	£		301
	$		359

AN ORIGINAL MONO 1956 BRITISH ISSUED E.P. ON THE HIGHLY DESIRABLE VOGUE LABEL!

ONE OF THE MOST IN DEMAND AND HARDEST TO FIND EARLY DOO WOP/R&B EPs OF THE 1950s!

THE ONLY COPY TO BE SEEN ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN YEARS!!!!! 

"RHYTHM AND BLUES"

TWO TRACKS EACH BY THE DOO WOP GROUPS,THE DOMINOES AND THE SWALLOWS WHICH ARE AS FOLLOWS:

THE SWALLOWS:

ROLL,ROLL,PRETTY BABY+ IT AIN'T THE MEAT.

THE DOMINOES:

HAVE MERCY BABY+SIXTY MINUTE MAN 

FANTASTIC DOO WOP/R&B THAT IS THE VERY ROOTS OF ROCK AND ROLL AND THIS EP IS MEGA RARE(PRICE GUIDE MINT VALUE £320) AND IN SPLENDID CONDITION WITH THE WONDERFUL PICTURE COVER BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED AND SUPER CLEAN LABELS! 

In 1956 Most UK record buyers were buying singles and 78s which are much easier to find than the EPs and of course most EPs of the 1950s were more expensive and quickly damaged on the primitive and heavy equipment of the time!

From the collection of the former Esquire jazz label boss,Peter Newbrook who passed away just over a year ago.

I have been selling many of his carefully preserved records over the last year on ebay and you are welcome to trawl through my feedback to see more examples to prove the amazing quality of his collection!

I HAVE KEPT THIS EP FOR A WHILE IN MY OWN COLLECTION BUT HAVE DECIDED TO SELL IT WHICH I NO I SHALL REGRET LATER ON,BUT BILLS MUST BE PAID! 

IN 1956, THIS EP HAD MINIMAL PUBLICITY AND BARELY SOLD AND WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE AND IS RARE 50+ YEARS ON!

IT IS QUITE PROBABLE THAT THE PRINT RUN FOR SUCH SPECIALIST MATERIAL WOULD BE ABOUT 500 COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!

DON'T FORGET HOW THE UK BUYERS WERE MAINLY GOING FOR EASY LISTENING POP WITH DOO WOP/R&B VIRTUALLY IGNORED ON BRITISH RADIO AND THE MAJORITY OF RECORD SHOPS NOT STOCKING EXPENSIVE EPs OF THE GENRE,USUALLY OBTAINING THEM TO SPECIAL ORDER! THIS IS NOT FICTION BUT FACT!

HOW MANY COPIES ACTUALLY SOLD OF THIS EP IS UNKNOWN BUT I AM CONFIDENT IT WOULD BE LESS THAN 50 AND OUT OF THOSE SOLD,HOW MANY SURVIVE OVER 50 YEARS LATER AND OF COURSE HOW MANY AS GOOD AS THIS ONE? A FEW OF YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE A COPY BUT I DARESAY IT IS NOT AS GOOD AS THIS ONE! 

THIS COPY HAS NOT HAD MUCH USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,CLEAN LABELS AND CENTRE FULLY INTACT+THE ORIGINAL PVC INNER BAG,USUALLY MISSING!

THERE IS ONE MAJOR FAULT AS THE DISC HAS A RATHER LARGE WARP BUT PLAYS FINE AT 2 GRAMMES WITH NO AFFECTS TO THE SOUND.

THE MAJORITY OF EQUIPMENT IS SET AT THIS LEVEL AND IN MANY CASES A HIGHER WEIGHT BUT I HAVE TESTED THIS ON THREE DIFFERENT DECKS WITH NO PROBLEMS!

IF YOU HAVE TO HAVE 100%FLAT VINYL THEN DO NOT BID ON THIS ITEM BUT THIS IS REFLECTED IN THE £100 STARTING PRICE! IF THERE WAS NO WARP,THE START WOULD BE £250!!!

APART FROM THIS WARP, THERE ARE NO OTHER FAULTS AND ONLY TWO TINY,FAINT SURFACE MARKS-GLEAMING SURFACES! 

VOGUE EPV 1113.  1C/1C  MATRIXES

THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSING WITH THE CORRECT LAMINATED/GLOSSY PICTURE COVER WHICH HAS JUST A COUPLE OF TINY CREASES AT THE EDGES BUT THAT IS VERY MINIMAL. NO WRITING,NO REPAIRS,NO RIPS!! 

 £100 STARTING PRICE AND FREE UK SPECIAL DELIVERY POSTAGE INCLUDED!!!!

(FULL DETAILS BELOW)!!!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GREAT 1950s DOO WOP/R&B  EP-THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

A 1ST EDITION WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE(YES A GENUINE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ONCE MR.XXX!!!)TO FIND 54 YEARS ON AND AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY DOO WOP/R&B/EPs COLLECTION!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

THIS COPY HAS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME,NO CLICKS, JUMPS OR STICKS AND WOULD BE BORDERLINE NEAR MINT IF NOT FOR THE WARP AND SO IT HAS TO BE GRADED AS AN EXCELLENT CONDITION RECORD!

 IT IS BETTER THAN MANY COPIES THAT TURN UP AND IS STRICTLY GRADED. 

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 ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE 1950s AND 1960s!!!            

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THAT IS BEING STRICT!  

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear 1950s R&B/DOO WOP MUSIC and always will be!  

GREAT SOLID SOUND!

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

I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

SEE ALL OF THE PHOTOS  OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER-MOST ONLY SHOW THE FRONT,AS WELL AS BOTH LABELS! 

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often coral reissues 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 COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

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

ORIGINAL PICTURE SLEEVE.    

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS!
