FOR THE NEXT WEEK I'LL BE LISTING SOME LATE 1950s AND VERY EARLY 1960s UK 45s -- SOME EXTREMELY RARE ONE SIDED PROMOS AND SOME COMMERCIAL ISSUE TRI-CENTER COPIES.  IF YOU ARE BIDDING FROM THE UK OR ANY AREA OUTSIDE THE U.S. AND YOU ARE PURCHASING MULTIPLE ITEMS PLEASE WAIT FOR MY FINAL EBAY INVOICE AFTER YOU ARE FINISHED BIDDING BEFORE YOU PAY, AS THE FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL POSTAGE RATES FROM THE US TO AREAS ABROAD HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF HAND FOR ITEMS AT LOWER WEIGHTS, AND ALSO BECAUSE, AS STATED BELOW, ALL OF MY SHIPMENTS VALUED AT $50.00 US GOING TO AREAS OUTSIDE THE U.S. MUST GO VIA REGISTERED WITH SIGNATURE DELIVERY FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL IN ORDER TO FACILITATE TRACKING, WHICH WILL ADD AN ADDITIONAL $13.95 TO THE SHIPPING COST.  I APOLOGIZE FOR ALL OF THIS, BUT GIVEN THE CURRENT RIDICULOUS U.S. INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE RATES AND EBAY'S BUYER PROTECTIONS THESE THINGS ARE UNAVOIDABLE.

This is an ORIGINAL 1958 LONDON RECORDS U.K. 1-SIDED TRI-CENTER PROMO 45 containing the song titled 'Book Of Lies' from longtime R&B vocal favorite Ruth Brown.  It is London Records U.K. catalog number MSM 2518, tri-center pressing with tri-center present and intact, orange label with an additional stamped catalog number HLE 8645 and the 2:30 running time handwritten in blue ballpoint.  A continuous tone is heard on the B-side of the record.

Condition of the play side record is a real nice EX with just a couple of very light barely visible surface marks which cannot be felt and do not affect play.  A-side label has a tiny bit of contact wear, no other visible flaws, B-side has no label.  This 45 would be a choice addition to any UK press R&B vocal or Ruth Brown 45 record collection!  First Class mail postage within the U.S. is $3.50.  I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE - PLEASE NOTE: NEW FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL POSTAGE TO AREAS OUTSIDE THE U.S EXCEPT FOR CANADA (10.50) AND GERMANY is $13.50 - YES IT'S CRAZY, THIS IS THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE AS OF 1/27, NOT ME!!!  PLEASE NOTE: AN EXTRA $13.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY WILL BE ADDED TO ALL SHIPMENTS VALUED OVER $50.00 GOING TO BUYERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.  ALSO, DUE TO THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS CONTINUING FAILURE TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES, I AM FORCED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL $13.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY TO ALL SHIPMENTS GOING TO GERMANY.  I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, BUT I CANNOT CONTINUE TO LOSE MONEY AND HAVE MY EBAY REPUTATION DAMAGED BY THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS' INABILITY TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES.  Please e-mail me for postage rates to other areas outside the U.S.!   BUYER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE! I will give an immediate refund (less shipping) upon return of the 45 if buyer is dissatisfied for any reason. Good luck!
