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 COASTERS

YAKETY YAK / ZING! WENT THE STRINGS OF MY HEART

LONDON (HLE 8665) 

1958

SLEEVE: COMES IN ORIGINAL BROWN PAPER SLEEVE IN VG CONDITION

RECORD CONDITION:

BOTH SIDES OF THIS RARE SHELLAC PRESSING ARE IN EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION WITH JUST A LITTLE LIGHT SURFACE RUBBING AND A COUPLE OF TINY NEEDLE GRAZES. NO OBVIOUS SCRATCHES OR OTHER AUDIBLE MARKS ON THE SURFACES AT ALL. THE SHELLAC RETAINS A GOOD LUSTRE WITH JUST SOME LIGHT SIGNS OF USE. CLASSIC TRACKS FROM THE COASTERS.

BOTH LABELS ARE CLOSE TO EXCELLENT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE AND A LIGHT SCRATCH MARK ON THE 'A' SIDE

PLAYBACK IS EXCELLENT WITH NOTHING ON THE SHELLAC CAUSING ANY UNWANTED TICKS OR CLICKS. PLAYS THROUGH LOVELY ON BOTH SIDES. PLAYS THROUGH WITH STRONG DISTORTION FREE SOUND

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
