IN 1959,HARDLY ANY BUYERS THOUGHT LONG TERM INVESTMENT!!!!
I have kept hold of several Rare Rock and roll 45s over the years but the time has come to thin down the collection AGAIN!
The Mono mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!
AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE "A"SIDE OF THE DISC IS IN A VERY STRONG,EXCELLENT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EXCELLENT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.
