NO CHEMISE PLEASE / GIRL OF MY DREAMS

LONDON (HL 8668) 

1958 

SLEEVE: COMES IN ORIGINAL BROWN PAPER SLEEVE IN VG+ CONDITION

RECORD CONDITION:

BOTH SIDES OF THIS RARE SHELLAC PRESSING ARE IN A SUPERB NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH BOTH SIDES LOOKING COMPLETELY UNMARKED. ABSOLUTELY NO NEEDLE MARKS, SCUFFS OR SCRATCHES ON THE SURFACES WHATSOEVER. THE SHELLAC RETAINS IT'S DEEP BLACK LUSTRE WITH NONE OF THE USUAL 'GREYING' TO THE GROOVES WHICH CAN OFTEN BE FOUND ON THESE OLD DISCS. IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THIS RECORD HAS ONLY HAD LIGHT USE. A REALLY TOP COPY. YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY THAN THIS ONE. ABOUT AS CLOSE TO MINT AS A 78RPM CAN GET

BOTH LABELS ARE SUPERB 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
