RECORD DETAILS:

Phil Philips with The Twilights - Sea of love/Juella      Mercury AMT 1059, 1959          Excellent

This is the original 1959 recording of the song by Phil Philips, who maintains that he was never given full credit or royalties for the disc or for partly writing it under his real name Philip Batiste. In 1989 this record was picked for the crime thriller "Sea of Love", starring Al Pacino, which meant that Phil must have lost a fortune in royalties. The cheaper UK cover by Marty Wilde and the Wildcats, though pretty good is nowhere near as rare or as valuable as this original. See under Marty Wilde.

The disc is supplied in excellent condition and in an original Mercury company sleeve.

Now reduced to £16.00

COMPLAINTS AND REFUNDS

Ebay and all buyers please note: most of the item (s) for sale on my site are between 40 and 60 years old, but are in the best possible condition possible for their age. I play all “A” and many “B” sides on a 1960’s Monarch deck, to make sure they sound OK. If anyone should find a record is not as described, it will be replaced or refunded. It is more than possible that the defect could have been with the disc since it was pressed.

If you want feedback left for you (and I ALWAYS leave positive, as soon as I know the item has arrived safely and is satisfactory), first you must leave it for me. There have been far too many buyers across the Ebay Community receiving a full refund and then leaving negative or neutral feedback which is UNFAIR and ignored by Ebay.

All you need to do is contact HonestDave immediately for a full, no quibbles guarantee of a full 100% REFUND including all postage. DO NOT send defective items back unless specifically asked to do so – if the item isn’t good enough for you, then it certainly isn’t for me, so please dispose of it responsibly.

THE DISC (s) ON SALE and their COVERS

All records are checked for current value against the Record Collector Price Guide (soul records are also judged or John Manship’s Soul site which generally gives a more accurate price for that genre. (rarerecordpriceguide.com), (raresoulman.co.uk).

I use only the categories Very Good, VG+, EX (minus), Excellent and occasionally Near Mint as defined by Record Collector. Detailed information is obtained from the following highly recommended websites: 45cat.com, Discogs.com, Popsike.com, everyhit.com, officialcharts.com, and Wikipedia, (to which I contribute for the privilege).

Most records will be supplied in an original or replica Company sleeve, but if not a white sleeve will be included.

SPEED of OPERATIONS

Please don’t ask for fast delivery or complain about slow postage by me. I’m disabled, with an inoperable slipped disc touching on my spinal cord and the specialists have offered me very poor odds against surviving the operation. I post once a week (usually Thursdays), or when I can but am dependent on friends to assist. I cannot go any faster – I already do the very best I can. The record you get should be worth the wait.

U.K. POSTAGE and PACKAGING

Packages bound for Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Eastern Europe can only be sent by private courier firms because of continued “lost” i.e. stolen mail.
