SHELLEY MOORE "PORTRAIT OF SHELLEY"

A DELIGHTFUL GIRL SINGER IN THE JAZZ TINGED STYLE OF DEBBIE REYNOLDS/DORIS DAY/EARLY EYDIE GORME WITH A SMALL BRITISH JAZZ GROUP BACKING ASTRONOMICALLY RARE AND A VITAL ITEM FOR ANY STARLITE LABEL COLLECTOR!!!!

THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

WHERE IS THE BLUEBIRD

EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALL RIGHT NOW

GONE IS THE GUY

YOU'VE TIED ME UP 

THIS EP IS  IN SPLENDID CONDITION WITH THE QUIET,GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A COUPLE OF SURFACE MARKS AND SUPER CLEAN LABELS!

BRITISH JAZZ MUSICIANS INVOLVED ON THIS MEGA RARE EP ARE:

KEITH BIRD,IKE ISAACS,MARTIN SLAVIN,BILL POVEY,JIMMY BUCK,COLERIDGE GOODE AND WALTER HAYWARD 

In THE LATE 1950s Most UK record buyers for such  music were still buying 78s which are much easier to find than the EPs and of course most EPs of the 1950s were quickly damaged on the primitive and heavy equipment of the time!

From the collection of the former Esquire jazz label boss,Peter Newbrook who passed away just over a year ago.

I have been selling many of his carefully preserved records over the last year on ebay and you are welcome to trawl through my feedback to see more examples to prove the amazing quality of his collection!

IN 1957, THIS EP HAD MINIMAL PUBLICITY AND BARELY SOLD AND WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE AND IS VERY RARE 50+ YEARS ON!

IT IS QUITE PROBABLE THAT THE PRINT RUN FOR SUCH SPECIALIST MATERIAL WOULD BE ABOUT 500 COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!

DON'T FORGET HOW THE UK BUYERS WERE MAINLY GOING FOR WELL KNOWN ARTISTS ON THE MAJOR LABELS WITH STARLITE LABEL RELEASES VIRTUALLY IGNORED ON BRITISH RADIO AND THE MAJORITY OF RECORD SHOPS NOT STOCKING THEM,USUALLY OBTAINING THEM TO SPECIAL ORDER ONLY!

THIS IS NOT FICTION BUT FACT!

HOW MANY COPIES ACTUALLY SOLD OF THIS EP IS UNKNOWN BUT I AM CONFIDENT IT WOULD BE LESS THAN 50 AND OUT OF THOSE SOLD,HOW MANY SURVIVE OVER 50 YEARS LATER AND OF COURSE HOW MANY AS GOOD AS THIS ONE? A FEW OF YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE A COPY BUT I DARESAY IT IS NOT AS GOOD AS THIS ONE! 

STARLITE EP 1+GOLD PRINT AND THE TRIANGLE CENTRE FULLY INTACT+ THE PVC INNER BAG! 

THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSING WITH THE  LAMINATED PICTURE  COVER WITH  NO WRITING,NO REPAIRS,NO RIPS AND A TYPICALLY SEXY POSE BY SHELLEY AND AN IN DEPTH SLEEVE NOTE + THE BAND LINE UP!! 

 £10 STARTING PRICE AND FREE UK RECORDED DELIVERY POSTAGE INCLUDED!!!!

(FULL DETAILS BELOW)!!!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN OBSCURE 1950s GIRL SINGER EP THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

A 1ST EDITION WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND  53 YEARS ON AND AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY STARLITE LABEL OR 1950s MUSIC COLLECTER!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

THIS COPY HAS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME,NO CLICKS, JUMPS OR STICKS AND IS EASILY NEAR MINT CONDITION!

 IT IS BETTER THAN MANY COPIES THAT TURN UP,WHICH OF COURSE THEY DON'T EVER LIKE THIS ONE AND IT IS VERY STRICTLY GRADED. 

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE 1950s AND 1960s!!!            

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND THAT IS BEING STRICT!  

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear 1950s MUSIC and always will be!  

GREAT SOLID SOUND!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.  

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "MINT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.
