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 OF MOST OF THESE.
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.
MICHAEL COX
SERIOUS / TOO HOT TO HANDLE
DECCA (F 11182)
1959
SLEEVE: COMES IN ORIGINAL PARLOPHONE COMPANY SLEEVE IN VG CONDITION
RECORD CONDITION:
THE 'A' SIDE OF THIS RARE SHELLAC PRESSING IS IN A STRONG EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST THE ODD VERY SMALL FAINT SURFACE MARK. VERY CLOSE TO EX+. THE 'B' SIDE IS SIMILAR BUT DOES HAVE A SMALL AREA WITH A FEW VERY LIGHT, TINY SURFACE TYPE SCRATCHES/NEEDLE LINES SO I WILL GRADE AS AN EX-. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT NONE OF THESE APPEAR TO BE AUDIBLE. ABSOLUTELY NO AUDIBLE SCRATCHES OR OTHER AUDIBLE MARKS ON THE SURFACES WHATSOEVER. THE SHELLAC RETAINS A NICE BLACK LUSTRE WITH NONE OF THE 'GREY GROOVES' USUALLY SEEN ON THESE OLD SHELLAC DISCS. THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AS A 78RPM.
BOTH LABELS ARE EXCELLENT WITH NO OBVIOUS SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE.
PLAYBACK IS IS EXCELLENT ON BOTH SIDES. NO CLICKS OR POPS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE AND JUST A COUPLE OF SOLITARY TICKS. PLAYS THROUGH WITH STRONG DISTORTION FREE SOUND
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
