ATTENTION FRANK SINATRA COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS! IGNORE EVERY OTHER COPY ON EBAY(IF YOU CAN FIND ONE)AND LOOK AT THIS STUNNING ORIGINAL MONO LP FROM 1956:"SONGS FOR SWINGIN' LOVERS" WHICH HAS THE EARLIEST LABELS AND COVER DESIGN!  HERE IS ONE OF THE BEST COPIES I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HEARD IN OVER 30 YEARS AS A DEALER OF AN ALBUM WHICH USUALLY TURNS UP IN DREADFUL CONDITION. MOST COPIES WOULD BE PLAYED ON VERY OLD EQUIPMENT CAUSING DAMAGE-THIS COPY IS EXCEPTIONAL AND REGARDED BY MANY AS HIS BEST LP!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1956 MONO ISSUE  IN SOLID MONO SOUND ON QUIET AND MEGA-THICK VINYL!  1956 EMI PRESSED CAPITOL SILVER PRINT LABELS LCT 6106 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/2N MATRIXES. HOUSED IN A BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED FULLY LAMINATED+FLIPBACK SLEEVE! 

PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS AND COMPARE TO THE LATER COVERS THAT SHOW AN OLDER LOOKING SINATRA LOOKING DOWN ON THE COUPLE WHEREAS THE EARLIEST ONE(THIS ONE!)HAS HIM LOOKING UP WEARING A DIFFERENT HAT AND CLOTHES! THE COVER WAS CHANGED WITHIN A YEAR OF ISSUE!.

FROM THE COLLECTION OF A FORMER JAZZ AND CLASSICAL MUSIC COLLECTOR THAT CLEARLY HAS HAD VERY FEW PLAYS INDEED! JUST BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT AN LP FROM OVER 60 YEARS AGO SOUNDS LIKE WITH PRACTICALLY NO CRACKLE,NO DISTORTION,NO CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO SWISHES-EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS! THIS IS A TRULY AMAZING COPY! GLEAMING SURFACES THAT RARELY EXIST ON ANY LP OF THIS AGE LET ALONE A 1950s JAZZ ONE THAT WOULD HAVE MAJOR SURFACE MARKS ADDED WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF USE BY THE MAJORITY OF BUYERS IN 1956! 

LOCATING AN OUTSTANDING  NEAR MINT COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING DISTORTION AND MAJOR WEAR. THIS COPY HAS ONLY A COUPLE OF FAINT SURFACE MARKS AND IS STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION.

THICK VINYL.NO SPINDLE WEAR.HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "BRIT PAT. APPLIED FOR" TEXT AND THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER HAS A LITTLE LAMINATION PEELING,SOME TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE GREAT LPs FROM ME ON EBAY.

POSTAGE WORLDWIDE! EUROPE AIR MAIL £7 REST OF THE WORLD £10.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
