YEAR: 1957
CAT NO: RCA 1025
CONDITION (A/B SIDE): EX(+)/EX(+)
LABEL MARKS: NONE
OTHER INFO: A REALLY NICE COPY OF THIS RARE SHELLAC 78 RPM IN EX TO EX+ CONDITION. JUST THE ODD VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARK/RUB IS ALL THAT CAN BE SEEN ON THE GLEAMING SURFACES. THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES AT ALL. VERY HARD TO FIND DECENT COPIES OF ANY PRESLEY 78 AS THEY WERE USUALLY PLAYED TO DEATH ON OLD EQUIPMENT UTILISING HEAVY PICKUPS WITH THE SHELLAC REDUCED TO A DULL GREY. THEY WERE ALSO STACKED UP AND PLAYED ON AUTOCHANGERS WHERE THE RECORDS WERE ALLOWED TO RUB TOGETHER CAUSING LOTS OF SURFACE RUBBING. THIS COPY SEEMS TO HAVE ESCAPED ALL THAT AND IS STILL LOVELY AND SHINY WITH ABSOLUTELY MINIMAL MARKING.
I HAVE PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THIS RECORD AND IT PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH A STRONG SOUND AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM AN OLD 78. THE REPRODUCTION IS EXCELLENT WITH NOTHING IN THE WAY OF REPETITIVE POPS OR CLICKS. LABELS ARE NICE AND CLEAN WITH NO TEARS OR WRITING. A REALLY NICE COPY FOR YOUR COLLECTION.
DUE TO THE FRAGILE NATURE OF THESE RECORDS I WILL PACK THEM VERY CAREFULLY USING A DOUBLE BOX METHOD, HENCE THE HIGH POSTAGE COST. I WANT THEM TO REACH YOU IN ONE PIECE.
