This record shop poster would have been sent by the publicity department at Columbia Clef Records to record stores throughout the UK in the hope of creating record orders. The reality was that most store managers regarded the constant flow of publicity from the various record companies as junk mail and would simply throw most of it away. A few years ago we were fortunate enough to purchase a quantity of promotional publicity, much of which was unused, from an old fashioned record shop which had already been closed for many years and this item is from that collection.

CONDITION: Superb. Never used just stored for the last 55 years. The orange and mauve heading is as bold and vivid as when first printed and the paper as whte and bright as new. It was folded to fit the envelope when originally posted and these folds can be seen in the photo though when framed they will hardly notice, if at all.

POST AND PACKING: It will be folded along the original folds and packed safely between two pieces of stiff cardboard prior to posting.

UK: £2 which includes 79p for First Class Recorded Delivery postage and will require a signature upon delivery.

EUROPE: £6.45 which includes £4.95 for International Signed For postage and will require a signature upon delivery.

USA, JAPAN and Worldwide: £7.45 which includes £4.95 for International Signed For postage and will require a signature upon delivery.

COMBINED SHIPPING FOR MULTIPLE BUYERS: Postage will only be needed to be paid once for any amount of paper items won and posted in the same package - Please wait for invoice.

Any item bought on eBay from us can be collected in person at the shop and of course no P&P charges will be necessary. However the item must be paid for as soon as the item ends just as with any normal transaction requiring posting, and the postage will promptly be refunded through Paypal.
