THOMAS WAYNE
TRAGEDY / SATURDAY DATE
LONDON (HLU 8846)
1959
SLEEVE: COMES IN ORIGINAL BROWN PAPER SLEEVE IN VG CONDITION
RECORD CONDITION:
BOTH SIDES OF THIS RARE SHELLAC PRESSING ARE IN EX CONDITION WITH JUST THE ODD VERY LIGHT SURFACE TRACE / TINY RUB MARK AND JUST A COUPLE OF VERY SMALL LIGHT NEEDLE GRAZES ON THE 'B' SIDE WHICH ARE COMPLETELY INAUDIBLE. ABSOLUTELY NO OBVIOUS MARKS OR SCRATCHES ON THE SURFACES. THE SHELLAC RETAINS IT'S DEEP BLACK LUSTRE WITH NONE OF THE USUAL 'GREYING' TO THE GROOVES WHICH CAN OFTEN BE FOUND ON THESE OLD DISCS. HAS PROBABLY ONLY HAD LIGHT USE. A REALLY NICE COPY. YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY THAN THIS ONE.
BOTH LABELS ARE SUPERB WITH NO OBVIOUS SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE ALTHOUGH BOTH SIDES HAVE A FACTORY SAMPLE LABEL ATTACHED SO I AM ASSUMING THIS COPY WAS ONE OF THE VERY FIRST OFF THE PRESS.
PLAYBACK IS SUPERB AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. NO CLICKS OR POPS AT ALL ON EITHER SIDE. PLAYS THROUGH WITH STRONG DISTORTION FREE SOUND
OLD 1950s SHELLAC 78s HARDLY EVER COME ALONG IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION. YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY OF THIS RARITY ANYWHERE.
ALL RECORDS ARE SECURELY PACKED USING A PVC SLEEVE FOLLOWED BY LAYERS OF PACKING CARD. THIS IS THEN PLACED IN A DEEP BOX AND SURROUNDED BY PACKING PEANUTS. FINALLY THE BOX IS SECURELY TAPED UP BEFORE DISPATCH
AS A PRIVATE SELLER, POSTAGE WILL BE DETERMINED FOR ME BY EBAY SO IS OUT OF MY CONTROL. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS PLEASE LET ME KNOW
