Labels :

Classic UK 1st Press ridged HMV labels Both sides are OUTSTANDING with NO real signs of age, NO graffiti, and NO writing OR tears whatsoever Just has a small amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this hasn t had too much play at all FANTASTIC for a 59 year old record Both must grade overall at least as Very Good

Record : Visual -

Spectacular Original UK 1st Press Vinyl Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks GREAT for it s age with NO nasty deep scratches whatsoever, and NO deep groove-breaking vicious scuffs whatsoever The only blemishes are just a few light scuff marks, a few light hairlines and age marks here and there, and just some of the usual light wispy sleeve traces only visible in direct angled light from general use and where it has sat or been removed from it s cover over the years On a modern, thin LP, these marks would possibly hinder play, but because this is such an ultra thick quality 1st pressing, it plays fine with no trouble AT ALL Used, but definitely AWESOME for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall at least as Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Record : Audio -

Thankfully, it plays BRILLIANTLY with fantastic mono blast and clarity It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, skips OR sticks Only like pretty much ALL records has just a mere touch of the lightest crackle here and there, only a few light ticks here and there on rare occasions and a touch of light frequency crackle on the First In Line vocal truly minimal compared to most , and a hint of low level ultra light bluesman s fag atmospheric static here and there such as on some of the quieter sections like the run in grooves and between some tracks e.t.c, but it TRULY doesn t overshadow the music AT ALL I d even argue it gives it added soul And that s truly about it The vast, vast majority of the music is ultra clear and sounds AWESOME with that bass, depth, warmth and clarity you can only get from 1st Press UK vinyl An outstanding listen Absolutely ESSENTIAL ASTONISHING for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall audibly at least as Very Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Sleeve :

Original UK 1957 HMV fully laminated flipback sleeve complete with original inner IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn, covered with graffiti and with huge sections missing due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP This one is NOT too bad at all and looks FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves NO excessively bad marks AT ALL, and still strong, solid and beautifully presentable after all these years Only has a few usual signs of ageing such as a small amount of ultra light creases and a touch of a record imprint, only some very minor minimal ageing along parts of the opening such as just some very minor general ruffling and only a very tiny little piece missing to the bottom right corner of the front centre and just one tiny little tear just above the centre truly fantastic for this sleeve , just a little wear to the centre of the spine and top seam truly mild and not split through at all - NO daylight , only the very lightest hint of dulling to the white back barely any at all - ASTONISHING for a six decade old sleeve , a touch of denting/rounding to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP s have, and just to be sure one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all And that s truly about it I tend to bring it down by listing every minor negative I can possibly find, but this really is a OUTSTANDING sleeve The colours are as vibrant as ever, and a TRUE rarity to find one as complete, together and beautifully presentable as this - most have been virtually destroyed with huge sections missing, tears, pin holes e.t.c, but not this one It remains strong, solid, unsplit, unspoilt and beautifully presentable, and even the spine remains strong, solid, unsplit and mostly readable too Must grade overall at the least as Very Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me

Summary : A BRILLIANT example of this INCREDIBLY RARE classic original 1957 HMV debut Mono UK 1st Press LP with an utterly FANTASTIC sleeve Hard to find in ANY condition, but SERIOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS TRULY AWESOME AS THIS YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don t miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60 s/70 s music history Bid now

I ve realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system occasionally with a or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i m having real trouble deciding , so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100 perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps
