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 OF MOST OF THESE.
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 TUNE ROCKERS
THE GREEN MOSQUITO / WARM UP
LONDON (HLT 8717) 
1958 
SLEEVE: COMES IN ORIGINAL PLAIN BROWN SLEEVE IN VG+ CONDITION

RECORD CONDITION:
BOTH SIDES OF THIS RARE SHELLAC PRESSING ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO VISIBLE MARKS WHATSOEVER ON EITHER SIDE. ABSOLUTELY NO NEEDLE MARKS, SCRATCHES OR OTHER AUDIBLE MARKS ON THE SURFACES WHATSOEVER. THE SHELLAC RETAINS IT'S DEEP BLACK LUSTRE WITH VERY LITTLE EVIDENCE OF PLAYING AND NONE OF THE 'GREY GROOVES' THAT ARE NORMALLY FOUND ON THESE DISCS.
RELEASED AT THE VERY END OF 1958, THIS SOLD FAR MORE COPIES AS A 45RPM AND AS SUCH, IS VERY RARE AS A 78RPM PRESSING
BOTH LABELS ARE SUPERB WITH NO OBVIOUS SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE
PLAYBACK IS SUPERB AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. NO CLICKS 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
