A SUPERB ORIGINAL UK 1954 DECCA 1ST PRESSING USING THE GOLD PRINT LABEL 10" LP, IN NEAR MINT CONDITION!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE THE LATER SILVER PRINT REPRESSES FROM 1955 ONWARDS!

A GOLD PRINT COPY IN NEAR MINT CONDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN 2010!

THIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN IN NEARLY 40 YEARS OF COLLECTING! 

HARDLY ANY JAZZ FANS HAD LP DECKS IN 1954!

LF 1196 A MONO ONLY ISSUE. 1E/1E MATRIXES! 

9 TRACKS RECORDED IN 1954. 

A SUPER CLEAN COVER WITH JUST A LITTLE ULTRA FAINT STAINING AT THE BACK EDGES BUT IT REALLY WILL BE HARD TO BEAT AND IS IN AMAZING CONDITION FOR OVER 55 YEARS OLD.

THE FIRST DECENT COPY TO BE SEEN ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN MONTHS,MAYBE YEARS FROM A RELIABLE POWER SELLER AND LONG TERM COLLECTOR!

AN IDEAL UPGRADER COPY!!!!! 

THE DISC HAS A LITTLE,FAINT SURFACE NOISE BUT VERY CLEAN,GLEAMING SURFACES! 

  THE COVER HAS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS!

PLEASE SEE BOTH OF THE PHOTOS!  

OVER 55 YEARS LATER ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION,LET ALONE AS GOOD AS THIS ONE!

THE MAJORITY WERE PLAYED ON RADIOGRAMS,PORTABLE PLAYERS AND EVEN THE MOST CAREFUL FANS WOULD HAVE PLAYED THEM DOZENS OF TIMES,THIS LP HAS HAD HARDLY ANY PLAYS AT ALL!

*****************************************

FROM A RECENTLY PURCHASED COLLECTION OF TOP QUALITY RECORDS OWNED FROM A JAZZ FAN AND FORMER BOSS OF ESQUIRE RECORDS,THE LATE PETER NEWBROOK, WHO CARED FOR HIS VINYL AND EQUIPMENT AND STORED AWAY FROM LIGHT AND HEAT ON STURDY SHELVES FOR OVER 55 YEARS!

A  JAZZ COLLECTORS DREAM-PLEASE READ ON FOR IN DEPTH DETAILS!!

I HAVE NOT FOUND SUCH BREATHTAKING QUALITY FOR AN LP OF THIS VINTAGE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT TURNING UP AS FREQUENTLY AS THEY DID,EVEN FIVE YEARS AGO.MOST HAVE NOW LEFT THE UK FOR THE COLLECTIONS OF JAPAN,AMERICA AND THE FAR EAST NEVER TO RETURN TO THE SELLING MARKET.

THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET SUCH A BRILLIANT COPY LIKE THIS ONE IN SUPERB NEAR MINT CONDITION!

THE SURFACES GLEAM,NO FINGERPRINTS,PATCHES OR BAD STORAGE ISSUES,NO WARPING,NO SCUFFS,NO SCRATCHES,NO FADING etc.

PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTO OF THE BRIGHTNESS AND SHARPNESS OF THE LABEL AND THE COVER!

DON'T FORGET JUST HOW EXPENSIVE LPs WERE FOR THE AVERAGE BUYER.AN LP WAS USUALLY A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED PURCHASE OVER WEEKS AND EVEN MONTHS,WHICH EXPLAINS WHY SO FEW TURN UP.

THIS IS THE ONLY COPY I HAVE  SEEN IN YEARS.

CHECK OUT YOUR COPY IF YOU HAVE ONE-CAN YOU REALLY PUT UP WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE GOT AND WILL YOU REGRET IT LATER?

IF NOTHING ELSE THIS IS A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!

I AM SURE TO REGRET NOT KEEPING IT BUT THAT'S LIFE!

THE HOUSE IS FULL AS IT IS! 

THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A HI-FI BUFF.IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS RECORD TO APPEAR ON EBAY FOR YEARS DIRECT FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS A CONNOISEUR! 

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.

WHILST I AM IN THE BUSINESS TO SELL, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ITEMS I AM SELLING.

IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET SUCH AS EBAY, THIS IS GETTING RARE SO YOU CAN BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!

A VERY NICE  PRESSING!  

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH ONLY A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY GROOVE WEAR AND THAT IS BEING STRICT! 

NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO DISTORTION!

A COPY THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED ONLY A HANDFUL OF TIMES,POSSIBLY AS FEW AS 4-5 HAVING SPOKEN AT LENGTH TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS SON!!!!

Just how many were preserved like this one FROM A FUSSY RELIABLE COLLECTOR ??!!!!!!  

The MONO mixes are Superb and full of bass, with a natural warmth from those early LP days OF OVER  55 YEARS AGO!

In the 1950s, many were using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds at the time not aware that years later even the slightest damage would be evident on more sophisticated audio.

The 1950s equipment was quite often a bit basic and it was suggested to play LPs at between 5 and 8 grammes, which of course after a few plays would produce on later plays that nasty"film of fizzy distortion"so often IGNORED by sellers and in MY LISTENING GRADING is ALWAYS LISTENED OUT FOR WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND PLAYED TWICE TO ENSURE THE BEST AND MOST ACURATE GRADING!!!!

 To find SUPER copies all these years later is getting almost impossible!FACT!

THEY ARE SIMPLY DRYING UP! 

These mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear JAZZ and always will be!  

GREAT WIDE RANGE SOUND WITH GREAT BASS!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

There is NO spindle wear.  

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults.

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE AT ALL AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK! .

THE LP WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTO! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

HARDLY ANY  LPs OF THIS VINTAGE SELL FOR LESS AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD IT IS.DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT SELLS QUICKLY.
