Description
FROM MY OWN COLLECTION - AS ANY EDDIE COCHRAN FAN WILL KNOW THIS ITEM IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF EDDIE COCHRAN COLLECTING/RECORD MEMORABILIA!!!
IT IS BELIEVED ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES OF THIS BEAUTIFUL PICTURE SLEEVE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED WITH THE 7" VINYL RECORD, FOLLOWING WHICH THE DISC WAS ISSUED IN A STANDARD LIBERTY RECORDS COMPANY PAPER SLEEVE.
TO FIND ONE IN ANY CONDITION IS A VERY BIG ASK AS THEY ARE MADE OF SUCH THIN PAPER, SO ARE VERY FRAGILE AND HAVE NOT SURVIVED, LET ALONE ONE IN SUCH NICE CONDITION AS MINE - THE BEST I'VE SEEN - AND I'VE ONLY EVER SEEN TWO IN 50 YEARS!
THERE IS NOT ANOTHER COPY OF THIS PICTURE SLEEVE AVAILABLE FOR SALE ANYWHERE!
I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING EDDIE COCHRAN RECORDS AND MEMORABILIA FOR OVER 50 YEARS SO I KNOW WHAT I AM OFFERING - REST ASSURED THIS ITEM IS 100% GENUINE.
THIS IS AN INSANELY RARE ORIGINAL LIMITED EDITION EDDIE COCHRAN PAPER PICTURE SLEEVE WHICH WAS ISSUED BY USA LIBERTY RECORDS (Cat. no. LBY F-55070) IN MAY 1957 WITH EDDIE'S 7" 45 ENTITLED 'MEAN WHEN I'M MAD / ONE KISS'.
THIS PICTURE SLEEVE IS THE ONLY ONE ISSUED IN A 45 VINYL RECORD IN EDDIE'S LIFETIME AND HIS RAREST RELEASE.
THIS ONE HAS THE PATINA AN ORIGINAL 1957 THIN PAPER PICTURE SLEEVE SHOULD HAVE AND HAS BEEN CAREULLY LOOKED AFTER. THE FRONT COVER HAS THE CORRECT ORIGINAL 'LIGHT' FINISH WITH A YOUNG EDDIE'S FACE CLEARLY DETAILED AND ED'S SHIRT HAS A CLEARLY DEFINED LIGHT 'CHECK' PATTERN - NOT LIKE THE ONES YOU MAY COME ACROSS WITH EDDIE'S FACE LOOKING SO VERY DARK AND HIS CHECK SHIRT LOOKING AN ODD BLACK COLOUR. IMHO THESE ARE FAKES.
I AM INCLUDING WITH THE ORIG PICTURE SLEEVE AN ORIG LIBERTY 7" 45 VINYL RECORD (ALWAYS KEPT IT IN A SEPARATE PAPER SLEEVE!) BUT BE AWARE THE DISC HAS LITTLE VALUE AS IT IS THE PICTURE SLEEVE WHICH IS SO DESIRABLE. THE 45 IS EASILY SOURCED FROM THE USA BUT I AM HAPPY TO INCLUDE MINE!
SEE THE PICS, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE BUYING! ANY GLARE IS FROM CAMERA FLASH.
- THE 7" PAPER PICTURE SLEEVE (see all pics): VERY THIN PAPER AND NICELY PRESENTED, THIS COPY HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER SINCE 1957.
THERE ARE SIGNS OF LIGHT AGE/HANDLING, SOME VERY MINOR SURFACE RUBBING TO THE FRONT PICTURE, SOME LIGHT CREASING ALONG THE TOP OPENING EDGE + SOME RELATED LIGHT STAIN MARKS, AND A TINY 1/4" V-SHAPED NOTCH-TEAR THROUGH THE TOP OPENING EDGE AT MID-WIDTH. THE REAR SHOWS SOME LIGHT RINGWEAR RUBBING. THERE ARE NO SEAM SPLITS OR TEARS AND NO WRITING. I WOULD STRICTLY GRADE IT AS BEING IN VERY GOOD PLUS to EXCELLENT MINUS (VG+ to EX-) CONDITION.
- DISC (see pics): THIS IS INCLUDED FOR COMPLETENESS. IT SHOWS AGE AND A LOT OF PLAYWEAR WITH NUMEROUS FINE SCRATCHES BUT BOTH SIDES PLAY THROUGH VERY WELL WITH A BIT OF CRACKLE IN PLACES BUT NO SKIPS OR JUMPS etc. THE LABELS SHOW SOME RUBBING AND SOME GLUE/TAPE RESIDUE MARKS BUT THE TEXT REMAINS LEGIBLE. DISC STRICTLY GRADES AS GOOD PLUS TO VERY GOOD MINUS (G+ to VG-).
* DISC WILL BE PACKED IN A SEPARATE POLY LINED PLAIN PAPER COVER AND THE PICTURE SLEEVE AND THE DISC WILL EACH BE SEPARATELY HOUSED IN A PROTECTIVE PLASTIC COVER + LOTS OF CARDBOARD etc TO ENSURE VERY SECURE PACKING AND SAFE DELIVERY!
UK BUYERS - ROYAL MAIL 'GUARANTEED NEXT DAY SIGNED FOR TRACKED DELIVERY WITH COMPENSATION UP TO £2,500' IS £21.45 (at cost).
*I WILL DEFO NOT BE USING EBAY'S 'SIMPLE DELIVERY' AS COVER IS ONLY UP TO £20!!!!!
