THE ADLIBS - JOHNNY MY BOY (***RARE NORTHERN SOUL*** NEAR-MINT)
Originally recorded in 1965 and released in the US on Blue Cat Records, the record I’m listing now is the 1975 UK release on Contempo-Raries CS 9029.
The flip side is “The Boy From New York City”
Looked after since I bought it new and with very few spins, the record is in stunning near-mint condition, with perfect labels.
If you’ve been on the look-out for a pristine copy of this fabulous rare record, the look no further - This is the record for you and it’s up for grabs with low start of 99p, which obviously doesn’t reflect its true worth. So Happy Bidding and Good Luck!

All the records I list are part of my very own personal collection, purchased new in the 60s and 70s and transferred straight away into card record sleeves, for added protection. I’m a private seller, not a record dealer.
Important Postal Information for UK Buyers
The high quality mailers I use can hold up to three records. I will therefore be happy to combine postage over the weekend auction period , with just a small supplement of 30p per record to cover the additional postage weight, but see notes below regarding the overall total value.
Records (single or combined) sold for up to £20 in total, will be sent by Standard First Class Mail, (With retained Proof of Posting)
For total bids exceeding £20, your record(s) MUST be sent using the First Class Recorded (Signed for) option, so please wait for my invoice before paying. Thank You.
Record Packaging and Dispatch Details
All records will be securely posted out in brand new white card sleeves, using high quality cardboard record mailers, within one working day following confirmation of payment.
RECORD HISTORY, DESCRIPTION AND GRADINGS
I bought all my records brand new, from reputable Record Shops. They’ve all been looked after in card sleeves and stored upright in professional record boxes.
My records have not been traded or passed from one person to another, like some offered for sale on EBay.
RECORD RELEASE DATE
I always try to include the record version/issue details in my listings to show whether the record is a genuine UK or US first issue, or a subsequent re-release.
RECORD GRADING EXPLANATION
Record grading is rather a subjective process and what one person considers “excellent”, for example, could impress some and disappoint others.
I always try though, to give an accurate and honest description of all my records, which are now between 40-50 years old, using the definitions and explanations stated below.
In the unlikely event that you are unhappy with any of my gradings or descriptions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
NEAR-MINT
The record has all the appearances of a new record with little sign of having been played. Both labels will be perfect unless otherwise stated.
EXCELLENT
The record shows some minor signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Both labels will be perfect unless otherwise stated.
VERY GOOD
The record has obviously been played a number of times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite some surface marks and/or the occasional light scratch. Both labels will be in excellent condition unless otherwise stated.
STYRENE RECORDS
Some of my early US import records are pressed on styrene rather than vinyl.
Styrene is generally less resilient than vinyl and is more prone to the occasional “pop and crackle”. Please bear this in mind when bidding. All my imports have been well looked after though and most have had very few plays.
PRICING
I don’t use inflated “Buy Now” options or set unrealistically high start prices.
Most of my listings start with opening bid of 99p, regardless of the likely higher value suggested by previous EBay sales or record valuation websites. Occasionally though, I may list a rarer record with a higher start.
Sometimes I get a good price and at other times the buyer gets a bargain, but that’s all part of the fun of EBay and I think it’s fair to all.
Q & A
If you have any questions or comments about any of my records, please feel free to contact me. Many Thanks.
