Description
Background
Over the next 12-18 months I’ll be selling off a massive collection of records (5000+) from a shop that shut it’s doors in the early 1980’s. The collection covers a period from the late 1960’s through to the time of the shop’s closure and includes large quantities of 60s/70’s rock, progressive and modern classical music. Most of the items are unplayed (or at most have sustained a single play) unless otherwise noted. You don’t get many opportunities to purchase unplayed 70’s shop stock anymore! This short paragraph of background information is included whenever an item has been sourced from this collection.
UNSOLD SHOP STOCK Original U.K. 1967 Direction 45 of The Locomotive’s ‘Broken Heart’ backed with a seminal cover of Dandy’s ‘Rudy – A Message To You’ (Catalogue Reference: Direction 58-3114). This apparently sold well but is not an easy one to find anymore presumably because it is wanted both by reggae/ska fans and psych/prog fans. This is conservatively graded as being in EXCELLENT+ condition. It has clearly only been played once and under a strong light I can count no more than a couple of hairline scratches. It is very close to be being as good as NEW! This 45 will also be supplied in the original DIRECTION sleeve, which are rarities in themselves. I don’t grade paper sleeves because I don’t see the point.
Concluding Remarks
This 45 basically appealed to the ska/reggae market (at the time) and is accordingly very hard to find in decent condition. You’ll never need to upgrade this copy. Please check my other auctions for further DIRECTION 45s and further items from the same source in similarly immaculate condition. Save me as a Favourite Seller because there is plenty more good stuff where this came from!
General Terms etc.
I endeavour to be accurate with all my grading. All items are graded under an intense light. I have been a collector for in excess of 15 years and I would describe myself as being conservative (I think my feed-back speaks for itself in this respect)! If you are not entirely happy with your purchase then contact me.
Payment is possible via Pay Pal and Personal Cheque. Payment is expected within 7 days of auction end unless otherwise agreed. Multiple purchases will be subject to reduced postage costs. Please contact me at the end of the auctions to confirm these costs. Please feel free to contact me if you want to discuss postage in advance of the auction’s end.
Overseas buyers are welcome. You don’t need to email me. So long as you can pay me efficiently (i.e. Pay Pal) and I can get the item to you then that is good enough for me. However, if you want me to investigate postage costs overseas in advance of auction end then let me know!
