An EXTREMELY RARE and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE
1957 UK tri-centre 7" single by The Johnny Burnette Trio - Honey Hush / Lonesome Train
on the VOGUE CORAL record label 45 - Q 72227
Matrix numbers : Side 1 - 45-VC-100267-1C, stamper "1" at 8 o'clock and "CH" at 2 o'clock; Side 2 - 45-VC-100277-1C, stamper "1" at 9 o'clock and "B" at 3.30 o'clock
The overall condition of this record is GOOD only. Some of the original gloss and sheen has been retained but there are a number of light surface scuffs and hairlines but, thankfully, nothing deep rooted which causes the record to skip and certainly no nasty below the surface blemishes.
The quality of the audio is, similarly, GOOD only again. Both sides play through completely with no skips but I did count 5 light, dull, background clicks on each of the sides. There is background crackle throughout both sides. I have no doubt that the quality of the audio, and the appearance of the the vinyl, would greatly benefit from a professional clean of both sides.
Having said all that, both sides of this record are perfectly playable and a joy to listen to, and have a good appearance - but, clearly, there is room for improvement. The labels on each side are in very good condition although the original tri-centre is missing - easily replaceable.
Highly sought after and collectable and a prized item that will only increase in value.
A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 40 years and have a huge collection. A combination of space requirements and a need to help fund my retirement has prompted me to "rationalise" my record collection and sell some of my much loved gems. My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I'll sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item, by the way.
