BUDDY HOLLY RARE AUSSIE CHIRPING CRICKETS FIVE CATALOGUE NUMBER LP

	A$		90
	$		60

THIS LP IS CALLED "THE CHIRPING CRICKETS' AND FEATURES 'BUDDY HOLLY' AS LEAD SINGER AND RELEASE DATE WAS THE 8TH AUGUST 1961 AND WAS ISSUED HERE IN AUSTRALIA ON THE FIVE DIGIT CATALOGUE NUMBER BL-30446. CHECK THE NUMBER YOU HAVE FOLKS.

IT ALSO HAS 'STARRING BUDDY HOLLY' ON THE BACK SLEEVE.

IN AUGUST 1961 FESTIVAL RECORDS (MANUFACTURER AND DISTRIBUTOR) RE-CATALOGUED A LOT OF THEIR LP'S 

THUS:

 CORAL CL-7632 BECAME CL-30172

 CORAL CL-7634 BECAME CL-30417

CORAL CL-7650 BECAME CL-30426 AND

BRUNSWICK BL-8001 BECAME BL-30446 WHICH IS THE ONE WE ARE NOW DISCUSSING.

HOWEVER, FESTIVAL RECORDS DID NOT ACTUALLY ISSUE NEW RECORDS WITH THE NEW CATALOGUE NUMBERS AND COVERS. ALL THEY DID WAS OVERSTAMP THE EXISTING SLEEVES ON THE BACK (REFER SCAN) WHERE YOU CAN SEE BL-8001 HAS BEEN OVERSTAMPED WITH BL-30446.

THEY ARE OF COURSE LEGITIMATE RELEASES AND I GOTTA TELL YOU FOLKS THIS ONE HERE IS JUST SO HARD TO FIND. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE WITH THE COVER AND RECORD LABEL ALTERED TO REFLECT THE UPGRADE.

THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

OH BOY, NOT FADE AWAY, YOU'VE GOT LOVE, MAYBE BABY, IT TOO LATE, TELL ME HOW, THAT'LL BE THE DAY, I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO LOPVE, AN EMPTY CUP, SEND ME SOME LOVING, LAST NIGHT AND ROCK ME MY BABY.

THE SLEEVE IS IN VG+ CONDITION BUT DOES SHOW SIGNS OF AGEING ON THE BACK.

THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND CLEAR AND SHOW MINOR SIGNS OF PLAY.

THE RECORD IS IN VG+ CONDITION WITH A GREAT SHINE BUT HAS A QUCK JUMP ON THE TRACK 'I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE'

I HAVE PLAYED BOTH SIDES AND ALL EXCEPT FOR THE ONE MENTIONED ABOVE ARE CLEAN AND CLEAR.

The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

Where required, the sleeves have been cleaned with a secret formula to eradicate as much ring-wear and built up dirt as possible.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

If you win a record in one of my auctions that I have graded as VG this will not mean after I post said record, that it will UPGRADE itself to Minus Mint during the journey to your destination. If I have a minimum bid of say $29.95 that is all I expect to receive for the item BUT if you end up bidding $164.95 (which would be well over the minimum price I commenced with) that was your choice to pay that! Not Mine! Please take responsibility for your own actions on the original grading!

Do not make me your target for Buyers Remorse.

For grading purposes I play side one only of an EP or 45 (mainly the ‘A’ side) and a few tracks on side one of an LP and/or as long as it takes me to put the item on. The remainder of the grading is perceived visual.

I grade records on a perceived appearance/playing basis. I combine them (playing and appearance) for an overall grading. This means that the record may be Excellent but the cover VG+ but I will grade the overall as Vg++. I believe this to be the most effective way of grading both the record and the sleeve as a combined unit. Some records can look ordinary but they play well and vikky vika.

I am only talking legitimate reasons here.

PLEASE NOTE

I use the English Record Collectors Magazine for grading guidelines.

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks, the occasional click and the odd light scratch and/or surface marks. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading. Grading can be very subjective. Some sellers are very liberal with their grading, whereby, others like me, are very hard. I look at the vinyl, grade it then drop it by one grade. It has served me well for many years. Refer my feedback.
