AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS GREAT LATINISED COUNTRY ROCKER 78 FROM MITCHELL TOROK

Mitchell Torok

Mitchell Torok began his career as a songwriter for various artists. His first hit, "Mexican Joe", was performed by Jim Reeves in 1953. Torok himself was signed to the Abbot record label in late 1953 and hit number one in both the Billboard country and juke-box charts with his song "Caribbean".

Along with a string of various charted songs, Mitchell Torok also had success in the UK charts with his songs "When Mexico Gave Up The Rhumba" and "Red Light, Green Light". This success led to him touring the UK in 1957.

His last U.S. chart was "Instant Love" in 1967. He continued to co-write with his wife (under the pseudonyms Gayle Jones and Ramona Reed) and some of his songs have been recorded by the likes of Skeeter Davis, Glen Campbell and Dean Martin. Mitchell Torok is also a talented painter and has a painting on display at the Elvis Presley Museum in Nashville.

POSTAGE STUFF

To obey eBaYs latest crackpot edict (in order that they can make money on the postage costs) I have listed this record in the UK as having "FREE POSTAGE"

THIS ONLY COVERS UK 2nd CLASS DELIVERY

THIS IS A FRAGILE 78 AND NORMALLY THE ACTUAL COMBINED PRICE OF SAFE PACKING AND POSTAGE IS

IN THE UK 2nd CLASS £4.00 1st CLASS MAIL £5.00

OVERSEAS AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET IS EUROPE £ 8.00 & THE REST OF WORLD £ 12.00

To help try and cover this cost, I have included an extra £3.60 into the price of the record and have deducted the same from the cost of the other postage options.

BUYERS COMBINING SEVERAL "FREE" POST ITEMS MAY GET A REBATE.

(Please wait for my invoice before paying so that I can give you the right discount because the eBaY system has no facility for doing this automatically)

10" 78 RPM RECORDS NEED CAREFULLY PACKING, AND I CLAIM TO HAVE THE BEST PACKAGING IN THE WORLD FOR DISPATCHING THEM!!

THE GREG'S GREAT'S SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A SPECIALLY DESIGNED INNER BOX MADE OUT OF 1" THICK POLYSTYRENE, WHICH THEN GOES INSIDE A DOUBLE CORREGATED STIFF OUTER CARDBOARD CARTON. THE BOXES CAN TAKE UP TO 21 RECORDS,

USUALLY FOR MAILING OVERSEAS, I RECOMMEND NO MORE THAN 7 IN A BOX, OTHERWISE IT GOES OVER THE AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 2Kgs WHICH CAUSES A LARGE HIKE IN POSTAL RATES.

I SEND OUT ON AVERAGE ABOUT 30 PARCELS A WEEK AND DISPATCH IS NORMALLY DONE ONCE A WEEK - SO IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR RECORD WITHIN A WEEK IN THE UK, PLEASE DON'T BE TOO SURPRISED - YOU MAY HAVE JUST PAID FOR IT THE DAY AFTER I'VE DONE THE PARCEL RUN!! - ON THE OTHER HAND YOU MAY HAVE HIT IT LUCKY, AND GET THE PARCEL WITHIN A DAY OR TWO!!

IF YOU REALLY HAVE AN URGENT REQUIREMENT FOR THE RECORD - BIRTHDAY PRESENT, WEDDING, FUNERAL etc PLEASE TELL ME - (BECAUSE I CAN'T READ MINDS!) I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET IT OUT FOR YOU URGENTLY.

IF A RECORD ARRIVES CRACKED OR BROKEN DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS WITH THIS FANTASTIC PACKAGING I WILL REFUND THE MONEY IN FULL. - JUST SEND ME A QUICK SCAN - IF IT IS A VERY RARE RECORD I MAY ASK YOU TO SEND IT BACK OTHERWISE IT WILL BE YOURS TO KEEP OR DISPOSE OF.
