Description
I WILL DESCRIBE ALL THAT I CAN SEE AND SHOW YOU PLENTY OF PHOTOGRAPHS SO THAT YOU CAN REALLY ASSESS CONDITION FOR YOURSELF.
MY FEEDBACK COMMENTS SHOULD REASSURE YOU OF MY HONEST DESCRIPTIONS (ANY DEFECTS WILL BE STATED SO WILL YOU SHOULD NOT BE DISAPPOINTED UPON RECEIPT OF THE ITEM), FAIR POSTAGE RATES, EXCELLENT PACKAGING AND PROMPT DELIVERY UPON CLEARED PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED.
A VERY HARD TO FIND ROCK n ROLL / DOO WOP SINGLE FROM 1957 by OTIS WILLIAMS AND HIS CHARMS CALLED,"WALKIN' AFTER MIDNIGHT".
WITH B-SIDE,"I'M WAITING JUST FOR YOU"....BOTH GREAT DOO WOP / ROCK A BILLY / ROCK n ROLL NUMBERS.
THE A-SIDE LABEL LOOKS TO BE A BLACK LABEL AND THE REASON FOR THIS I DO NOT KNOW; RELABELLING DUE TO AN ERROR WITH ITS MANUFACTURE SUCH AS THE WRONG LABEL BEING APPLIED; DELIBERATELY COVERED OR INKED OVER FOR SOME REASON, ETC?
RELEASED ON THE PURPLE PAPER AND GOLD LETTERING PARLOPHONE LABEL WITH CATALOGUE NUMBER 45-R 4293. RELEASED IN 1957.
MATRIX DETAILS AS I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW IN MY PHOTOGRAPHS AS:
Side 1: 45-GR-15396-1N with G and RT. PROBABLY THE SAME POSITIONING AS FOR THE B-SIDE BUT WITH A BLACK LABEL IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY - PLEASE READ ON FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
Side 2: 45-GR-15402-1N at 6 o'clock with G and RT at 9 o'clock.
I WILL GIVE YOU AS MUCH DETAIL IN THE FORM OF PHOTOGRAPHS AND TEXT AS I THINK YOU WILL NEED TO JUDGE ON CONDITION.
COVER: RECORD COMES IN A NON-PERIOD, PLASTIC-LINED CARD SLEEVE.
SIDE 1: IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NOTICEABLE SCUFFING THAT ARE MAINLY CONCENTRATED TO THE RUN-OFF AREA. THE RECORDED AREA FARES A LOT BETTER.
WHAT I CANNOT EXPLAIN IS THE BLACK LABEL TO THE A-SIDE AS THIS WOULD APPEAR TO HAVE THE SAME SCUFFING LIKE MARKS AS THE RUN-OFF AREA. LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN DONE ON PURPOSE.
I HAVE HELD THE RECORD UP TO A BRIGHT LIGHT AND CANNOT SEE ANY OF THE PRINTED DETAIL SO I DO NO THINK THAT IT HAS BEEN PAINTED OVER.
I ALSO DO NOT THINK THAT THE PAPER LABEL HAS BEEN REMOVED AS THE RIDGING TO THE EDGE OFTHE RECORDS STILL LOOKS TO BE IN PLACE.
WAS THIS DELIBERATELY DONE OR DID THIS OCCUR AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE OR ISIT A DEMO AFFECT? I JUST DO NOT KNOW...BUT MAYBE YOU DO?!
THERE IS VERY LITTLE WEAR FROM PLAY SO PLAYS WELL THROUGHOUT ALTHOUGH WITH EXPECTED BACK GROUND NOISE.
SIDE 2: GRADED AS BEING IN EXCELLENT- CONDITION, WITH MUCH LESS IN THE WAY OF SCUFFING/MARKS BEING PRESENT.
THERE ARE STILL OBVIOUS CLICKS BUT THE TRACK STILL PLAYS FINE THROUGHOUT WITH NO JUMPS OR STICKING.
SOME WEAR TO THE LABEL AS SHOWN WITH A BIRO SQUIGGLE TO THE LEFT HAND AREA ABOVE THE RECORDS DETAILS (PROBABLY SOME INITIALS).
THE RECORD IS NOT WARPED AND THE 4-POINT CENTRE IS AN ORIGINAL FIXING AND HAS NOT BEEN GLUED BACK IN PLACE LIKE YOU SOMETIMES SEE!
I WILL OF COURSE SEND THIS RARE RECORD VERY WELL PROTECTED IN PLASTIC AND BETWEEN CORRUGATED CARD FOR PROTECTION.
I HAVE SOLD OVER 2500 ITEMS ON EBAY INCLUDING A LARGE RANGE OF ITEMS WITH NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK SO THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU THE ASSURANCE THAT YOU CAN BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!
I THINK I HAVE GIVEN YOU ALL THE DETAILS YOU WILL NEED TO JUDGE ON CONDITION BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ANYTHING MORE THEN PLEASE JUST ASK!!
PERSONAL COLLECTION OF THE RECORD IS OF COURSE ALSO ACCEPTABLE.YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED SO GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING!! PLEASE LOOK AT MY RECORD OF 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK TO BE ASSURED I AM A TOTALLY HONEST SELLER. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!!
