Shadow Blues / Honey Hush - John Hampton - United - Coloured Vinyl.
A record with blues in the title in blue vinyl. Pretty apt and just darned pretty to.
A picture of both sides of a record. It must mean I cannot decide which side I like best. Let's start with John's original track Shadow Blues. The vocal leads well out in front with guitar snaking in and around his voice as the bass and drums propel the song along at a good fast pace. It is a real surprise that such great rockabilly came out on the Chicago label United. The flip is a take on the RnB classic Honey Hush which has minimal instrumentation and it seems John has minimal knowledge of the words. He makes up for this with enthusiasm and the band contribute as well as the usual guitar solo a drum solo and a bass solo. Listen below to both sides and choose a favourite.
Another coloured dated Mariano repro that I am selling. This is dated 1973.
Condition M-
I heavily collected rockabilly repros for many many years and contributed to the 1992 book "20 years of Rockin Repros". I am now slimming down the collection and selling off a lot of records which I bought new from dealers a long time ago.
There will be repros and reissues. I intend to list about 10 45s a week, so keep an eye out for rare repros in the weeks and months to come. I am confident I shall be offering some repros that have never been on e-bay before. (Although I have seen some being offered as originals.)
There is a lot of play made now days of repros made by Henry Mariano. I shall mention those that are "Mariano’s" as they have become known. It should be noted these were generally pressed in fairly large numbers and were easy to find. The non-"Mariano’s" of the same period are often of equal quality but were, and remain, much more difficult to find.
I will be happy to answer any questions and will consider ending an auction early for a good offer.
I post world wide. Postage must be paid on top of the winning bid and is £1.50 for each 45 in the UK, plus 50p per extra single. £2.50 per single for Europe, plus 50p per extra single and £3.50 per single for the rest of the world, plus 50p per extra single. This is for standard delivery via Royal Mail. I will obtain a proof of postage, if you require tracked or signed for postage the buyer will have to pay the extra cost.I am a record collector and know how to pack properly, I do reuse packaging just because it does not just grow on trees, well it does but trees shouldn't be wasted.
I have sold and bought a lot of stuff via e-bay over the years. I have had purchases go wrong but I have contacted the seller and normally we have come to an amicable agreement. In the massively unlikely event that there is a problem please contact me and I am sure we will be able to sort things out.
