Record Label: FLIP

Record # `503

Titles: PEEPIN’ EYES b/w I’VE BEEN DECEIVED

Condition: NEW - STORE STOCK and has NEVER BEEN PLAYED

This great Rockabilly record was originally released on the Flip label out of Memphis, TN, on April 30, 1955.It wae soon thereafter released on Sun.

Today, that original Flip pressing is a rare and impossible to find collector’s item, The record here on auction is an old Reissue - Collector’s Pressing - Repro.

I have never before offered this record on eBay, and have just one copy, so there will be no second chance offers. If you want this record bid to win it.

====================

NOTE: If you were a member of any vocal group who recorded 50's style group harmony (Doo Wop) records in the 50's or early 60‘s, or if you are related to or know or knew any one who sang with such a group, please send us an email to Lysabe@yahoo.com as we would like to help document the membership of as many vocal groups as possible

==================

This record was pressed in very limited quantities a number of years ago solely for the relatively small Doo Wop collector's Market. Pressings generally did not exceed 500 copies and sometimes were even smaller. With the passing of time (often 34-35 years), the growth in the number of collectors, and the declining number of records available, the value of these records has grown significantly due to the laws of supply and demand. Today, these "reissues" (which were originally intended to make available on a more widespread basis, rare first pressings that had become impossible to find collectors' items) have become very hard to find collectors' items themselves. This may be your last chance to obtain this record at a reasonable price, or at any price at all. As stated above, these records are brand new, dealer or store stock, and have never been played. Sometimes fidelity of recordings may not be up to year 2009 standards, because, it must be remembered, many of these recordings were produced 45-55 (or more) years ago, and may have been reproduced from Masters that were not always in pristine condition. Some of the original masters for the original records themselves were produced on what today some might call primitive equipment, in "studios" that could have included a basement, or garage, as well as a professional studio. But for the true collector that all adds to the magic and honesty of these recordings. In a small number of instances, they may have even been recorded with some surface noise, even though records are brand new. This affects a very limited number of records, and is an accepted part of some of these old recordings. All records are New Dealer or Store Stock and have Never Been played, therefore I cannot tell you anything about surface noise (in the few cases where it exists) or about reversed labels (in the very, very few cases where that occurs.)

About Postal Insurance: Insurance protects you in the event that the Post Office does not safely deliver your package. We have mailed well over 4,000 records with only 6-7 losses in over 9 years. We pack very carefully, but the Post Office does occasionally lose or damage a package. Insurance is at your option, but if you elect not to Insure, we are not responsible for the safe arrival of your package. (IMPORTANT: By electing NOT to insure the mailing of the item, the buyer agrees that we are NOT liable in any way, for any package not safely delivered by the Post Office, or for any damage to the item incurred during its mailing. This acknowledgment supersedes any other agreement imposed by Paypal or eBay.)

BATCH MAILINGS: Any successful bidder may request that records from one week’s auctions be held until the following week (if they are bidding in the following week’s auctions), in order to combine mailings and save winning bidders a portion of the S & H fee.

HAVE A QUESTION? We will attempt to answer all questions promptly. If you have a question, e-mail it to us at LYSABE@YAHOO.COM - It is preferred that you send an e-mail direct, instead of using eBay's "Ask Seller a Question" option, as there have been times when questions asked thru "Ask Seller a Question" never reach us. Why this occurs is not known, so to ensure that we get your question, send it in a direct e-mail as stated above.
===========================

Note that if a scan of the item appears below, colors may be slightly off due to the scanning process. In rare instances, there may be a dark blue tint on the scan of the vinyl, and/or white colors may appear yellowed or have a blue tint. For some reason, silver print on a blue background yields a scan that is almost unreadable, but again this only occurs with silver print on a dark blue background such as those on the King or Jubilee labels. In no case is the scan as good as the actual product. Do not use the scan to determine if record is pressed on colored vinyl or if label color is in question. Instead, read the auction description: all records pressed on colored vinyl will be so noted, in the auction description captioned "Condition." In some cases, where we don't have a scan of the actual record on auction, we may substitute another similar looking record, on the same label, only to give you an idea of what the record on auction looks like (e.g., label, print style.) If you have any questions about the appearance of a record, please ask (LYSABE@YAHOO.COM) before bidding.
