Description
I HAVE FOR SALE A BEAUTIFUL COPY OF SPEEDOO (SPEEDO) / WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN' GOING ON BY THE COMMODORES
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANYWHERE.
1956 RELEASE. LONDON RELEASE CAT NUMBER HLD 8251 - GOLD LABEL LETTERING
THE BACK STORY - A FEW YEARS AGO I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO OBTAIN A JOB LOT OF RARE DEMOS / SINGLES FROM THE YEARS 1956 / 1957. I PURCHASED THEM FROM A CHAP WHOS UNCLE USED TO WORK AT A RECORD COMPANY IN THE 50'S AND 60'S AND WAS ABLE TO GET ADVANCE COPIES OF RECORD RELEASES, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH HE NEVER PLAYED (THEY WENT STRAIGHT INTO STORAGE). I HAVE SOLD A NUMBER OF THESE RECORDS OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS AND EACH PURCHASER HAS BEEN MORE THAN DELIGHTED WITH THE ITEMS, IT'S UNLIKELY THAT ANY OF THE RECORDS I ACQUIRED AND SOLD WILL COME ON THE MARKET AGAIN IN THIS CONDITION.
THIS RECORD LOOKS PERFECT (AS YOU WILL SEE FROM THE PICS) ALTHOUGH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO ASCERTAIN IF A 60 YEAR OLD RECORD HAS EVER BEEN PLAYED I CAN CERTAINLY STATE THAT THIS IS A TRULY LOVELY COPY AND LOOKS NEAR PERFECT TO ME - I HAVE REFRAINED FROM PLAYING IT FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. IT COMES IN IT'S ORIGINAL BROWN SLEEVE (AS DID ALL THE RECORDS FROM THIS COLLECTION)
I HAVE NOT SEEN ANOTHER COPY OF THIS LONDON GOLD PRESSING COME UP FOR SALE EITHER PAST OR PRESENT ON EBAY, DISCOGS OR POPSIKE ALTHOUGH THERE IS A BIT OF CHATTER AND A SCAN OF THE RECORD AT 45CAT http://www.45cat.com/record/hld8251 IT'S CLEAR THAT THE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS RECORD IN THIS CONDITION IS LIKELY TO BE A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY.
• IN THE RRPG THE A SIDE IS LISTED AS SPEEDO AND THE AMERICAN COPIES SEEM TO BE PRESSED WITH THIS TITLE - THIS UK GOLD PRESSING SEEMS TO BE AN ANOMOLY WITH THE TITLE LISTED ON THE LABEL AS SPEEDOO - YOU CAN SEE SOME SAMPLES OF THE AMERICAN PRESSING ON POPSIKE http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=SPEEDO+COMMODORES&x=12&y=5
ABOUT ME! I'M AN AVID COLLECTOR OF VINYL AND HAVE BEEN FOR 40 PLUS YEARS, I HAVE BEEN TRADING ON EBAY FOR 13 YEARS WITH NEARLY 1500 POSITIVE FEEDBACKS, MAINLY FOR SELLING RARE VINYL. I OFFER A NO QUIBBLE GUARANTEE ON ANY ITEM, IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY RETURN FOR REFUND - NO PROBLEM AND NO QUESTIONS ASKED!! MANY OF THE DEMOS THAT I SOLD FROM THIS COLLECTION WERE EXAMINED IN PERSON BY THE EVENTUAL PURCHASER, I WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO OFFER ANY PERSONAL INSPECTION ON THIS RECORD AS I APPRECIATE IT REPRESENTS A SIZEABLE INVESTMENT.
ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK - I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE APPROPRIATE ENQUIRIES ABOUT THE PURCHASER BEFORE POSTING ANY ITEM OUT (TO PROTECT YOU AND ME) AND THE ITEM WILL BE DESPATCHED PROMPTLY TO THE WINNING BUYER. APPRPRIATE INSURANCE WILL BE TAKEN OUT
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
