Description
I have for sale a large number of Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly & The Crickets albums including first UK and US Pressings and rarities. They have some provenance in that they were all owned by Tony Prince - the former Radio Luxemburg (amongst many other stations) D.J. Please take a look at my other auctions.
Artist: Buddy Holly
Title: The Complete Buddy Holly
Label: MCA Coral
Cat: CDMSP 807
Year: 1979 First Press Factory Sample
Vinyl Condition: NM. Please read the commentary below carefully.
Sleeve Condition: EX
Label Condition: NM
Notes/Description: The vinyl is in superb condition - 5 of the records clearly have never been played and only Record 1 has any evidence of being played with two faint hairlines. It is a Factory Sample and clearly a mistake was made by the distributor because there are two of Record 5 and no Record 4 - judging by the lack of handling of the whole thing I'm 80% sure this must have happened at the factory/distributor end. I haven't play tested because they are so obviously unplayed and many would claim Mint. It comes with a 60 page book - "A Pictorial Account of His Life and Music" and the book also looks like its never been touched. Each of the records is housed in a picture sleeve and all six are in NM condition. The box itself is in EX condition - it has the small shop sticker front top left but other than that is NM. The starting price reflects the mix up with Records 4 and 5. The whole thing weighs over 2kg so the postage costs reflect that, I'm afraid so I will send 2nd Class Signed to keep the costs down.
All albums have been play tested on my Pro-ject Debut III with Ortofon cartridge.
I will happily combine postage costs - if buying more than one album please wait for an invoice before paying. Please see my other listings.
