IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A NICE LONDON GOLD PRINT LABEL 45-THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

A LONDON GOLD PRINT LABEL 45 IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY UK 1950s 45s COLLECTION!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

THIS COPY HAS ONLY THE VERY SLIGHTEST OF SURFACE NOISE AND VERY CLEAN SURFACES-NO NASTY MARKS/SCUFFS etc !

TRIANGLE CENTRE FULLY INTACT 

IN THE MANY YEARS I HAVE BEEN A DEALER AND COLLECTOR,I HAVE NEVER LOCATED A COPY OF THIS TITLE BEFORE!

THIS ONE WOULD LOOK GREAT FRAMED UP!

JUST LOOK AT MY PHOTO!

A TOP LABEL TO ENJOY FOR HOURS WITH IT'S GOLD PRINT!  

AN ELITE ITEM FOR ANY RARE 45s COLLECTOR!

SUPERB CLEAN LABELS. 

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE!! 

DUE TO A LACK OF SPACE AND THE REALISATION THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO PLAY THE MAJORITY OF MY HUGE COLLECTION,I AM PRUNING DOWN SELECTED ITEMS.

DECCA PRESSED 1955 ORIGINAL 

LONDON 45 HL-U 8195.  

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN STRICTLY GRADED EXCELLENT++ CONDITION WITH A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT,TINY SURFACE MARKS IN STRONG LIGHT(COVER REMOVAL TYPE) AND A LITTLE FAINT SURFACE NOISE AT HIGH VOLUME.

NO CLICKS/NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO SWISHES!  

THESE 45s WERE USUALLY PLAYED A LOT AT PARTIES ON AUTOCHANGERS/HEAVY PICKUPS WITH DAMAGED STYLI OR BY DJs AND IN THE"ROUGH"WORLD OF"DJing"SO OFTEN LEFT OUT OF THE COVER,BADLY TREATED OR EVEN THROWN OUT AFTER USE!

IN 1955,HARDLY ANY BUYERS THOUGHT LONG TERM INVESTMENT AND OF COPURSE MOST WERE STICKING WITH THE MORE COMMON AND LESS DESIRABLE 78 RPM VERSIONS!!!!

The Mono mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

Vinyl is still the best way to hear 1950s EASY LISTENING POP and always will be!  

A FANTASTIC ITEM!

GREAT INVESTMENT FROM ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING RECORD EXPERTS! 

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is NO spindle wear.  

THE PRINT IS STILL CLEAR TO READ.

THE COVER IS IN FABULOUS ORDER:A FEW EDGE CREASES BUT NO STAINING/WEAR.

SOME MINOR WRITING.. 

NO NASTY SELLOTAPE REPAIRS,NO STAPLES,NO HOLE CUTS ETC.  

Look elsewhere on ebay and MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often FAKES,reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults.

USUALLY COPIES AVAILABLE AS HIGH PRICED BUY IT NOW DEALS! 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE "A"SIDE OF THE DISC IS IN A VERY STRONG,NEAR MINT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EXCELLENT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

AN OUTER PVC COVER WILL BE SUPPLIED AS WITH ALL MY RARE SINGLES AND EPs SOLD.

THE 45  WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE COVER BEFORE SENDING AND PLACED INSIDE A POLYLINED 7"SLEEVE!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTO!
