THE GREAT PRETENDER /HIS GOLD WILL MELT 78 JACKIE RIGGS

A NEAR MINT COPY OF THIS INTERESTING 78 FROM JACKIE RIGGS

A GREAT DOUBLE SIDER FEATURING

THE GREAT PRETENDER  b/w HIS GOLD WILL MELT

NICE RENDITION OF THIS DOO-WOP FAVOURITE WHICH BECAME A BIG CHART HIT FOR THE PLATTERS

The B side "His Gold will Melt" is the moral tale of what will ensue after a rich bloke pinches a poor blokes woman.

His gold will melt, till he’s got no more,

Then love will fly right out the door.

And he’ll be left alone to cry,

cause love is something that you just cant buy.

This is a much collected "Popcorn" track also associated with Northern Soul connosieurs. It was also done by the Mariners.

THIS RECORD DOESN'T APPEAR IN THE UK GUINESS HIT SINGLE CHART BOOK, BUT IT WAS LISTED AS REACHING NUMBER 15 IN THE MELODY MAKER CHARTS ON 14 APRIL 1956

eBaY IN THEIR INFINITE WISDOM HAVE VERY STUPIDLY PUT

POSTAGE STUFF

To obey eBaYs latest crackpot edict (in order that they can make money on the postage costs) I have listed this record 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.

I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO COMBINE POSTAGE COSTS FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES
