HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY 'ONE OFF' WEDNESDAY NIGHT AUCTIONS (ENDING LATE WEDNESDAY 11TH MAY / EARLY THURSDAY 12TH!)!!!!
As many people may already know, I usually end all my items on Sunday nights (and these will still continue!)!!!! However as I had quite a few extra items of UTMOST RARITY come in to me this week (they really are TOP QUALITY, and NOT cheap overstock!) and completely ran out of time to list them last Sunday - I decided to do a 'one off' set of listings of Wednesday auctions ending on Wednesday 11st May!!!! So PLEASE NOTE that this auction will end late on Wednesday 11th May (and NOT Sunday!) - though of course, I will be putting more auctions on during the week for next Sundays auctions!!!! And please don’t forget take a look at my other auctions, as there really are some INCREDIBLE items listed!!!! Thanks for reading and please take a look at this AMAZING item below:-
On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Bill Black's Combo called "Lets Twist" and is an ORIGINAL 1961 UK MONO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press 'Grooved' London label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME RAREST LPs ON THE LONDON LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1961 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN THE UK - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL (EASILY THE RAREST LP ON THE UK LONDON LABEL!) - IS ITS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! AS MOST PEOPLE WILL ALREADY KNOW - MOST LPs ON THE LONDON LABEL HAD ABSOLUTELY APPALLING COVERS. MANY WERE MADE 'PAPER THIN' TO SAVE MONEY - AND CHEAP GLUE WAS OFTEN USED (RESULTING IN TAPE MARKS WHEN RE-FIXED BY PREVIOUS OWNERS). BUT LONDON'S 1 SAVING GRACE WAS THAT ON 99.9% OF LPs THEY LAMINATED OR FULLY LAMINATED THEIR COVERS - WHICH HELPED TO PROTECT THEM IN SOME WAY. HOWEVER - THIS WAS THE ONE EXCEPTION (FOR ALL 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP)!!!! FOR NOT ONLY WAS THE COVER FOR THIS LP MADE OF VERY THIN CARD - IT WAS INCREDIBLY LEFT COMPLETELY UNLAMINATED!!!! AND THIS WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA ON THIS LP - AS THE COVER WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY WHITE!!!! AND THIS HAS RESULTED IN 99% OF COPIES TODAY HAVING SEVERE YELLOWING, BAD GRUBBYNESS, SPLIT EDGES, AND MOST OFTEN RIPS & TEARS ASWELL!!!! BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!! THE ONE PREVIOUS OWNER ONLY EVER PLAYED THIS LP ONCE OR TWICE - AND THEN FILED IT AWAY IN A RECORD BOX NEVER TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN!!!! SO IT HAS REMAINED IN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION - AND IS EASILY THE ALL TIME RAREST LP ON THE UK LONDON TO EVER FIND LIKE THIS!!!! IT COULD EVEN BE THE BEST 1ST PRESSING LEFT IN EXISTENCE - AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE THAT COMES EVEN REMOATELY CLOSE TO THE CONDITION OF THIS ONE!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1961 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS 'GROOVED' LONDON LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'ROBERT STACE' FLIPBACK LAMINATED MONO COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL London UK MONO 1st Pressing from 1961 and is in SUPERB condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is HA-U 2427 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Grooved' London label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!!
The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in AWESOME condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 absolutely ULTRA faint 'bag sweat' traces (only under VERY bright light ONLY!), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AMAZING!!!! It is also GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!! The record plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Excellent++++ if not MINT(Minus)!!!! AWESOME RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Robert Stace' Flipback Laminated Cover is in SUPERB condition!!!! The cover NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear, NO splits, NO grubbyness AT ALL, barely ANY creases AT ALL (apart from 2 or 3 absolutely TINY ones in the EXTREME top left corner ONLY - and the cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO record impression, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is still beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the back of the cover is in SUPERB condition - with NO ringwear, barely ANY record impression AT ALL, NO sticker tears, NO grubbyness, NO sticker marks, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Excellent+ if not better - and it is VERY difficult to imagine a better one left in existence!!!! SUPERB COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

--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!
