TERRY SHANNON(PIANO)

LENNIE BUSH(BASS)

ALLAN GANLEY(DRUMS)

RECORDED AND ISSUED IN 1957 AT THE DECCA STUDIOS,WEST HAMPSTEAD,LONDON.

I HAVE NOT FOUND SUCH BREATHTAKING QUALITY FOR A TEMPO 45 OF THIS VINTAGE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT TURNING UP AS FREQUENTLY AS THEY DID,EVEN FIVE YEARS AGO.MOST HAVE NOW LEFT THE UK FOR THE COLLECTIONS OF JAPAN,AMERICA AND THE FAR EAST NEVER TO RETURN TO THE SELLING MARKET.

THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET SUCH AN IMPORTANT AND MUSICALLY BRILLIANT 45 LIKE THIS ONE IN ALMOST AS NEW CONDITION WITH THE TRIANGLE CENTRE FULLY INTACT!

NO CLEANING WAS NEEDED,THE SURFACES GLEAM,NO FINGERPRINTS,PATCHES OR BAD STORAGE ISSUES,NO WARPING,NO SCUFFS,NO SCRATCHES,NO FADING etc.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT"WISPY"COVER REMOVAL MARKS BUT THESE DO NOT SOUND.

PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTO OF THE BRIGHTNESS AND SHARPNESS OF THE LABEL.A SMALL PEN LINE UNDER THE "B"SIDE TITLE.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A HI-FI BUFF AND BEING AN ENGINEER AT DECCA HAD THE BENEFIT OF GETTING THE BEST AND INDEED IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS RECORD TO APPEAR ON EBAY FOR YEARS DIRECT FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME! 

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.

UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I AM IN MY MID FORTIES AND HAD THE ENCOURAGEMENT FROM EVEN MY PRE-SCHOOL AGE TO ENJOY ALL STYLES OF MUSIC FROM MY LATE FATHER, WHO WAS A RESPECTED MUSICIAN AND COLLECTOR OF CLASSICAL AND JAZZ MUSIC.

BY MY TEENAGE YEARS, ALTHOUGH LISTENING TO THE POP MUSIC OF THE 1970s, I TENDED TO ACTUALLY ENJOY JAZZ AND CLASSICAL MUSIC MORE.

I HAVE SINCE DEVELOPED A KNOWLEDGE OF IT AND ESPECIALLY KNOW THE VERSIONS THAT ARE REGARDED BY MANY AS THE BEST AND WHILST I AM IN THE BUSINESS TO SELL, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ITEMS I AM SELLING.

IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET SUCH AS EBAY, THIS IS GETTING RARE SO YOU CAN BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!

A VERY NICE PRESSING!  

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN  VERY NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER ,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY GROOVE WEAR AND THAT IS BEING STRICT! 

NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO DISTORTION!

A COPY THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED ONLY A HANDFUL OF TIMES,POSSIBLY AS FEW AS 4-5 HAVING SPOKEN AT LENGTH TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER,SELLING DUE TO DOWNSIZING AND A HOUSE MOVE!!!!

Just how many were preserved like this one FROM A RELIABLE INDUSTRY SOURCE ??!!!!!!  

The MONO ONLY mixes are Superb and full of bass, with a natural warmth from those VERY EARLY VINYL days OF OVER 50 YEARS AGO!

In the 1950s, many were using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds at the time not aware that years later even the slightest damage would be evident on more sophisticated audio.

The 1950s equipment was quite often a bit basic and it was suggested to play 45s at between 5 and 8 grammes, which of course after a few plays would produce on later plays that nasty"film of fizzy distortion"so often IGNORED by sellers and in MY LISTENING GRADING is ALWAYS LISTENED OUT FOR WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND PLAYED TWICE TO ENSURE THE BEST AND MOST ACURATE GRADING!!!! 

 To find immaculate copies all these years later is getting almost impossible!FACT!

THEY ARE SIMPLY DRYING UP! 

These mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear vintage BRITISH JAZZ music like this one and always will be!  

GREAT WIDE RANGE SOUND WITH GREAT BASS!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

There is NO spindle wear.  

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues,inferior USA issues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults.

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE AT ALL AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

ORIGINAL SLEEVE!!  

AN OUTER PVC COVER WILL BE SUPPLIED.

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTO! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

HARDLY ANY TEMPO 45s OF THIS VINTAGE SELL FOR LESS AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THEY ARE.DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF THERE IS FRANTIC BIDDING AT THE LAST MINUTE.

DON'T LEAVE IT AND REGRET IT LATER!!!!!!!!!!!THIS MAY NOT BE REPEATED FOR A LONG TIME! 

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A SUPER AND RARE 45. A GREAT INVESTMENT!
