THE FALCONS - I FOUND YOUR LOVE / SWIM (Rare Promo, *Northern Soul* Original)

THE FALCONS -  I FOUND YOUR LOVE / SWIM  (Very Rare Promo,  Northern Soul Original )

A very early vocal outing for the late great Wilson Pickett, when he was part of the Falcons, along with Eddie Floyd, Mack Rice & Joe Stubbs.

The record I’m listing now, is the mega rare 1962 UK “Demonstration Sample - Not For Sale” Press, on London American Recordings  HLK 9565.  

You’ll notice that on this “promo”  press the title  was mistyped as “I Found Your Love” instead on “I Found A Love”.

Well looked after, since my Dad bought this one new as part of his small R&B collection, it’s still in excellent condition for a record that’s now  53 years old, with just a couple of light, surface marks. (See Pics)

This is a gem of a record, for anyone who appreciates very early Soul, and I’m listing it now with a low start of just £10.

 Hope It Finds A Good Home !!!!!

ROYAL MAIL POST STARTS TO GET VERY BUSY NOW, IN THE LEAD UP TO CHRISTMAS.  

AS I DON’T WANT TO RUN THE RISK OF HAVING ANY LOST OR LATE RECORDS, MY LAST AUCTION, UNTIL THE NEW YEAR, WILL TAKE PLACE ON SUNDAY 29TH NOV.

MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE BID ON MY RECORDS SINCE I STARTED LISTING BACK IN SEPT 2014.  HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR, AND I’LL BE BACK IN JAN 2016 WITH SOME MORE GREAT RECORDS FROM MY COLLECTION.

KIND REGARDS & KTF - (djon5478)

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


All the records I list are part of my very own personal collection, most of which were purchased new in the 60s and 70s and transferred straight away into card record sleeves, for added protection. I’m a private seller, not a record dealer.

Important Postal Information for UK Buyers

The high quality mailers I use can hold up to three records. I will therefore be happy to combine postage over the weekend auction period, with just a small supplement of 30p per record to cover the additional postage weight, but see notes below regarding the overall total value.

Records (single or combined) sold for up to £20 in total, will be sent by Standard First Class Mail, (With retained Proof of Posting)  

For total bids exceeding £20, your record(s) MUST be sent using the First Class Recorded (Signed for) option, so please wait for my invoice before paying.

All records with successful bids totalling over £50 will be sent by “Royal Mail Special Delivery” , with the guarantee of next day delivery before 1.00pm,  as a “FREE UPGRADE” TO THE “SIGNED FOR” RATE.

Thank You.

Record Packaging and Dispatch Details

All records will be securely posted out in brand new white card sleeves, using high quality, purpose-made, cardboard record mailers, within one working day, following confirmation of payment.   

RECORD HISTORY, DESCRIPTION AND GRADING

I bought all my records brand new, from reputable UK Record Shops, apart from some early imports which I bought new by Mail Order direct from the US.

All my records been looked after. They’ve been kept in card sleeves and stored upright in professional wooden record boxes, to prevent any damage.

My records have not been traded or passed from one person to another, like some offered for sale on EBay.

RECORD RELEASE DATE

I always try to include the record version/issue details in my listings to show whether the record is a genuine UK or US first issue, or a subsequent re-release.

RECORD GRADING EXPLANATION

Record grading is rather a subjective process and I appreciate that buyers’ expectations will differ.

I always try though, to give an accurate and honest description of all my records, which are now between 40-50 years old, using the definitions and explanations stated below.
 
In the unlikely event that you are unhappy with any of my gradings or descriptions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

NEAR-MINT  

The record has all the appearances of a new record with little sign of having been played. Both labels will be perfect unless otherwise stated.

EXCELLENT    

The record shows some minor signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Both labels will be perfect unless otherwise stated.

VERY GOOD   

The record has obviously been played a number of times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite some surface marks and/or the occasional light scratch. Both labels will be in excellent condition unless otherwise stated.


STYRENE RECORDS

Some of my early US import records are pressed on styrene rather than vinyl.

Styrene is generally less resilient than vinyl and is more prone to the occasional “pop and crackle”.  Please bear this in mind when bidding.  


PRICING

I don’t use inflated “Buy Now” options or set unrealistically high start prices.

Most of my Soul listings start with opening bid of just 99p, with no reserve, regardless of the likely higher value suggested by previous EBay sales or record valuation websites.  Occasionally though, I may list a more obscure, rare record with a higher starting figure, but it will still be much less than its suggested value.

Sometimes I get a good price and at other times the buyer gets a bargain, but that’s all part of the fun of EBay.

Q & A

If you have any questions or comments about any of my records, please feel free to contact me. Many Thanks.
