WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS WHICH HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN SAID.

FIRSTLY,THIS IS MY LAST SPARE COPY.

THIS ULTIMATE RELEASE BY FESTIVAL RECORDS IN AUSTRALIA IS UNIQUE IN THAT, IT IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IT WAS ISSUED IN.

THIS TRIPLE EP SET IS ON CORAL XL-31319 AND WAS RELEASED ON 9TH JULY 1964.

IT CONSISTS OF THREE EP'S EACH WITH FOUR (4) TRACKS SO A TOTAL OF TWELVE (12). STANDARD TRACKS.

I KNOW FOR A FACT, THERE WERE ONLY EVER 750 OF THESE ISSUED AND IT WAS PART OF FOURTEEN (14) SETS ISSUED BY FESTIVAL SOME OF THE OTHERS BEING BOBBY DARIN, BRENDA LEE AND JOHNNY O'KEEFE.

OF THE 750 ISSUED, 214 WERE RETURNED AS THEY DID NOT SELL AND WERE PULPED.

YES YOU READ CORRECTLY: PULPED

DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE OF THE UNIQUE RELEASES IN THE ANNALS OF BUDDY HOLLY MUSIC IN AUSTRALIA.

THE COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SIGNS OF AGEING (REFER SCAN. HAS A COUPLE OF MARKS ON THE BACK)

For grading purposes I play side one only of an EP or 45 (mainly the ‘A’ side) and a few tracks on side one of an LP.

I also grade records on a perceived appearance basis. I then combine them (playing and appearance) for an overall grading. I believe this to be the most effective way of grading records. Some records can look ordinary but they play well and vikky vika. If unhappy with my product in any way please contact me, Roddy Jordan by phone 02 66875339 or overseas 011 61 2 66875339 or by email: hollysbuddy1@bigpond.com or 18 Montwood Drive Lennox Head 2478 Australia and I will refund your money in full after I receive the product back.

PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE

       All vinyl listed on auction has been cleaned, played and visually inspected so that you may bid with confidence. Albums (LPs) and Extended Plays (EPs) are sent with the record outside of the cover and placed in an outer plastic sleeve (to prevent ring-wear) before safely packed.

       Where required, the sleeves have been cleaned with a secret formula to eradicate as much ring-wear and built up dirt as possible.

I use the English Record Collectors Magazine Guidelines for gradings as this appears to be the generally accepted term of reference with variances to + or minus. Below are grading scales.

GRADING DEFINITIONS FROM THE ENGLISH RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE

MINT (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just about playable, but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

THERE ARE VARIANCES + OR - TO THE ABOVE ASSESSMENTS.
