Description

TRULY IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, INDEED I WISH ALL MY US 45'S FROM THE 50'S WERE IN THIS CONDITION. IT LOOKS AS IF IT JUST CAME FROM THE STORE AND I DON'T OFTEN SAY THAT ABOUT MANY RECORDS. THIS LABEL/ RECORD WAS PRESSED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1956 TO 1960, IT HAS THE MATRIX NUMBERS STAMPED IN THE DEAD WAX IN THE PLAY OUT GROOVES. LABELS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO SPINDLE/ADAPTOR WEAR AND THE SILVERING ON THE LABELS ARE ALSO IN EXCELLENT NICK WITH NO SIGNS OF STICKERS OR UNEVEN WEAR. COMES WITH A PERIOD DECCA SLEEVE THAT HAS A COUPLE OF INTERNAL REPAIRS TO IT AND A LITTLE WEAR TO THE TOP EDGE. AS ORIGINAL SLEEVES ARE LIKE HENS TEETH I WILL INCLUDE A MODERN REPRO DECCA SLEEVE AS WELL.( SAME) REALLY A DISC IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH VERY LITTLE BACKGROUND NOISE, IT HAS THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT POP HERE AND THERE. IN MY OPINION HAS SEEN VERY LITTLE PLAY AS THE INTRO WAX HAS LITERALLY NO EVIDENCE OF STYLUS WEAR. AM USING A SHURE M44-7 WITH THE "HOT" WIRES CROSSED TO GIVE A MONO OUTPUT AND WOULD SUGGEST THIS BE PLAYED USING A MONO PICK-UP.
