Description
HERE, I HAVE FOR AUCTION AN EXTREMELY RARE SPECIAL EDITION (FIRST PRESSING?) RED VINYL ALBUM CALLED "SWINGIN' DORS" FROM 1960 BY DIANA DORS - WITH THE WALLY STOTT ORCHESTRA - ON PYE RECORDS. THE NUMBER IS NPL 18044 AND IT'S RECORDED IN GLORIOUS MONO!
THIS IS A VERY RARE RECORD, AND QUITE POSSIBLY THE FIRST RED VINYL ALBUM EVER PRESSED IN ENGLAND.
THE RED VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH A FEW VERY FINE AND BARELY VISIBLE MARKS, CERTAINLY NON DEEP SCRATCHES OR HEAVY MARKS. THE BRIGHT RED VINYL HAS KEPT ITS BRILLIANT DEEP SHINE TOO.
I HAVE NO WAY OF JUDGING THE PLAYABILITY OF THIS RECORD NOW, SINCE I DON'T ANY LONGER HAVE A RECORD PLAYER OR TURNTABLE, BUT LOOKING AT THE GROOVES UP CLOSE, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT IT SHOULD PLAY PERFECTLY FINE WITH THE USUAL CRACKLE AND STATIC OF SUCH AN OLD RECORDING.
PLEASE TAKE A CAREFUL LOOK AT ALL OF THE PICTURES, SO THAT YOU CAN BE SURE OF THE CONDITION OF THIS RECORD AND ITS COVER BEFORE BIDDING - AND BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS IS A VERY RARE RECORD THAT IS NOW 55 YEARS OLD - SO DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE PRISTINE.
THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN GOOD CONDITION, WITH A LITTLE FLAKING ON THE RIGHT FOLDING EDGE. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD COVER, THERE IS A SMALL WHITE MARK ON THE BLACK RIGHT FOLD-OUT SECTION, AND THIS HAS TRANSFERRED ONTO THE BLACK AND WHITE PICTURE OF DIANA DORS IN THE MIDDLE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONFIRM THIS MARK IN THE PICTURE AS BEING ON DIANA'S CHIN. THE REAR (RED WITH WHITE LETTERING) OF THE COVER IS NEAR PERFECT, AS IS THE INNER RECORD SLEEVE - WHICH HAS ALL OF THE PYE ADVERTISING AND JUST A SMALL CREASE ON THE LOWER LEFT.
THE RED AND SILVER LABELS ON BOTH SIDE OF THE RECORD ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH NO SCRIBBLES, MARKS OR SCUFFS.
Really unsure what to price this record at - can see one in similar condition currently for £125 on Amazon, but have tried to be a little more realistic by starting the bidding at £100 below Amazon in the hope that a collector is looking for something special for Christmas perhaps?
Collection welcome from SG11 area North of Ware in Hertfordshire - just off the A10.
