MICKEY & SYLVIA # 11 1957 R&R 78 Love Is Strange (great playing V+ to E-) Vik X 0252 (Canadian) MICKEY & SYLVIA Love Is Strange/I’m Goin’ Home
Here's a good one - sultry Sylvia vocals, stinging Micky Baker guitar. # 11, January, 1957. A rock and roll classic. It's been many, many years since I've had a copy of this one to offer on eBay. Good luck.

This rock and roll classic visually grades a nice strong V+ to E- with several surface scuffs, rubs and a few very light surface scratches. Better heard than seen!.
The grooves are in good shape though. Spot-checked thoroughly. The disc plays nice and LOUD for the grade. Faint china marker marks on A-side label, small address sticker on B-side, removable with a dab of warm water and some patience. Your rockin' juke-box needs this platter.

Please for more great 78s. I’m happy to combine multiple auctions to help get the best shipping rates. And, don’t forget, I can ship up to two 78s for the same price as shipping one. As well, in most cases, I can ship up to six 78s for the same price as shipping three.
With the ever-rising costs of shipping 78s, I’m happy to hold records for you buyers who want to fill up a box – on a ‘pay as you go’ basis, please.

Unless otherwise stated, 78s are carefully cleaned with the excellent Spin-Clean Record Washer before listing. Upon receiving, your only job will be to enjoy the music.
78s come in used but nice vintage green sleeves or, when possible, original company sleeves.
I do my spot-checking and play-testing on a Technics 1200 turntable with a Stanton 500 cartridge using a standard Stanton 2.7 mil 78 stylus. The amp is a mid-70s Pro-Linear with the mono switch activated. The speakers are small professional recording studio monitors (Yamaha NS 10) that are known for being overly bright – great for spotting that mild surface noise!
I ship 78s as I like to receive them - using the four-sheet 10” cardboard sandwich, foam chips, 12" x 12" x 4 "(or 6") box method.
I use standard 78 grading (E+, E, E-, V+, V, V- etc). I’ll sometimes use double plus or minus signs to really hone in on the shape.

NOTE TO ALL BUYERS. There have been more changes and increases to Canada Post's shipping rates.

A NOTE ON SHIPPING AND HANDLING: I’m now using the eBay shipping calculator to show shipping costs for up to two 78s.
US BUYERS - shipping calculator rates are for non-insured Small Packet Air shipping. Small Packet surface has been discontinued. I can offer Tracked Packet air shipping (with tracking number and up to $100.00 insurance) for a few dollars more.
CANADIAN BUYERS – the shipping calculator will give you rates for surface shipping. Also, since I’m mailing from British Columbia, 12 % HST (on shipping only) will be added to the invoice of all Canadian orders.
ALL OTHER INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - shipping calculator rates are for non-insured Small Packet airmail. I can offer Tracked Packet air shipping for up to two 78s (with tracking number and up to $100.00 insurance) for several dollars more. Write for more details. International surface shipping can take a long time to reach you – up to two months – so is not recommended.
I've had to add a small fee to help cover the extra costs of: 1. packing materials (boxes, cardboard pads, foam chips, etc), 2. eBay’s final-value-fees on shipping charges, 3. fees incurred by PayPal on shipping charges.
There is no ‘handling charge’ for the time I take to properly pack your precious, fragile 78 for safe travel.
Please drop me a note if you have any questions.
