What's on offer?: Almost without the need for introduction, here we have a SIMPLY FANTASTIC and hugely in demand Rock & Roll Rockabilly Monster - especially as an ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING and in STUNNING MINT UNPLAYED condition!!

Artist: BOB RILEY

A-side: “THE MIDNIGHT LINE”

B-side: “Wanda Jean”

Label: MGM 977 (UK Original)

When did you last see one of these offered for sale in this condition and, importantly, when are you likely to see one again???!!! The ONLY copy of this that I've ever seen advertised (in 2004 and "VG+" condition) sold for £312.00!

So, forget the RRPG 2006 insane, "giveaway" guide price of £50, this gem is very much like early Elvis and incredibly reminiscent of "Mystery Train"!!!  So, this quite simply is an essential item for collectors of ROCK & ROLL and ROCKABILLY around the World and - as a tri-centre pressing - is on so many Wants Lists it's simply incredible!  The “Buy It Now” facility is there for the careful consideration of those serious collectors who want to get their hands on this gem NOW!!!

Forget all the cheap bootleg repros (made without push-out centres) that are doing the rounds, as you'll see from the photo this is guaranteed to be the ORIGINAL 1957 UK 1st Pressing. Any fan of Bob Riley, the Rock & Roll Rockabilly sound or 50s music in general, will simply have to have this in their collection!!!! 

Grade (labels): The labels are an extremely pale yellow colour and, whilst still in TOP condition, look to have suffered some very slight fading over 40+ years. Alternatively, it may be that the printing plant was to blame.  Anyway, it's minor!  There is NO unwanted handwriting, NO wear and NO spindle marks!!! 

Grade (vinyl): Most of these 50s singles had been played on a heavy stylus and so are usually found totally worn out, almost unplayable. This record, however, is strictly graded at MINT and is firmly believed to be UNPLAYED!!!! 

Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT Record Collector grading standards - it's simply not in my interest to do otherwise!!!! Brilliant!!!!

Why buy?:  THIS IS SUCH A BRILLIANT AND PAINFULLY RARE SINGLE.  IT’S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A GENUINE COPY IN ANY CONDITION, LET ALONE STUNNING MINT UNPLAYED!!!! SO, DON'T MISS OUT!!!! THIS WILL SURELY BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1957 MGM UK 1ST PRESSING OF "MIDNIGHT LINE" BY BOB RILEY IN STUNNING MINT UNPLAYED CONDITION!!!! Use the 'Buy It Now' facility (if it's still available) before somebody else beats you to it!!!
