One of the rarest British issued Rock 'n' Roll LPs. Not a bad track on this 10"album  and it's desirability is well deserved. There are quite a lot of marks to the vinyl but no deep digs and the album plays through with no skips or mis tracking and relatively little actual background noise though there are quite a number of mainly light clicks. Apart from this no real deterioration to the sound quality. Vinyl still has a nice shine to it and does not appear to have been overplayed but is suffering from the normal sort of wear you would expect from a late Fifties record player and your average teenage handling. Sound is sharp and bright and played on my vintage Hi Fi system [Garrard 301/SME 3012/Shure V15MR/Quad valve amps] actually sounded a lot less noisy than when played on a much more modest 1960s "portable" record player. Green and gold Columbia labels both in excellent condition with no rubbing or play marks around the spindle hole with sample label to side 1. Graded as VG. Sleeve is complete but rather worn. There is a 3" split to the lower right hand side seam which has been neatly repaired on the inside. General wear to the edges with lamination creases to the spine but no other tears. Back complete with "half moon" flip backs in clean condition with some light chipping to lamination on entry side of the sleeve. No splits to flipbacks. Apart from the edge chipping  plus some chipping to the area of the bottom split,tha lamination is complete. Overall the sleeve is graded about VG. Pictures probably depict the sleeve in a slightly worse condition than it actually is. Record is still in it's original polythene lined inner sleeve. Truly rare item and an essential item for any Rock 'n' Roll collection.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING PAYMENT

Instances are still occuring where overseas buyers are making payment without checking the shipping costs to destinations outside of the U.K.While fast payment is much appreciated,the substantial difference in rates cannot be absorbed.We try to make shipping costs on each item as clear as possible and rates are quoted for all destinations on each listing.When payment is made via Paypal it is not adequate just to pay the balance via a second payment as Paypal make a further charge as if a separate transaction.This invariably seems to occur on small monetary value items and the charges become totally disproportionate to the cost of the item.If you are not sure of the shipping charges PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL AN INVOICE IS RECEIVED FROM FIREBIRD RECORDS.If incorrect payment is made we will have no alternative but to refund the total payment and request that the correct amount be paid.On several occasions recently where underpayment has occured,requests for additional payment have been ignored but despite this we have forwarded the goods.In future no items will be sent until correct single payment has been made.If no response is obtained within 7 days of request,the sale will be declared void and the item withdrawn from offer.Again we would apologise to the great majority of our ebay customers for having to restate this and who seem to have no problem reading and understanding our shipping costs.

We normally contact all successfull bidders at end of auction and generally invoice direct rather than using Ebay as this allows us to make alternative methods of posting much clearer especially with more valuable items.All items will be held for a maximum of 10 days after end of auction.If payment is not received within this period we reserve the right to withdraw or relist the item[s] and negative feedback/non paying bidder alerts may then be posted.If no contact is made by the winning bidder within 7 days from end of auction,a Non Paying Bidder Alert will automatically be posted.We are quite happy to hold items over if bidders wish to continue bidding in following auctions but please advise us accordingly.If there is a problem with making payment within the specified period [holidays etc] please advise us before bidding.Receipt of payment is always ackowledged and items are normally posted out within a maximum of 48 hours after payment.We do not post over weekends so there may be a slight delay where payments are received on Friday or Saturday.Regarding feedback,in the past we have always left feedback on receipt of payment.However due to the increasing number of members who in return seem incapable of observing this most basic of Ebay protocols,this policy is now under review.

Please note that items offered for auction on E-bay may be offered for sale by Firebird Records elsewhere and might be removed at any time so please bid early and sensibly.

Would successful bidders please not use checkout but await receipt of invoice from Firebird Records before paying.
