  YOU ARE BIDDING ON AN ORIGINAL 1957 MONO LP BY BUDDY HOLLY AND THE CRICKETS "THE CHIRPING CRICKETS". IT CONTAINS MANY OF HIS MOST FAMOUS SEMINAL ROCK SONGS THAT HAVE BEEN COVERED TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

 THE LP HAS SOME VERY LIGHT SCRATCHES THROUGHOUT. IT HAS A NICE SHEEN, PERFECT LABELS AND A NICE TIGHT SPINDLE HOLE. UPON SPINNING THE RECOR I FOUND IT TO BE REMARKABLY FREE FROM SURFACE NOISE. THERE IS SOME BETWEEN THE CUTS BUT AS SOON AS THE MUSIC STARTS IT CAN'T BE HEARD FOR THE MOST PART. I AM LISTENING TO IT AS I WRITE THIS AND IT IS GIVING A WONDERFUL LISTEN.

  THE COVER WITH THE  TEXTURED SURFACE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE FRONT PHOTO AND GRAPHICS ARE BRIGHT AND CRISP. THE BACK SHOWS SOME DISCOLORATION BUT THE CONTENT IS PERFECT. THE BIG FLAW IS THAT THE SPINE OF THE COVER IS TOTALLY SPLIT (SEE PHOTO).

 THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS GONE AND I HAVE PROVIDED A NICE PAPER AND CELLOPHNE REPLACEMENT.

  THE CUTS:OH BOY/NOT FADE AWAY/YOU'VE GOT LOVE/MAYBR BABY/IT'S TOO LATE/TELL ME HOW/THAT'LL BE THE DAY/LOOKIN' FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE/AN EMPTY CUP/SEND ME SOME LOVIN/'LAST NIGHT/ROCK ME MY BABY.

  THE RECORD WILL BE SHIPPED QUITE SECURELY WITH TWO PLASTIC SLEEVES AND BUBBLE WRAP IN AN OVERSIZED BOX BY USPS FREE BY MEDIA MAIL UNLESS YOU SPECIFY ANOTHER SERVICE FOR WHICH YOU WILL PAY AT LEAST PART OF THE SHIPPING. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING WILL BE USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AT $ 26.00 US INSURED.
