THIS IS THE SECOND ONE OF SOME INCREDIBLE STARLIGHT SINGLES I AM LISTING TODAY FROM HIS COLLECTION

                                  HAVING BEEN PLAYED JUST A FEW TIMES - WOW !!!!!!!!

ESQUIRE WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT LABELS FOR BRITISH JAZZ AND SKIFFLE IN THE 1950's

BUT THEY ALSO HAD SOME OTHER TINY LABEL OFFSHOOTS INCLUDING THE KEENLY SOUGHT AFTER

STARLIGHT LABEL THAT ISSUED SELECTIVE JAMAICAN PRODUCT !

HERE IS A RECORD THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN RARE BUT NOW 50 YEARS ON IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND

IN ANY CONDITION , LET ALONE AS GOOD AS THIS ONE !

PLAYED ONLY A FEW TIMES - OUTSTANDINGLY QUIET VINYL

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN UPGRADE / ULTIMATE COPY OR JUST A GOOD INVESTMENT - THEN THIS IS FOR YOU

THE RECORDS HISTORY - A RECORD SHOP BOUGHT,( FROM ESQUIRE HEADQUARTERS ) LOTS OF ESQUIRE RELATED JAZZ RECORDS AND LOTS OF STARLIGHT SINGLES & EP's WERE THROWN IN - DISCONTINUED STOCK - THESE STARLIGHT RECORDS WERE PUT UPSTAIRS AWAY FROM CUSTOMERS - EXCEPT SPECIAL FRIENDS ( MY MATE )
HE BOUGHT LOTS - PUT THEM AWAY FOR ANOTHER 20 + YEARS - AS A GENUINE COLLECTOR - ( HAS HAD MOST OF THE RARE LONDON'S ) - HE TOOK GREAT CARE OF THEM
SO NOW THEY ARE COMING TO ME

     A SKA/EARLY REGGAE RECORD COLLECTORS DREAM-PLEASE READ ON FOR IN DEPTH DETAILS !!

SKA WAS THE STYLE THAT INFLUENCED SO MANY PERFORMERS BUT IN 1960 ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF FANS EXISTED

FOR IT IN THE U.K.AND IN FACT MOST STARLIGHT 45's WERE SOLD ( OR ATTEMPTED TO BE SOLD ) IN VERY SMALL

SPECIALIST RECORD SHOPS

THE VERY FEW THAT WERE SOLD WERE PLAYED AT PARTIES ( BLUES PARTIES ) - I WENT TO A FEW - IN BIRMINGHAM

AND IF YOU DID FIND ANY THAT SURVIVED THEY WOULD NEVER BE AS GOOD AS THIS ONE BEING OFFERED ON EBAY TODAY.
