DEL CLOSE AND JOHN BRENT

"HOW TO SPEAK HIP"

AN INSTRUCTIONAL LP THAT ALTHOUGH HAS SOME COMEDY IN IT,I REALLY THINK WAS DONE AS AN INSTRUCTIONAL AID RATHER THAN A PIECE OF ENTERTAINMENT!

NO AUDIENCE-JUST TWO AMERICANS IN CONVERSATION-A FEW TRACKS WITH SOUND EFFECTS TO CREATE SITUATIONS.

NO DATE BUT IS FROM ABOUT 1960 JUDGING BY THE LOOK OF IT,MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE OTHER RECORDS IN THE COLLECTION AND THE ADVERT LPs INNER SLEEVE WITH THE MOST RECENT LP ADVERTISED BEING A 1960 RELEASE!

MERCURY OCM 2205-MONO-BLACK "GROOVED" LABELS AND A FIXED BOOKLET WITH ARTWORK AS WELL AS A MANUAL,HOUSED IN A LAMINATED FRONT GATEFOLD COVER WITH  A THICK SPINE AND VERY CLEAN UNLIKE MOST LPs OF THE ERA.

IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS RECORD WAS PROBABLY NEVER PLAYED BEFORE MY ONE TEST!

NOTE THE RUBBER STAMPED PROMOTIONAL COPY NOT FOR SALE WORDING INSIDE!

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY COPIES WERE SOLD BUT I WOULD ESTIMATE JUST A FEW HUNDRED AND OF COURSE HOW MANY STILL SURVIVE?

JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER LIKE THIS!!

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS LP BEFORE AND I AM POSITIVE IT WAS NEVER ISSUED IN THE UK! 

MOST COPIES SOLD IN ABOUT 1960 WERE PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT!-THIS ONE PROBABLY ONLY HAD ONE OR TWO PLAYS AT THE MOST-NO SURFACE MARKS AND NO SURFACE NOISE! NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS!

THE COVER IS IMMACULATE!

NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!

THIS LP IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES.

NO HISS!/NO POPS!/NO RUMBLE!

TOTALLY FLAT VINYL! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!

CHECKOUT MY  REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF JUST  £15!!

YOU MIGHT FIND CHEAPER COPIES BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL BE AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE! 

YOU'LL LOVE IT FOR YEARS AND HOPEFULLY WILL RETURN TO ME AGAIN!   

SUPERB  SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.

 I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
