THIS MEGA RARE 45 BY AUSTRALIAS OWN JOHNNY OKEEFE IS CALLED "REAL WILD CHILD/SHAKE BABY SHAKE" AND WAS RELEASED IN ENGLAND IN 1958 ON THE BLACK AND SILVER CORAL LABEL Q72330.

THIS SONG, OF COURSE, WAS ORIGINALLY PRESSED HERE IN AUSTRALIA AS "WILD ONE" ON JOKS FIRST LP AND AN EP. IT WAS NEVER RELEASED HERE IN AUSTRALIA ON A SINGLE!.

THE TIE IN WITH BUDDY HOLLY IS OKEEFE TOURED AUSTRALIA WITH HOLLY AND THE CRICKETS IN 1958 AND DURING THAT TIME JERRY ALLISON (THE DRUMMER WITH THE CRICKETS) LIKED THE SONG AND TOOK IT BACK TO CLOVIS AND RECORDED IT. THAT SONG CAME OUT AS "REAL WILD CHILD/OH YOU BEAUTIFUL DOLL" ON CORAL CK-3637 HERE IN AUSTRALIA ATTRIBUTED TO "IVAN" WHICH WAS, OF COURSE, JERRYS MIDDLE NAME.TRY AND FIND THAT MOTHER!!

IT IS HIGHLIGHTED BY A TOOL WHOM,  AFTER  HE WON AN ITEM JUST CONSTANTLY ARGUED WITH ME ABOUT MY CONDITIONS. I SET OUT MY CONDITONS (ALBEIT THEY MAY BE LONG) SO BOTH PARTIES KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. I SHOULD HAVE CANCELLED THE DEAL. I NOW EXPECT NEGATIVE FEEDBACK EVEN THOUGH I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG. 

Firstly, if you win this auction please do not pre-empt the amount of payment you need to send (including postage) before you hear from me.

I have three days to advise you but will normally do so within one.

Also refer the bottom of this advice and also read very carefully my Winners Congratulations Letter after you win.

 Please oh Please read them!

I make decisions on pricing my records based on the following:

1. Their perceived appearance.
2. Their sound quality.
3. If they are in their original sleeve as in some cases these are just as hard to find as the records such as Leedon, Down Under, Teen, Viking etc etc .
4. My knowledge, if any, of the records rarity.
5.  I use the English Record Collectors Magazines Guidelines for gradings as this appears to be the generally accepted term of reference.
6. If I price a record at a minimum bid of $8.50 then I am saying I am prepared to receive that minimum amount for that particular record in that auction based on the above criteria. Anything above that is a bonus.
7. However, when the auction is ended and the record attracts a top bid of $42.00, you then receive the record/records and they have been graded correctly based on the minimum amount originally stated please do not query my grading based on the final price paid i.e. the $42.00.
8. That then, becomes your responsibility as you had the choice and made the decision to pay up to 5 times the minimum I was prepared to accept.
9. Thank you for your understanding on this.
10. Please check my feedback if you have any doubts about my gradings
11. I expect Australian and New Zealand winners to pay within 8 days and overseas winners to pay within 21 days.

21. A 45 or EP is about $4.00 US overseas.
