HI THERE ALL, GREETING JAZZ FANS, HERE WE HAVE THE ORIGINAL DEEP GROOVE TAP 20 "PAL JIMMY" RECORDED IN 1958, ON TEMPO RECORDS.

TODAY IN 2012 RE-RELEASES ARE IN DEMAND! NEVER MIND HAVING THE OPTION & CHANCE TO PICK UP AN ORIGINAL COPY. PLEASE NOTE: THAT THIS IS NOT A RE-ISSUE, THIS COPY IS THE REAL DEAL ORIGINAL TAP 20 - FLIP-BACK COVER & TEMPO PRESS. VERY,VERY SELDOM SEEN ON OFFER. THIS HAS TO BE IN EVERY JAZZ OR SERIOUS RECORD COLLECTORS WANTS LIST. I'VE COUNTED ABOUT 10 IN OVER 10 YEARS THAT HAVE TURNED UP & SOLD. THUS THE RARITY IS EVEN MORE RELEVANT TODAY. 

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS A RESERVE PRICE SET FOR THIS ITEM.

AS THIS IS A VERY RARE RECORD, I WILL DO MY BEST TO GRADE EACH & EVERY PART IN A PERCENTAGE SCALE OF 100%.

I DO UNDERSTAND THE GRADING SYSTEM & SELL A LOT OF RECORDS TO A LOT OF HAPPY RETURNING CUSTOMERS, BUT MOSTLY ROCK GENRE. SO FOR SOME PEOPLE WHO MAY BE A NEW CUSTOMER? OR A COLLECTOR OF JAZZ, I HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO WRITE A GRADING. I USUALLY DO THIS ANYWAY, TIME PERMITING. AS FOR ME, AND YOURSELF ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO GET IT SPOT ON. ESPECIALY WITH VINYL. AND I NEVER SELL OR OFFER ANYTHING LESS THAN VG QUALITY.

FOR YOUR INFO BELOW, IS A RUNDOWN OF EACH PART OF THE RECORD, FROM THE COVER TO THE LABELS & INNER, RIGHT DOWN TO THE RECORD & THE VINYLS PLAYING CONDITION...

THE COVER IS THE FLIP BACK ORIGINAL OF COURSE, THERE ARE SLIGHT SIGNS OF AGE/WEAR ON THE FRONT AND BACK (BUT NOTHING TO DRASTIC) YOU CAN SEE IN THE CLOSE UP PHOTOGRAPHS PROVIDED BELOW THIS DESCRIPTION FOR YOURSELF.

THERE ARE NO HANDWRITTEN NAMES IN INK OR BIRO, NO RIPPING OF THE COVER FRONT OR BACK & NO LOOSING OF THE GLUE ON THE FLIP TABS. THE SPINE IS STILL INTACT, WITH SOME VERY SMALL SIGNS OF WEAR, A SMALL DUNT HERE AND THERE, BUT STILL CLEARLY READABLE WITH NO RIPPING OR TEARS. THE VERY NATURE OF THE MANUFACTURE IN THE COVER, WOULD BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A COPY WITHOUT SOME TYPE OF WEAR, ALL OF THIS IS VERY MINIMAL THANKFULLY, WITH THIS FACT (1958) WAS THE YEAR OF THE MAKING & PRINTING.

THE FRONT PICTURE OF THE ARTISTS REMAINS WITH SOME NICE GLOSS, STILL WITH SOME SHEEN & THE TITLE OF THE L.P. REMAINS INTACT WITH NO RIPPING AT THE CORNERS OR ON THE ACTUAL "PAL JIMMY" TITLE. THERE IS A LITTLE FRAYING AT THE OPENING ON THE SIDE, BUT NOT MUCH. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF SMOKE DAMAGE OR DAMP SMELLS ETC. I CAN CONFIDENTLY GIVE THIS COVER OVER ALL FRONT/BACK OUT OF 100% A GRADE OF 90%.

FOR THE DUST COVER - THIS ALSO REMAINS INTACT, BUT WITH (3) VERY SLIGHT TEARS TO THE TOP & SOME GENERAL AGE IN WEAR. NO HANDWRITING OF NAMES ETC. THE INSIDE OF THE DUST COVER HAS A PROTECTIVE POLY INNER, THIS STILL REMAINS INTACT & SECURED TO THE INSIDE, NO LOOSING OR TEARING, SO THE RECORD HAS NEVER BEEN "SHOVED" IN AND OUT OF THE INNER CARELESSLY, WHEN TAKEN OUT TO BE PLAYED. ITS ABOUT 85% PERFECT, PURELY DOWN TO THE ABOVE MENTIONED FACTS. STILL NICE TO HAVE THIS WITH THE ORIGINAL (I WILL ALSO PROVIDE AN EXTRA PLAIN WHITE DUST COVER) TO STORE THE RECORD IN IF SO PREFERED??

THE LABELS - ON THE -A- SIDE HAVE VERY LITTLE SIGN OF USE, MINIMAL SPINDLE WEAR, A FEW CAN BE SEEN UPON VERY CLOSE UP EXAMINATION. AND A VERY SMALL BIT OF WEAR TO THE CENTRE ON THE LEFT. CLEAN INTACT PURPLE & WHITE "TEMPO" PRINT. THERE ARE ALSO, NO HANDWRITTEN NAMES OR GRUBBYNESS. ONLY AS I SAY VERY SLIGHT SIGNS OF SPINDLE WEAR FROM THE CENTRE PIN HOLE OUT. THE -B- SIDE IS IN SLIGHTLY LESSER QUALITY (DOWN TO A PART OF STICKER RESIDUE) ON THE TEMPO FONT. THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE REMOVED? BUT I WOULD NEVER ATTEMPT TO DO SO MYSELF! IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING? THEN ITS WORTH A GO, OR I WOULD LEAVE THIS THE WAY IT IS. VERY SMALL MARK ON "MADE IN ENGLAND" AND A LITTLE BLACK SQUIGLLY LINE? ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE? (DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS). VERY SMALL PART OF AGE WEAR ON THE WHITE PART, BUT NOTHING TO SERIOUS, AND SOME SLIGHT SPINDLE MARKS, PLEASE SEE CLOSE UP PHOTOGRAPHS BELOW...OUT OF 100% THESE LABELS GET A GRADE OF SIDE -A- 90% SIDE -B- 85%

THE RECORD ITSELF - HAS NO CHIPS OR DENTS, THIS SITS PERFECTLY FLAT ON A TURNTABLE WITH NO SIGNS OF WARPING. THERE ARE NO HEAVY SCRATCHES OR MARKS, NO DUST IN THE GROOVES OR SIGNS OF "NEEDLE THRASHING" IT HAS BEEN HANDLED WITH CARE OBVIOUSLY, WHICH IS A POSITIVE THING.  

I HAVE INSPECTED THE RECORD UNDER DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS & UNDER INTENSE BRIGHT WHITE HALOGEN BULB. THERE ARE (UNDER THESE CONDITIONS ONLY) A GOOD FEW VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS OR HAIRLINES, WISPY WOULD BE A GOOD WORD TO DESCRIBE THESE. NOT THAT THEY HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON PLAY. ALSO THERE ARE SOME SIGNS OF (COVER WEAR STORAGE) CAUSED ONLY BY THE DUST INNER, BEST DESCRIBED AS PRESSURE/STORAGE MARKS. ANY ISSUES LISTED ARE MINIMAL & ONLY BECAUSE OF THE DUST INNER.

THE INNER DUST COVER HAS A POLYTHENE STYLE BAG ATTTACHED, AS STANDARD IN THESE RELEASES FROM TEMPO ETC. THE RECORD HAVING BEING STORED HERE, WOULD HAVE CAUSED THESE SLIGHT PRESSURE MARKS DOWN TO STORAGE CONDITIONS E.G. FLUX IN ROOM TEMP ETC. BUT I MUST STRESS THAT THESE CAN ONLY CAN BE SEEN AT A CERTAIN ANGLE, & ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. THE CONDITIONS THAT I HAVE EXAMINED & SCRUTINISED THEM UNDER PROPERLY. THERE IS NO REAL NEED FOR CONCERN HERE REALLY. THE ORIGINAL GLOSS STILL REMAINS ABOUT 90% & IS PURELY A VISUAL ISSUE IF ANYTHING TO MENTION AS A NEGATIVE. I'AM ONLY GIVING AN EXACT DESCRIPTION TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.

THE TEST PLAY - 

I HAVE PLAYED BOTH THE SIDES ON A QUALITY TURNTABLE/PICK-UP & PLAYED THE WHOLE RECORD VERY LOUD ON A TOP SYSTEM.

SIDE -A- FIRST TRACK "MY FUNNY VALENTINE" HAS A LITTLE BACKGROUND CRACKLE HERE AND THERE, AT THE VERY START. THIS IS A VERY QUIETLY PLAYED PART AS YOU WILL NO DOUBT BE AWARE. SO NOT A BIG DEAL, JUST WHAT YOU MIGHT EXPECT FROM A RECORD THATS BEEN PLAYED & IS NOW OVER 5 DECADES IN AGE!! AS THE TRACK RUNS INTO THE FIRST MINUTE, THESE MINOR CRACKLES/POPS DISSAPATE. LEAVING THE REST OF THIS FANTASTIC TRACK AND CONTINUING TRACKS OF THIS INCREDIBLE L.P. ON SIDE -A- TO PLAY VERY SOLID & NICELY. PLAY BETWEEN TRACKS, IS NICE & QUIET, RESULTING IN A VERY ENJOYABLE LISTEN. I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO SIDE -A- AS - 90%. THE OTHER 3 TRACKS PLAY WITH EASE, VERY NICE.

SIDE -B- PLAY IS ALSO ON A SCALE OF 100% A 90% GRADE. (IF YOU DON'T MIND THE AUTHENTIC SOUND OF A RECORD THEN YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED). IT HAS TO EXPECTED TO HEAR A LITTLE CRACKLE HERE AND THERE AS THIS IS AN ORIGINAL VINYL RECORD & NOT A CD. THIS IS POSSIBLY JUST STATIC BUILD UP? IF CLEANED WITH A PROFESSIONAL RECORD KIT, I WOULD RECKON THIS WOULD BENEFIT THE PLAY. ALL OF THE TRACKS PLAY VERY WELL, CLEAR AND LOUD, BEARING IN MIND THE OCCASIONAL STATIC CRACKLE OR MINOR POP, BUT FOR ONLY ONE SMALL ISSUE....

PLEASE NOTE : ON TRACK 3 - "PAL JIMMY" ABOUT 40 SECONDS IN TO PLAY THERE ARE ON A BASS SOLO PART, ABOUT 22 REVELOUTIONS OF AUDIBLE CONSECUTIVE CLICKS. THIS LASTS FOR  (30) SECONDS. THIS WOULD BE THE ONLY MAJOR ISSUE ON THE -B- SIDE. ITS A POINT TO MENTION, BUT NOT ONE TO DWELL ON. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT ITS A VERY, VERY QUIETLY PLAYED SOLO, AND THEREFORE RECOGNISABLE FOR THIS FACT ONLY. SO FINALLY SIDE -B- RECIEVES A 90% AUDIO PLAY ALSO. I FEEL THIS IS BEING PARTICULARLY CRITICAL ON MY PART REALLY & SHOULD NOT DOWNGRADE THE VERY ENJOYABLE LISTENING EXPERIANCE FOR ANY BUYER OF THIS INCREDIBLE RARITY. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND HOW RARE THIS L.P. ACTUALLY IS, AND BE PREPARED FOR THE ODD BIT OF BACKGROUND NOISE, WHETHER IT BE A SMALL POP! OR CLICK/TICK.

AN ORIGINAL TEMPO L.P. AND ALSO ULTRA RARE PART OF BRITISH JAZZ HISTORY & RIGHTFULLY SO. WITH ALL THIS SAID, I FEEL I'VE GIVEN THE BEST DESCRIPTION I COULD HAVE POSSIBLY GIVEN, AND WOULD HAVE PROVIDED SOME SOUND CLIPS, FOR YOU TO LISTEN ALONG TO ASWELL AS READING THIS, BUT HAVE AS YET TO INVEST IN SOME FOR THE FUTURE. AND WILL BE DOING SO VERY SOON.

I WILL INSURE THIS ITEM (PERHAPS IF THE BUYER WANTS TO ARRANGE AN ALTERNATIVE) AS IN A PRIVATE COURIER I WILL BE HAPPY TO OBLIGE (OTHER THAN BRITISH MAIL, P.O. SERVICE RECORDED AND SIGNED FOR DELIVERY, INTERNATIONAL OR DOMESTIC). PLEASE NOTE: I WILL NOT POST THIS RECORD UNLESS INSURED AND SIGNED FOR. AND BEST ADVISED FOR A COURIER TO ENSURE NO DAMAGE IN TRANSIT.

PLEASE NOTE:

I WILL ALSO NOT TAKE ANY RETURN ON THIS ITEM, AS I FEEL I HAVE GIVEN A VERY COMPLETE VALID RUNDOWN OF CONDITION WHICH IS IMPORTANT & FAIR TO BOTH PARTIES. ALSO I'VE TAKEN GREAT TIME AND CARE IN DOING SO. ALSO PURELY DOWN TO THE FACT... THAT I WOULDN'T LIKE THE THOUGHT OF THIS RECORD HAVING TO MAKE MORE THAN ONE TRIP OUT OF MY HANDS!! ITS SO RARE! AND INCREASES THE CHANCES (PERISH THE THOUGHT) OF IT BECOMING DAMAGED BY P.O. SERVICES. OR HEAVY HANDLING.. SURE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND. SO IF YOUR HAPPY WITH ALL I HAVE SAID? AND WOULD LOVE TO OWN THIS AND GIVE IT A HAPPY NEW HOME? THEN PLEASE GO AHEAD & PLACE A BID, BEST OF LUCK. THE COVER & ITS CONTENTS ARE NOW STORED IN A POLYTHENE COVER IN A SMOKE FREE ZONE.

I PACK ALL RECORDS IN A HARD CARD MAILER, BETWEEN 2 CARD STIFFENERS AND RECORD OUTSIDE THE COVER INSIDE A POLYTHENE PROTECTOR. I WILL PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL DUST COVER ALSO FOR TRANSIT, AS TO AVOID ANY SPLITS IN THE ORIGINAL. MAILER IS ALSO SEALED AT THE TOP WITH FRAGILE MARKED MASKING TAPE. I CAN IF THE BUYER WISHES, IN THIS CASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANY OTHER PARTICULAR TYPE OF PREFERED MAILER/METHOD OF POSTING? I'AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO OBLIGE, PLEASE JUST ASK. IT WOULD OBVIOUSLY TAKE ME A LITTLE LONGER THAN 3 DAYS DISPATCH TIME STATED IN MY DELIVERY, AS I WOULD NEED TO AWAIT DELIVERY OF SAID MAILER ESPECIALY. SO A ROUGH DISPATCH TIME OF (10) DAYS IF YOUR HAPPY ENOUGH TO WAIT, IF THIS IS THE WAY YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE THE ITEM PACKAGED AND POSTED.

I HOPE THIS IS A DESCRIPTION THAT WILL BE HELPFULL? IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECORD? THEN PLEASE CONTACT ME, AND IF I CAN? I WILL ANWSER THEM.

Mint (M) 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 condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX) 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 (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any moajor defects is acceptable

Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

Fair (F) 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.

Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler

CD's and CASSETTES As a general rule CD's and Cassettes either play perfectly - inwhich case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD's are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
