ATTENTION JOHNNY KIDD,BRITISH ROCK AND ROLL AND 1960s EPs COLLECTORS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1962 JOHNNY KIDD AND THE PIRATES E.P.-"JOHNNY KIDD" WHICH DESPITE INCLUDING THREE HIT SINGLES, THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ATTENTION OR SALES FOR THIS E.P. WHICH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY ALTHOUGH THIS ONE IS NOT UP TO MY USUAL HIGH STANDARD PLAYS THROUGH FINE AND AN IDEAL "GAPFILLER" UNTIL ANOTHER ONE COMES ALONG WHICH MAY NOT BE FOR A LONG TIME AS WELL AS LIKELY TO BE AN EXPENSIVE PURCHASE! AMAZINGLY IN HIS ALL TOO SHORT LIFETIME(HE DIED IN A CAR CRASH IN 1966) THERE WERE ONLY TWO EPs ISSUED AND NO LPs WHATSOEVER ALTHOUGH HIS INFLUENCE IS IMMEASURABLE.
ISSUED IN 1963(52 YEARS AGO!) ON THE EMI PRESSED HIS MASTER'S VOICE LABEL:7EG 8834 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES AND K T DEAD WAX TAX CREDITS AND THE K T RAISED PRINT TAX CODE ON THE SIDE 1 PUSH OUT CENTRE.
THE RECORD HAS QUITE A FEW LIGHT SURFACE MARKS WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE AND DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS HOWEVER THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS,JUMPS OR STICKS AND IT PLAYS THROUGH REALLY WELL! WOULD SOUND GREAT ON A 1960s BEAT/ROCK AND ROLL THEMED JUKEBOX.THE LABELS HAVE SOME SLIGHT WEAR BUT NO WRITING.
VISUALLY STRICTLY GRADED AS GOOD+++++++ CONDITION BUT THE SOUND IS BETTER THAN THAT GRADING AS IT PLAYS REALLY WELL AND MANY WOULD ACTUALLY STATE "VG" BUT REMEMBER THIS DEALER PLAYS THROUGH ALL HIS EBAY ITEMS TO ENSURE YOU GET A CAREFULLY AND HONESTLY GRADED DISC!
THE LAMINATED+FLIPBACK COVER HAS SOME SLIGHT STAINING AT THE BACK AND SOME ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES"1963" IN PEN BUT NO OTHER WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS AND STILL VERY PRESENTABLE. THERE IS A LOW,REALISTIC £10 STARTING PRICE FOR AN E.P. WHICH RARELY TURNS UP IN ANY CONDITION. MINT COPIES CAN FETCH OVER £50 ON THE RARE OCCASIONS THEY TURN UP!
REGULAR CUSTOMERS WILL KNOW THAT FOR MANY YEARS I HAVE STUCK TO FRIDAY NIGHTS TO END MY AUCTIONS FOR SINGLES/EPs AND MONDAY NIGHTS FOR LPs,HOWEVER AS I HAVE MANY INTERESTING AND IN MANY CASES,RARE SINGLES WAITING TO BE AUCTIONED,I HAVE DECIDED TO HAVE AN E.P. ONLY AUCTION NIGHT ENDING ON MY USUAL LP/MONDAY NIGHT(MARCH 16TH)SO BEAR THIS IN MIND IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON ANY OF THESE SCARCE RECORDS! THANK YOU!
