COULD THIS BE MAGIC b/w SUCH LOVIN'
EXCELLENT+++/VERY GOOD-/EXCELLENT CONDITION
1957 UK 7" single release LONDON (45-HL-U 8526) 45 rpm MONO
Recorded by GONE, New York
Matrices: MSCF-2115-1C/MSCF-2116-1C
Made in England
CONDITION: VINYL EXCELLENT+++ The unwarped vinyl is clean, bright and only lightly scuffed on the A Side. The B Side has a few clear but practically inaudible light surface marks. The sound quality on both sides is beautifully clear with no distortion and no intrusive surface noise. AMAZING! LABEL VERY GOOD- The three-prong tri-centre is strong and complete, although there is a clear surface blemish on the B Side. The grooved matt black labels have a white PX Stores 65 cents price sticker on the A Side covering the catalogue number but are otherwise clean and unmarked with pristine silver printing. SLEEVE EXCELLENT The blue and white lined London company die-cut paper sleeve has some light creasing but suffers from no folds, splits, tears or stains. There is a 1.5cm '6/72H' written on the rear of the sleeve in blue biro.
This is part of a larger collection of 1950s London singles that I currently have in stock in my shop in Farnham, and I am offering the more interesting copies for auction on eBay. The condition is generally excellent throughout. The singles were first purchased from an American Armed Forces PX Store by a GI stationed in the UK during the late fifties; in fact many copies still bear the original PX Stores 65 cents price stickers on their labels.
These singles were then given to the brother of an English girl from Brentford that the GI was "stepping out" with, mainly he suspects as a bribe for him to go upstairs to his bedroom and play them, rather than chaperone his big sister in the front room! The good news for us though is that the lad was more interested in football than rock'n'roll, so the records weren't played too much at the time. Hurrah for football!
ABOUT ME: If you haven't done business with me before my name is Andy Hibberd and I own a "bricks and mortar" secondhand record shop called 101 COLLECTORS RECORDS in Farnham, Surrey, about one hour out of central London. I deal in old and collectable vinyl, CDs, DVDs and memorabilia in all musical genres, as well as new releases and re-issues. Please feel free to get in touch if you need any further information about this item, if you have any questions about what's currently in stock, or if you have a collection for sale and need some advice.
All photographs are of the actual item offered for sale: I never use 'stock' pictures or re-use old photos of previously sold stock.
All items are listed for 10 days, running from Thursdays to Sundays. If you wish to leave a message, or ask a question, please try to do so before the last Sunday as I try not to be in front of my laptop on my day off. Also, I always let my auctions run their full course, so please do not contact me asking if the item can be sold early. Live a little, enjoy the thrill of bidding.
Payment may only be made in UK £ Sterling: I accept PayPal, UK personal cheques (with bank guarantee card details) and most credit/debit cards. I cannot accept cash payments unless they are offered in person upon collection or delivery.
I am always happy to receive any wants-lists, but file them carefully on little bits of paper under slightly larger bits of paper that aren't always quite where they should be. I will guarantee to find what you want within minutes of you a) finding it elsewhere, b) deciding you can live without Venezuelan Death Metal after all, or c) losing the will to live.
Despite that, all my vinyl is strictly graded using the Record Collector RRPG system, and all goods are properly protected and posted in strong, new Covers 33 packaging. Please recycle the packing cardboard if possible - it might just offset the damage done when the item was originally manufactured. Alternatively, throw it away and set fire to a couple of tyres.
If you are bidding, please read all descriptions fully and take the time to read my Postage and Packaging costs and my Returns Policy. Items selling for under £34 within the UK will be posted by the Royal Mail First Class service, while items selling for £34 or above will only be posted by the Special Delivery Next Day service, which will include insurance. Items selling for under £34 to customers abroad will be dispatched using the standard Airmail (Small Packets) service; for items selling at £34 or over I will only use the Royal Mail International Signed For service, which will also include insurance equal to the selling price. Certificates of Posting are obtained for all dispatched items without exception.
Please read my Feedback comments and look at my past sales: I am not an anonymous internet seller but a responsible and contactable UK record dealer. You can bid with confidence.
