ARTIST & TITLE: AMBROSE & HIS ORCHESTRA - ‘EMPTY SADDLES'

ISSUE: 1-Sided Vinyl Decca Master Test Pressing of Matrix TB2340-2

CONDITION: E+

COMMENTS: UNISSUED TAKE!

We have acquired a large quantity of British Decca/Rex Test Pressings, including many Unissued and even Unidentified items. These were pressed on heavy vinyl in the 1960s and 1970s by Decca in consideration for reissue. Some of the pressings show staining from the metal parts which usually doesn’t sound, and some have swishing. This is noted in the grading. Note that the label example  illustrated is generic unless the one being sold has writing on the label. Watch out for more to follow!

  

Important information for Bidders - read on… 

We always combine the shipping costs on multiple items to save you money. We can ship 5 or 6 10” 78 rpm records for then same price as one! If you win more than one item ignore eBay's automated invoice and wait for an invoice from us which will show the discounted shipping total. We're also happy to hold items for a larger parcel provided they are paid for.

VERY IMPORTANT -  PLEASE NOTE: shipping prices DO NOT include tracking or insurance - please request a quote if required. Royal Mail compensation for lost/ damaged overseas parcels is now reduced to £20 maximum per parcel. Please note that we are not liable for any loss or damage in transit unless insurance to the full declared value of the items is taken - this adds about £5.50 to the shipping total. Please bear this in mind before paying for your item.
