For Sale: DD Reproduction 52014 "Yes She Do"!!! $30

[donniej]

Many of you have been waiting for these to become available for a while, and I now have four copies available. DD 52014 - Golden Gate Orchestra - "Yes She Do" and "Hallelujah!".
Two are clear and two are black. Billybob gets first pick
Shipping is $5 each.

The good-
This is the third DD I've molded and the other two have reported good wear characteristics (first shipped over 3 months ago).
They play well and (I believe) are being sold at a great price.

The bad-
This is my first two-sided disc mold and the process is not yet perfected (I'm not Tom, after all ).
The label area could be more niclely finished.
There are often air bubbles at the "top" point of the disc. This is outside of the playing surface and is purely cosmetic.
Some discs may have some microscopic air bubbles in the groove area. This results in the crackle you may notice in the video.
The disc isn't perfectly flat, as the original was not either.

Please see the video below for a demo of one of these early production discs. It shows all the good and bad about this first batch. And stay tuned, there's more to come!!

Don,

I got my clear copy today and it looks great... Just wondered if you could either email me scans of both labels or post them? Great job on a great project...

After a long wait (That I apologize for) and some small issues with hardware silicone, I've decided to make some record copies with silicone rubber. I will first be reproducing Leo Reisman's version of "Puttin' On The Ritz", on the Victor Scroll label. If any suggestions are to be made, and in enough quantity, I will consider making a second run with the record of your choice. The first round of copies will be posted on Yankee Trader within a month or so.
