Two Sides of
David McCallum

for Programming

Radio Station use

Side one is a sham interview with David MaCallum.  His voice is recorded but the interviewer's voice is not.  Instead,
a script is provided inside the gatefold cover that allows a station DJ to ask McCallum questions so that it appears that he is being
interviewed locally. The purpose is to promote his album "Music: It's Happening Now".

Side two consists of radio spot introductions by McCallum that are lead-ins to the news, sports, weather reports, station breaks,
stock reports, record play or a show plug. Their are many references to his spy personna from his television series.

This EP was recorded in 1964 when McCallum was at the height of his popularity due to his role as "Ilya" on the hit NBC spy
series THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.

the gatefold cover is intact with corner wear, a station note and minor foxing
the record plays through without skips but has pronounced surface noise
it is being offered due to it's rarity

Almost all records sold on ebay are rated visually.  While this is a useful process for obvious flaws, such as scratches and rubs, it fails to detect hidden sound problems.  What cannot be seen with the eye are tiny particles of dust and grit that are often lodged deep in the groove. These particles cause what is called 'crackle' which sounds somewhat like the sound frying bacon makes while cooking.  Normal cleaning methods will not dislodge the grit that causes this problem.  The only way then to accurately rate record quality, simply put, is to play it.  I am a low volume seller and take the time to thoroughly test the sound quality of records. All records up for sale are play tested. I strive for accurate description of sound quality.  

 Records are removed from the cover before packing to prevent seam splits during mailing. In the case of a single album, the record and cover are placed in a plastic sleeve. They are protected by the ample use of bubble wrap. If more than one album is won, the albums and records are tightly wrapped in cellophane to prevent shifting and are also protected by bubble wrap.  The outside of the package is clearly stamped as 'FRAGILE' and 'DO NOT BEND'

An additional individual album may be combined with minor additional shipping charges.  Shipping discount up to 4 records. Additional record purchases will be packaged and charged   separately with original mailing costs. This is due to limited record mailer depth. Record albums and books may not be combined for shipping due to their different configurations.
