************************************************

FROM A RECENTLY PURCHASED COLLECTION OF TOP QUALITY  LPs OWNED FROM NEW BY A FORMER DECCA EMPLOYEE(HE HAD FRIENDS AT EMI)WHO HARDLY USED HIS LPs AND STORED AWAY FROM LIGHT AND HEAT IN A CUPBOARD FOR OVER 47 YEARS!

THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE  NOISE OR SIGNS OF USE.

NO CLEANING WAS NECESSARY! AMAZING!!! 

A JAZZ/BIG BAND COLLECTORS DREAM-PLEASE READ ON FOR IN DEPTH DETAILS!!

I HAVE NOT FOUND SUCH BREATHTAKING QUALITY FOR AN LP OF THIS VINTAGE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT TURNING UP AS FREQUENTLY AS THEY DID,EVEN FIVE YEARS AGO.MOST HAVE NOW LEFT THE UK FOR THE COLLECTIONS OF JAPAN,AMERICA AND THE FAR EAST NEVER TO RETURN TO THE SELLING MARKET.

THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET SUCH A  BRILLIANT LP LIKE THIS IN ALMOST AS NEW CONDITION!

NO CLEANING WAS NEEDED,THE SURFACES GLEAM,NO FINGERPRINTS,PATCHES OR BAD STORAGE ISSUES,NO WARPING,NO SCUFFS,NO SCRATCHES,NO FADING etc.

PLEASE LOOK AT BOTH OF THE PHOTO OF THE BRIGHTNESS AND SHARPNESS OF THE LABEL AND THE COVER!

NO WRITING,NO RIPS,NO SPILLAGES,NO STAINS,NO LAMINATION PEELING,NO CREASES.

EVEN THE HMV LPs INNER IS AS NEW AND VERY CLEAN!

DON'T FORGET JUST HOW EXPENSIVE STEREO LPs WERE FOR THE AVERAGE BUYER 47 YEARS AGO.AN LP WAS USUALLY A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED PURCHASE OVER WEEKS AND EVEN MONTHS,WHICH EXPLAINS WHY SO FEW TURN UP.

THOSE THAT DID WERE OFTEN SCARED OF HAVING THEM STOLEN OR BORROWED WITHOUT RETURN AND WOULD WRITE NAMES ON THE COVER-JUST COMPARE WITH ANY OTHER SIMILAR LPs ON EBAY(THAT IS IF THEY ARE PREPARED TO DISPLAY THE BACK OF THE COVERS)-THE MAJORITY HAVE WRITING,SELLOTAPE REPAIR OR WORSE STILL DRAWINGS AND DOODLES ADDED.

THIS IS ABOUT THE BEST COPY I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS AND YEARS.

CHECK OUT YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE-CAN YOU REALLY PUT UP WITH THE ONE  YOU HAVE GOT AND WILL YOU REGRET IT LATER?

IF NOTHING ELSE THIS IS A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!

I AM SURE TO REGRET NOT KEEPING IT BUT THAT'S LIFE!

THE HOUSE IS FULL AS IT IS! 

THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A HI-FI BUFF AND BEING AN ENGINEER AT DECCA WITH FRIENDS AT EMI HAD THE BENEFIT OF GETTING THE BEST AND INDEED IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS RECORD TO APPEAR ON EBAY FOR YEARS DIRECT FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME! 

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  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.

WHILST I AM IN THE BUSINESS TO SELL, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ITEMS I AM SELLING.

IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET SUCH AS EBAY, THESE ARE GETTING RARE SO YOU CAN BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!

VERY NICE THICK PRESSING!  

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS IS IN  NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER ,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY GROOVE WEAR AND THAT IS BEING STRICT! 

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

AN LP THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED ONLY A HANDFUL OF TIMES,POSSIBLY AS FEW AS 4-5 HAVING SPOKEN AT LENGTH TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER,SELLING DUE TO DOWNSIZING AND A HOUSE MOVE!!!!

Just how many were preserved like this one FROM A RELIABLE INDUSTRY SOURCE ??!!!!!!  

The STEREO mixes are Superb,Rich,warm and full of bass, with a natural warmth from those VERY EARLY STEREO LP days OF OVER 47 YEARS AGO!

In the EARLY 1960s, many were using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds at the time not aware that years later even the slightest damage would be evident on more sophisticated audio.

The EARLY 1960s equipment was quite often a bit basic and it was suggested to play LPs at between 5 and 8 grammes, which of course after a few plays would produce on later plays that nasty"film of fizzy distortion"so often IGNORED by sellers and in MY LISTENING GRADING is ALWAYS LISTENED OUT FOR WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND PLAYED TWICE TO ENSURE THE BEST AND MOST ACURATE GRADING!!!! 

 To find immaculate copies all these years later is getting almost impossible!FACT!

THEY ARE SIMPLY DRYING UP! 

These mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear COUNT BASIE and always will be!  

GREAT WIDE RANGE SOUND WITH GREAT BASS!

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

There is NO spindle wear.  

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

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 LP-EXAMINE YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE AT ALL AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE!!  

AN OUTER PVC COVER WILL BE SUPPLIED.

THE LP AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic  £10 STARTING price with no annoying reserve. 

HARDLY ANY  LPs OF THIS VINTAGE SELL FOR LESS AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THEY ARE.DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT SELLS QUICKLY.

DON'T LEAVE IT AND REGRET IT LATER!!!!!!!!!!!THIS MAY NOT BE REPEATED FOR A LONG TIME! 

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A SUPER AND RARE  LP. A GREAT INVESTMENT!
