Description
This week a SUPER RARE collection of 45s & LPs all ending on Friday night for a change! Really REALLY rare items - and very VERY hard to find indeed! Good luck if you decide to bid - and please read on about this AMAZING item below:-
RARITY:- SUPER RARE UK Calypso 78 on Melodisc. Barely ANY copies ever made in the first place (most people bought 45s in 1959!), and almost certainly less than 200-300 left in existence today!
POINT TO NOTE:- Incredibly the 1 previous owner had TWO COPIES of the same 78, despite its HUGE rarity! This is the first copy.
COUNTRY:- UK
FORMAT:- 78
MONO/STEREO:- MONO
PRESSING:- 1ST PRESSING
ARTIST:- THE SPARROW
TITLE:- GLORIA / CARNIVAL BOYCOTT
CAT NUMBER:- XX 10
LABEL:- KALYPSO
DATE:- 1959
SIGNS OF PLAY:- REGULAR
LABELS:- AS PICTURED
RECORD GRADING:- As I dont usually sell 78's (and they have different gradings!), I have consulted various 78 charts and will try to use these correctly!. Visually the record looks around 'V-'. It is essentially is the normal condition most 78s are found in, with some general rubbing /scuffing etc! However this 78 plays with a fair amount of surface noise, through the music is still well above it! So I think a grading of around 'G+' is correct here. It is also very VERY rare indeed, and the chances of ever finding another one - are virtually ZERO!
OTHER DETAILS:- None.
--ooOOoo--
Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!price rating
