ONE OF THE HARDEST TO FIND EPs ON THIS COLLECTABLE LABEL

JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE!

THE STRINGALONGS WERE AN INSTRUMENTAL GROUP INITIALLY PRODUCED BY NORMAN PETTY,WHO PRODUCED MOST OF BUDDY HOLLY'S BIGGEST HITS.

PETTY COMPOSED THE STRINGALONGS ONLY MAJOR HIT"WHEELS", A CLASSIC CASE OF PEOPLE BUYING THE RECORD FOR THE TUNE(UK#8/USA#3).

THE BAND WOULD HAVE TWO MORE MINOR USA TOP 50 HITS BUT NOTHING ELSE IN THE UK.

BY THE TIME THIS 2ND EP CAME OUT, OTHER INSTRUMENTAL ACTS WERE MORE POPULAR(THE SHADOWS/THE SPOTNICKS/DUANE EDDY etc etc)

SO GIVEN THE FACT THAT EPs WERE FAR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SINGLES AND THAT THIS EP HAD NO HIT SINGLES AND ONLY ONE TUNE WAS WELL KNOWN(MY BLUE HEAVEN)IT IS UNLIKELY MANY SHOPS WOULD BOTHER STOCKING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF COPIES OR INDEED ANY COPIES AT ALL!

AS FOR ACTUAL SALES,WELL I THINK THE LAST COPY I SAW WAS AT A RECORD FAIR, 10 YEARS AGO!

IN THE EARLY 1960s,MOST INSTRUMENTAL FANS WERE ONLY BUYING SINGLES AND INDEED EPs WERE AROUND TWICE THE PRICE OF SINGLES, USUALLY OUT OF THE BUDGET OF MANY TEENAGERS.

THOSE WHO DID BUY THEM WOULD GRIND THEM TO DEATH ON HEAVY RADIO GRAMS OF TINY PORTABLE PLAYERS THAT HAD INFREQUENTLY CHANGED STYLI!

SO OFTEN THE EPs WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN AT PARTIES-WHO WOULD HAVE BARELY PLAYED THEM AND KEPT THEM FOR OVER 45 YEARS STILL WITH THE ORIGINAL PVC INNER BAG-A GOOD SIGN OF THE DISC'S QUALITY!

IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH MINOR SURFACE MARKS AND MINOR SURFACE NOISE!

NO CLICKS/STICKS/JUMPS etc etc!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION HAVING BEEN PLAYED ON HEAVY PICKUPS OR STORED IN BAD WAY-THIS COPY IS IN VERY FINE SHAPE!!

YOU CAN EXPECT A DECENT ACURATE GRADED DISC FROM A FUSSY COLLECTOR/DEALER OF FAR TOO MANY YEARS EXPERIENCE!!

THE COVER HAS A FEW MINOR EDGE CREASES AND SOME STAINING AT THE BACK BUT HAS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS A RARE CHANCE TO SEE WHAT THE BAND LOOKED LIKE!!!!!!!!!.
