Eddie Cochran - Summertime Blues (*Rare* UK 78 10" Shellac HLU.8702) 

Very rare U.K. 78 released in 1958.

The Shellac is in Very Good condition. There are some light surface marks and some light mottling in the shellac itself. This shellac has been played right through on both sides and graded accordingly. There are some light crackles during playback, mostly during the quieter passages of music, and there are the occasional clicks and pops but there are no sticks or jumps and the sound is very good. Overall, an enjoyable listen.

The shellac is in a plain brown paper sleeve

Both labels are in Excellent condition with no marks or writing. 

Released in 1958 on London Records Cat: HLU.8702.

This LP will be sent via Special Delivery to the U.K. and International Signed For with extra compensation cover to the rest of the world.

POSTED WITHIN 24 HOURS FROM THE U.K.

ALL THE ALBUMS I SELL ARE VERY SECURELY PACKAGED WITH AT LEAST TWO STIFFENERS AND NEW PLASTIC SLEEVES. I ALWAYS PLACE THE RECORD OUTSIDE THE OUTER SLEEVE TO ENSURE THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE SLEEVE IN TRANSIT. I ONLY USE THE HIGHEST GRADE PACKAGING TO ENSURE THE RECORDS ARRIVE IN THE CONDITION I STATE IN MY LISTINGS.

Grading

I grade all my records using the Record Collector's Grading System which is as follows:

Mint - 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 condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent - The record shows 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 - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits discoloration etc.

Fair - 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 - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
