine and using the US made Walker Audio stage cleaning solution.
Playback Equipment: Playback is through a Linn LP12 turntable/ Radikal/Urika/Keel Naim Aro tonearm/Lyra Helikon SL cartridge. Amplification is through a Naim 52 preamp/2x135s into a factory rebuilt Wilson Watt Puppy. For Monos I use a second Aro/Miyajima Mono though I change them occasionally as the arm tubes can be easily transferred from one deck to another.
Shipping costs I use brand new custom made plastic sleeves for the sleeve and anti static plastic sleeves for the vinyl. Shipping is always by Airmail and by registered post as it allows one to track items in case of delays. Shipping costs in pounds are:
UK/USA/Europe 9.5 Each additional 7” : 1.5 GBP Rest Of The World: ask for rates
Postage is via Airmail, "signed for" delivery. I prefer signed for delivery as it allows me to "chase" on my side if buyers do not get their items within 2 weeks though so far this has only happened with Italy. I will inform buyers of the registration details through Email on posting.Forms of payment that I accept include:·
PAYPAL (preferred choice)
