Description
WELCOME AGAIN TO MY CONTINUING RECORD COLLECTION CLEAROUT. ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE BOTH VISUALLY AND AURALLY GRADED AND THESE COME WITH A FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY JUST LET ME KNOW.
I HAVE DECIDED THAT IT'S TIME TO SELL MY BELOVED 78 RPM COLLECTION. IT COVERS MANY LABELS AND GENRES FROM THE LATE 40s UP TO 1959 WHEN VINYL SINGLES WERE OUTSELLING SHELLAC DISCS IN HUGE QUANTITIES SO I HAVE SOME QUITE RARE ITEMS
POSTING THESE CAN BE QUITE TRICKY DUE TO THEIR DELICATE NATURE BUT I WILL BE USING DEEP, STRONG BOXES WITH STIFF CARD AND PLENTY OF PACKING PEANUTS TO MAKE SURE THEY GET TO YOU IN ONE PIECE. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT THE POSTAGE COST IS NOT JUST WHAT ROYAL MAIL CHARGE ME BUT ALSO THE COST OF ALL THE PACKING MATERIALS IN NEED TO BUY. I ALWAYS TRY TO KEEP POSTAGE COSTS TO A MINIMUM. POSTAGE DISCOUNTS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE AND I CAN 5 OR 6 SHELLAC RECORDS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE. IF YOU WISH TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL INVOICE YOU ACCORDINGLY.
POSTAGE WILL BE £4.95 FOR THE FIRST RECORD WITH DISCOUNTS FOR LARGER ORDERS. DUE TO RECENT POSTAL LOSSES ALL RECORDS WILL NOW BE SENT BY SIGNED FOR DELIVERY.
CONDITION WISE, MOST OF THESE ARE IN DECENT CONDITION WITH A LOT LOOKING NEAR MINT (RARE FOR SHELLAC DISCS). BECAUSE OF THE DEEP CUT NATURE OF THE GROOVES THE PLAYBACK QUALITY TENDS TO BE UNAFFECTED BY LIGHT SCRATCHES AND MARKS AND THESE ALL PLAY FINE. I WILL LIST THEM BY LABEL AND WILL ADD TO THE LIST AS TIME ALLOWS. SOME HAVE COMPANY SLEEVES, SOME HAVE PLAIN SLEEVES AND SOME HAVE WHITE CARD SLEEVES. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS
IN ORDER TO SPEED UP THE LISTINGS I WILL KEEP INFO TO A MINIMUM BUT, AS ALWAYS, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS , PLEASE ASK
