ELVIS PRESLEY

BLUUE MOON / I DON'T CARE IF THE SUN DON'T SHINE

1956 U.K. HMV 7" SINGLE - CATALOGUE NUMBER: 45-POP 272

GOLD LABEL

Scarce first pressing of this Presley classic on the U.K. gold label HMV. The record is in excellent condition with very clean vinyl and still retaining a beautiful shine. Vinyl shows some very light and minor surface scuffs but not scratches or other marks. Plays well throughout with just a bit of light background dust noise. Both labels in top condition with bright and unrubbed gold lettering. Some minor light play lines around the spindle hole. No inscriptions. Four prong centre firmly anchored at all points. Graded as a very conservative EX. Supplied in original buff coloured HMV sleeve. Very nice item in highly collectable condition.

All records posted in new record mailers with two card inserts to ensure safe delivery

  IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING

Ebay have now changed the feedback procedure making it impossible for sellers to leave anything other than positive feedback whilst leaving buyers at liberty to leave feedback, fair or otherwise as they please. At a stroke Ebay have created what appears to be a buying environment of 100% perfect buyers. It is patently obvious that this does not reflect the reality. There is a very small, but now increasing minority of buyers who never communicate and leave payment to the last possible moment. In addition they rarely leave feedback for the seller. Despite the posting of ebay non payer alerts, so long as payment is eventually made, these people can continue to operate in this manner without fear of any penalties being imposed by Ebay or of possible neutral /negative feedback from the seller. This is totally unbalanced and makes a nonsense of the feedback system so far as the seller is concerned. It is equally important that sellers can identify time wasting and unreliable buyers as well as buyers being able to identify unprofessional & misleading conduct on the part of sellers. In response Firebird Records will now make the following buyer requirements:

ALL ITEMS MUST BE PAID FOR, IN FULL WITHIN SEVEN DAYS FROM END OF AUCTION. IF FOR ANY REASON THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE BIDDING

ANY BUYER NOT PAYING OR AT THE VERY LEAST RESPONDING WITHIN THIS PERIOD WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE ISSUED WITH A NON PAYING BIDDER ALERT

WINNERS WHO HAVE ALERTS ISSUED AGAINST THEM WILL NOW BE BARRED FROM ALL FUTURE AUCTIONS.

AS WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE IN THE PAST, PROMPT PAYMENT WILL ALWAYS BE ACKNOWLEDGED & FEEDBACK LEFT ON RECEIPT OF PAYMENT. FEEDBACK WILL NOT BE LEFT FOR SLOW PAYERS. WE REFUSE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT DESERVE IT.

WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO CARRY OVER ITEMS TO THE FOLLOWING AUCTION FOR PEOPLE WHO WISH TO CONTINUE BUYING AND THUS COMBINE ITEMS TO SAVE ON POSTAGE BUT PLEASE ADVISE US IN ADVANCE OF YOUR INTENTIONS. THIS WILL BE LIMITED TO TWO AUCTIONS. IF PAYMENT CANNOT BE MADE WITHIN THE REQUIRED TIME DUE TO HOLIDAYS OR WHATEVER, AGAIN PLEASE ADVISE US BEFORE BIDDING AND WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO ACCOMODATE YOU.

We apologise in advance to the great majority of buyers who pay promptly and are a pleasure to deal with and to whom these new requirements will make no difference. However we make no apologies to the small minority of people who abuse ebay protocol and can really only be classified as time consuming and are frankly people we would rather not deal with. If you feel you cannot comply with the above requirements please do not bid.

Would successful bidders please not use checkout but await receipt of invoice from Firebird Records before paying.

Please note Mailing rates to your area.Correct postage rates must be added on to the final auction price.

Pay me with PayPal.

I don't charge my buyers extra!
