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 OF MOST OF THESE.
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.
THE FONTANE SISTERS
CHANSON D'AMOUR (SONG OF LOVE) / COCOANUT GROVE
LONDON (HLD 8621)
1958
SLEEVE: COMES IN ORIGINAL BROWN COMPANY SLEEVE IN VG CONDITION
RECORD CONDITION:
SIDE ONE OF THIS RARE SHELLAC PRESSING IS IN A STRONG EX TO EX+ CONDITION WITH JUST ONE TINY SURFACE RUB AND A COUPLE OF TINY SURFACE MARKS. SIDE TWO IS NEAR MINT WITH NO OBVIOUS MARKS AT ALL. ABSOLUTELY NO SCRATCHES, SCUFFS OR SURFACE LINES ON THE SURFACES WHATSOEVER. THE SHELLAC RETAINS A DEEP BLACK LUSTRE WITH NONE OF THE 'GREY GROOVES' USUALLY FOUND ON THESE OLD DISCS. THERE IS JUST A VERY SMALL DULL PATCH AT THE VERY START OF EACH SIDE BUT THIS HAS NO EFFECT ON PLAYBACK. A LOVELY COPY OF THIS FONTANE SISTERS CLASSIC.
BOTH LABELS ARE EXCELLENT WITH NO OBVIOUS SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE.
PLAYBACK IS SUPERB AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. NO CLICKS, TICKS OR POPS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE. PLAYS THROUGH WITH STRONG DISTORTION FREE SOUND
OLD 1950s SHELLAC 78s HARDLY EVER COME ALONG IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION. YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY OF THIS RARITY ANYWHERE.
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
