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.
  FRANKIE LYMON
PORTABLE ON MY SHOULDER / MAMA DON'T ALLOW IT
COLUMBIA (DB 4134) 
1958 
SLEEVE: COMES IN ORIGINAL COLUMBIA COMPANY SLEEVE IN VG CONDITION

RECORD CONDITION:
BOTH SIDES OF THIS RARE SHELLAC PRESSING ARE IN EX CONDITION WITH JUST THE VERY ODD FAINT, WISPY SURFACE TRACE AND VERY LITTLE ELSE. ABSOLUTELY NO AUDIBLE MARKS OR SCRATCHES ON THE SURFACES WHATSOEVER. THE SHELLAC RETAINS A LOVELY BLACK SHEEN WITH NONE OF THE 'GREY GROOVES' THAT ARE OFTEN FOUND ON THESE OLD RECORDS. A RARE COLUMBIA PRESS FROM FRANKIE LYMON WHICH SOLD IN TINY QUANTITIES AND IS SO DIFFICULT TO FIND ON 78.
BOTH LABELS ARE EXCELLENT WITH JUST TWO OR THREE FAINT SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE. 
PLAYBACK IS EXCELLENT AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. NO CLICKS, TICKS OR POPS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE. PLAYS THROUGH WITH STRONG DISTORTION FREE SOUND
OLD 1950s SHELLAC 78s HARDLY EVER COME ALONG IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION. YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY OF THIS RARITY ANYWHERE. 
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
