John McCormack – Poor Man's Garden / Friend O' Mine Label: His Master's Voice – D.A.1391 Format: Shellac, 10", 78 RPM Country: UK
Looks nice and clean, with only general marks on disc. Plays great with some typical background surface noise, no clicks or pops - played on a Dansette Major so will not be played the best. Probably only played a couple of times. Be hard to find a copy as good as this one.
The 78s I am selling are not classed as mint condition (I don't think any are unless old store stock), they have all been played and well loved, I test play them all and can guarantee they will play right though although have typical surface noise, I am playing them on a 1950's Dansette Major though, so probably not getting best sound out of them.
78s are notoriously fragile, and have survived over 80 years, so I pack very carefully. Each 78 is covered in sandwiched between 2 cross laid 12" cardboard stiffeners, wrapped in bubbled wrap and sent in an oversized box with more void packaging. The extra packaging means that I to have charge slightly higher postage prices for 78s, but rest assured that the main things is that your 78 reaches you fully intact.
Due to the fragility of 78s, I like to only send these to UK addresses. If you are outside the UK and want to buy this then please contact us first to discuss your options.
I can send 3 or 4 78s for the same postage price and will discount postage for bulk purchases. If you buy more than 1 item then please wait until you have received a combined invoice from us before paying, as Ebay will not apply the discount automatically. You also get a percentage discount on purchases of more than one item.
