Description
I HAVE FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL OFF MY 78RPM COLLECTION. OVER THE COMING MONTHS I WILL BE LISTING AN INTERESTING MIX OF RARE U.K. SHELLAC RECORDS. THESE WILL ALL BE AT SET SALE (BUY IT NOW) PRICES WHICH REFLECT NOT JUST THE RARITY OF THESE BUT ALSO THE OUTSTANDING CONDITION.
I HAVE ALWAYS STRIVED TO COLLECT THE VERY BEST CONDITION RECORDS POSSIBLE AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE FINEST FROM MY MANY DECADES OF COLLECTING.
THE JODIMARS
MIDNIGHT / CLARABELLA
CAPITOL (CL 14663)
1956
SLEEVE: COMES IN ORIGINAL CAPITOL COMPANY SLEEVE IN VG+ CONDITION
RECORD CONDITION:
OVERALL, BOTH SIDES OF THIS RARE SHELLAC PRESSING ARE IN EX+ CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY TINY MARKS ON THE 'A' SIDE WHICH CAUSE A BACKGROUND TICK FOR ABOUT HALF A DOZEN REVOLUTIONS BUT THAT'S IT. ABSOLUTELY NO SCUFFS, SCRATCHES OR OTHER AUDIBLE MARKS ON THE SURFACES WHATSOEVER. THE SHELLAC RETAINS A LOVELY BLACK LUSTRE WITH NONE OF THE 'GREY GROOVES' USUALLY SEEN ON THESE OLD SHELLAC PRESSINGS. THE DISC HAS A VERY FAINT EDGE WARP BUT THIS HAS NO EFFECT ON PLAYBACK AT ALL. GRADED OVERALL AS EX BUT A REALLY CLEAN COPY.
BOTH LABELS ARE EXCELLENT WITH NO OBVIOUS SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE
PLAYBACK IS EXCELLENT AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. APART FROM THE COUPLE OF TINY MARKS MENTIONED ABOVE THE ARE NO CLICKS, TICKS OR POPS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE. PLAYS THROUGH WITH STRONG DISTORTION FREE SOUND
OLD 1950s SHELLAC 78s HARDLY EVER COME ALONG IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION. YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY OF THIS RARITY ANYWHERE.
ALL RECORDS ARE SECURELY PACKED USING A PVC SLEEVE FOLLOWED BY LAYERS OF PACKING CARD. THIS IS THEN PLACED IN A DEEP BOX AND SURROUNDED BY PACKING PEANUTS. FINALLY THE BOX IS SECURELY TAPED UP BEFORE DISPATCH
AS A PRIVATE SELLER, POSTAGE WILL BE DETERMINED FOR ME BY EBAY SO IS OUT OF MY CONTROL. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS PLEASE LET ME KNOW
