Description

DESCRIPTION & CONDITION What a magnificent LP!! Every track is an absolute winner and considering this was Gene's debut album release back in 1956, it's an incredibly polished affair with a great mix of unhinged rockers and standard pop ballads. The musicianship is second-to-none and Gene's vocals have never been bettered by any other Rockabilly singer. This is a work of art. The cover is really solid and still looks terrific. It does have age-related marks but nothing terrible. No splits down the seams. The vinyl is scuffed and noisy in places but plays through like a charm.
POSTAGE DETAILS £4.50 1st Class registered WITHIN THE UK.

GENERAL INFO I've been collecting 1950's Rock 'n' Roll/Rockabilly and related records since I was a teenager in the 1980's. As all collectors will know, there's times when you end up with multiple copies of the same record and you never quite understand how that happened! So I've decided to sell off these duplicates and also some of my US records that I've acquired over the years as my passion is really UK 45's/EP's/LP's and anything by Eddie Cochran.
I much prefer to buy and therefore my eBay account is important to me. I'm not a record dealer and so these auctions will stop at some point in the near future as I will run out of records to sell!! I've only recently decided to sell on eBay and have only gone through a small part of my collection and already found loads of records that are surplice to my requirements, so please feel free to save me in your favourite sellers because if you're into Rock 'n' Roll/Rockabilly, I'm sure I'll be listing something of interest in the near future.
I'm quite agreeable to replying to messages if time allows but I travel a great deal and sometimes can't reply straight away. Please bare with me. I will try and be as fair as possible with my descriptions and you may find that some of these records play better than described. I certainly hope that's the case. I will definitely listen to all 45s and EPs that get listed and MOST LPs. I don't want anything leaving here that skips or sticks without being described with these problems. But if that is to happen, contact me immediately and I'll arrange return postage at my cost and a full refund, if need be. I'd suggest keeping the cardboard mailer the record came with for this purpose, as I've found that covering the mailer with white paper to hide previous address and postage details (stamps, etc) is a handy way of saving a few bob if records need to be returned. I will only post within the UK for the time being.   
PAYMENT DETAILS UK BIDDERS ONLY. PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE - NO OTHER FORMS OF PAYMENT ACCEPTED, SORRY! I will endeavour to post within 2 days of receiving money but as I travel a great deal there may be times this is impossible for me. If that happens, I will contact you but I expect that to be a rare occurrence!
My grading: MINT - UNPLAYED. EXCELLENT - LIGHT PLAY, LOW SURFACE NOISE IF ANY. VERY GOOD - OBVIOUSLY WELL PLAYED BUT STILL A LOVELY COPY, WILL HAVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF SURFACE NOISE IN PLACES AND MAYBE A TOUCH OF DISTORTION AT CERTAIN POINTS IN THE PLAYBACK. GOOD - PROBABLY STILL WORTH HAVING BUT A VERY WELL-PLAYED RECORD THAT PLAYS THROUGH WITH LOTS OF SURFACE NOISE BUT WITH NO SKIPS/STICKS. POOR - ONLY OF WORTH TO A COLLECTOR BECAUSE OF IT'S RARITY BUT WILL PLAY WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SURFACE NOISE AND MAY WELL SKIP/STICK. If I feel a record deserves a + sign next to it's grading, consider that a slightly better player than the grading describes.
