Description
I HAVE FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL OFF MY 78RPM COLLECTION. OVER THE COMING MONTHS I WILL BE LISTING AN INTERESTING MIX OF RARE U.K. SHELLAC RECORDS. THESE WILL ALL BE AT SET SALE (BUY IT NOW) PRICES WHICH REFLECT NOT JUST THE RARITY OF THESE BUT ALSO THE OUTSTANDING CONDITION.
I HAVE ALWAYS STRIVED TO COLLECT THE VERY BEST CONDITION RECORDS POSSIBLE AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE FINEST FROM MY MANY DECADES OF COLLECTING.
MARTY WILDE
SEA OF LOVE / TEENAGE TEARS
PHILIPS (PB 959)
1959
SLEEVE: COMES IN ORIGINAL PHILIPS COMPANY SLEEVE IN VG+ CONDITION
RECORD CONDITION:
BOTH SIDES OF THIS RARE SHELLAC PRESSING ARE IN VG++/EX- CONDITION WITH JUST SOME LIGHT SURFACE RUBBING, THE ODD SURFACE LINE AND JUST THE ODD TINY INAUDIBLE SURFACE MARK. ABSOLUTELY NO AUDIBLE MARKS OR SCRATCHES ON THE SURFACES WHATSOEVER. THE SHELLAC RETAINS A GOOD LUSTRE WITH JUST LIGHT EVIDENCE OF PLAYING. THE RECORD HAS A VERY LIGHT LAZY EDGE WARP WHICH HAS NO EFFECT ON PLAYBACK AT ALL. TWO GREAT SIDES HERE FROM MARTY WILDE WHICH SOLD IN TINY QUANTITIES (MOST WERE ON 45RPM) AND IS SO HARD TO FIND ON 78.
BOTH LABELS ARE CLOSE TO EXCELLENT WITH JUST A HANDFUL OF FAINT SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE.
PLAYBACK IS EXCELLENT AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. NO CLICKS, TICKS OR POPS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE. PLAYS THROUGH WITH STRONG DISTORTION FREE SOUND.
RELEASED IN LATE 1959, THIS WAS ONE OF THE LAST PHILIPS 78s ISSUED IN THE U.K.
ALL RECORDS ARE SECURELY PACKED USING A PVC SLEEVE FOLLOWED BY LAYERS OF PACKING CARD. THIS IS THEN PLACED IN A DEEP BOX AND SURROUNDED BY PACKING PEANUTS. FINALLY THE BOX IS SECURELY TAPED UP BEFORE DISPATCH
AS A PRIVATE SELLER, POSTAGE WILL BE DETERMINED FOR ME BY EBAY SO IS OUT OF MY CONTROL. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS PLEASE LET ME KNOW
