BILLY FURY 10"LP"THE SOUND OF FURY"1962 UK DECCA PRESS

	£		49
	$		65

AN ORIGINAL MONO MIX 1962 PRESSED UK DECCA LABEL PRESSING OF THE BILLY FURY 1960 DEBUT LP"THE SOUND OF FURY"

 NOW BEFORE YOU ALL RUSH TO ADVISE ME I HAVE GOT IT WRONG AND IT SHOULD BE STATED 1960,LET ME INFORM YOU OF MY ATTENTION TO DETAIL WHICH WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS BILLY FURY COLLECTORS NOT GETTING AN INCORRECTLY DESCRIBED ITEM IN ANY POSSIBLE WAY!

NOT ALWAYS NOTICED BY COLLECTORS AND DEALERS IS THE COVER CODE IN SMALL PRINT AT THE BACK SIGNIFYING THE ACTUAL MONTH AND YEAR THAT THE COVER WAS PRINTED,ALTHOUGH OF COURSE IT IS SOMETIMES THE CASE THAT THE LP INSIDE IS FROM MONTHS OR EVEN YEARS BEFORE THAT DATE! IN THIS CASE THE CODING IS 10.62(OCTOBER 1962).DUE TO BILLY FURY'S POPULARITY,THIS LP DID REMAIN IN PRINT FOR A FEW YEARS AFTER IT'S DEBUT IN 1960 BUT IT IS STILL A RARE ITEM TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION AS A PRE-BEATLES ERA PRESSING-JUST ABOUT AS"LOVE ME DO"WAS A BRAND NEW RELEASE THE SAME MONTH AS THIS COVER WAS PRINTED!!! I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD HOW INFURIATED I AM ALONG WITH OTHER DEALERS AND COLLECTORS HOW AT LEAST ONE OTHER SELLER CONSTANTLY CLAIMS THAT EVERY ITEM WAS"IMMEDIATELY DELETED"WITHOUT ANY FIRM PROOF OR RESEARCH AND MERELY SALES PITCH WHEN ITEMS LIKE THIS ONE WERE CLEARLY AROUND FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS AFTER ISSUE AS OLD MASTER CATALOGUES CAN PROVE! MY AIM IS TO GUIDE AND ADVISE AS BEST AND AS HONESTLY AS I CAN TO ANY COLLECTOR,ESPECIALLY A YOUNGER OR OVERSEAS COLLECTOR WHO MAY NOT BE AWARE OF SUCH VARIATIONS AND ALSO LONG TERM COLLECTORS WHO IN SOME CASES ARE VERY INTERESTED IN SLIGHTLY LATER PRESSINGS, THAT MAY EVEN BE RARER THAN GENUINE AND I REPEAT GENUINE ORIGINAL 1960 ONES-SO BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE! 

THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

THAT'S LOVE

MY ADVICE

PHONE CALL

YOU DON'T KNOW

TURN MY BACK ON YOU

DON'T SAY IT'S OVER

SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE

IT'S YOU I NEED

ALL RIGHT, GOODBYE

DON'T LEAVE ME THIS WAY

*********************************************************

SO MUSICALLY IS IT IN ANY GOOD? YES! YES! YES! WITHOUT A DOUBT,IT IS THE CLOSEST A BRITISH ARTIST CAME TO RECREATING THE EARLY ELVIS SUN RECORDINGS WITH THE AMAZING CONFIDENCE AND MAJOR ADVANTAGE OF WRITING ALL THE SONGS ON THE ALBUM ,ALBEIT SOME UNDER THE PEN NAME OF WILBER WILBERFORCE!

NO OTHER BRITISH ARTIST WROTE ALL THE SONGS ON A ROCK AND ROLL LP,RELYING ON COVER VERSIONS OR OTHER BRITISH WRITERS.

ADD TO THAT DECCA'S BRILLIANT MICROPHONES,RECORDING TECHNIQUES AND EVEN RECORD VINYL MASTERING,THIS IS A RECORDING TRIUMPH IN EVERY WAY AND SHOULD BE IN THE COLLECTION OF ANY SERIOUS ROCK AND ROLL/BRITISH ROCK COLLECTOR.

BILLY FURY'S INFLUENCE IS IMMEASURABLE,EVEN TO SOME AMERICAN PERFORMERS,DESPITE HIS LACK OF SUCCESS IN THE USA,HIS RECORDS WERE VERY WELL RESPECTED WITHIN THE USA INDUSTRY.

IN THE UK,MORE RECENT ARTISTS SUCH AS MORRISEY OF THE SMITHS IS A MAJOR FAN AND SADLY THE RADIO STATIONS ONLY TEND TO PLAY THE BIG HIT BALLAD SINGLES WHICH WHILST ARE GREAT,DO NOT MATCH UP TO THE BRILLIANCE SHOWN ON THIS DEBUT LP,ISSUED AT A TIME WHEN EVEN CLIFF RICHARD AND ADAM FAITH WERE RECORDING LESS GENUINE ROCK AND ROLL TRACKS.

JOINING BILLY ARE JOE BROWN,ONE OF THE UKs BEST EVER GUITARISTS WHO LEARNT FROM HIS FRIEND EDDIE COCHRAN MANY "LICKS" AND"TRICKS"USED ON THIS LP,ALSO ANDY WHITE IS THE DRUMMER WHO WOULD PLAY DRUMS ON THE NON-RINGO VERSION OF THE BEATLES"LOVE ME DO"ALONGSIDE TOP PIANIST AND LATER RECORD PRODUCER REG GUEST,ALAN WEIGHELL,ELECTRIC BASS AND ACOUSTIC SLAP BASS PLAYED BY BILL STARK WHICH HELPED TO CREATE THAT AUTHENTIC SUN STYLE SOUND!

VOCAL BACKING GROUP THE FOUR JAYS BECAME THE FOURMOST WHO BEING FROM LIVERPOOL RECORDED AND HAD HITS WITH SEVERAL BEATLES SONGS(I'M IN LOVE/HELLO LITTLE GIRL) AND SO THERE ARE SEVERAL BEATLES CONNECTIONS ON THIS LP-DON'T FORGET BILLY FURY CAME FROM LIVERPOOL,A MAJOR STAR AT LEAST 3 YEARS BEFORE THE BEATLES HIT THE BRITISH CHARTS FOR THE FIRST TIME!

EVEN BRITISH ROCK AND ROLL DJ(AND ROCKING ERIC CUSTOMER!)MARK LAMAAR RATES THIS LP HIGHLY-MARK IS KNOWN FOR NOT LIKING AND PLAYING MUCH BRITISH ROCK AND ROLL ON HIS ESSENTIAL SHOWS!!!

NOTE THE COVER POSES FRONT AND BACK-BILLY WAS SO COOL AND THIS IS A PIECE OF BRITISH POP CULTURE-AN ITEM TO TREASURE AND ALTHOUGH NOT PRISTINE IS STILL A VERY DECENT COPY,IN MANY WAYS UNDERGRADED BUT THAT IS MY STYLE AND REPUTATION!

NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR EXCELLENT BUT FAR BETTER THAN VERY GOOD!

*************************************************************************  

 IN 1962 THE MAJORITY BOUGHT SINGLES,NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD THE MORE EXPENSIVE LPs WITH HARDLY ANY COPIES SURVIVING IN 2010, 48 YEARS LATER IN PLAYABLE CONDITION!

THIS ONE IS IN STRICTLY GRADED VERY GOOD+++++ CONDITION WITH SOME SLIGHT SURFACE MARKS,BUT NO DEEP MARKS AND NOT MUCH SURFACE NOISE AND IT HAS IT'S ORIGINAL PICTURE COVER WITH SOME CREASES AND MINOR WEAR BUT STILL VERY PRESENTABLE.

DECCA LF 1329-NOTE NOT THE LF-T REISSUE OF THE 1980s SO OFTEN PASSED OFF AS AN ORIGINAL! 2A/2A MATRIXES. 

REALLY NICE LABELS WITH NO WRITING. 

DECENT PRINT!   HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR!

APART FROM SOME SLIGHT SURFACE CRACKLE,A SHORT LIVED SEMI-FAINT CLICK AT THE START OF THE FIRST TRACK,IT PLAYS VERY NICELY WITH NO JUMPS OR STICKS WHICH ARE SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH THESE DELICATE AND 48 YEAR OLD ITEMS.   

GENERALLY THE SOUND IS VERY CLEAR AND THE ACTUAL SURFACE NOISE IS MINIMAL TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE AGE AND THE FACT THAT MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE UNPLAYABLE OR IF THEY ARE DO NOT GIVE A DECENT SOUND.

THE VINYL IS FLAT,NO WARPS OR DENTS! 

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS A NUMBER OF CREASES,A LITTLE LAMINATION PEELING AND A COUPLE OF TINY EDGE TEARS,NO REPAIRS OR MAJOR STAINING!!!

THE FLIPBACK HAS SLIGHTLY COME AWAY AT THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER BUT IS ALL THERE!

NOT A NASTY REPRO LIKE SO MANY AROUND!!!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY RARE BRITISH ROCK AND ROLL 10 INCH LP-

THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

AN EARLY 1ST EDITION WHICH WAS VERY LIMITED AND RARE TO FIND 48 YEARS ON AND AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY BILLY FURY COLLECTION!

IT IS MUCH, MUCH HARDER TO FIND THAN OTHER LPs OF THE ERA, WHICH  SOLD BETTER.  

IN 1960,SO OFTEN THE EQUIPMENT USED WOULD RUIN ANY DELICATE 33 RPM LP DISC WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS!!!

EVEN 78 RPM NEEDLES WERE SOMETIMES USED! 

IT IS MOSTLY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS-NO NASTY BIG AUTOCHANGER TYPE SCUFFS AND THE SOUND IS SPLENDID.

ON AN OLDER DECK OR THE USE OF A MONO FILTER SWITCH WOULD PROBABLY MAKE AN EVEN BIGGER DIFFERENCE!

YOU MIGHT HAVE A COPY BUT IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY NOT AS GOOD AS THIS ONE!

THIS COULD BE AN IDEAL MIX AND MATCH OPPORTUNITY!

MINT COPIES TEND TO FETCH AROUND £200 SO A £30 START FOR A VERY GOOD++++++ CONDITION COPY IS WELL WORTH GOING FOR!

DON'T FORGET THE SOUND OF THIS RECORD IS TESTED WITH VERY STRICT GRADING IN MIND!!

THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY DECENT ORIGINAL COPY ON EBAY AT THE MOMENT-JUST COMPARE WITH OTHER COPIES ADVERTISED,TOTALLY WRECKED, EVEN STATEMENTS ADMITTING MAJOR JUMPS AND NASTY DEEP CLICKS-SUCH COPIES ARE OF NO INTEREST TO SERIOUS COLLECTORS AND ACT AS MERE"BETTER THAN  NOTHING"GAP FILLERS!

MAKE NO MISTAKE,THIS IS A VERY GOOD++++ CONDITION EXAMPLE AND BEARING IN MIND IT'S SCARCITY IS FAR,FAR BETTER THAN MOST COPIES AND COVERS THAT YOU WILL SEE IN 2010 AND SOUNDS NEARER TO EXCELLENT! 

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE 1950s AND 1960s!!!           

Copies of this LP were being sold in tiny quantities and so how many survive IN PLAYABLE CONDITION??!!!!!!

MOST THAT TURN UP ARE TOTALLY WRECKED. 

In those early days with LIMITED exposure on Radio and TV, POP LPs were carefully considered and saved for items,many fans not getting THE TRACKS until they were reissued on other LPs much later in the 1970s and 1980s.  

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear BILLY FURY and always will be!  

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is HARDLY ANY spindle wear!!!

EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN HAS HAD SOME BUT THESE LABELS ARE QUITE STUNNING!!!!!! 

NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS VERY CLEAN  WITH NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS!

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of major faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN VERY GOOD++++++ CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EX"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS!
