A STRONG VG+++++++ CONDITION  

BARELY SOLD IN 1956!!!!

RELEASED OVER A YEAR BEFORE HIS BREAKTHROUGH HIT-

"THAT'LL BE THE DAY" 

IN 1956, 7INCH 45s HAD YET TO TOTALLY TAKE OVER THE STANDARD 78s AND ONLY SELECTIVE TITLES WERE MADE IN THE NEWER 45RPM FORMAT WITH TINY QUANTITIES OF THE MORE OBSCURE ARTISTS-THESE WERE NOT USUALLY STANDARD SHOP STOCK ITEMS AND IN MOST CASES WERE OBTAINED TO SPECIAL ORDER.

PROBABLY AROUND 500 COPIES PRESSED. 

HOW MANY COPIES SURVIVE?

A FEW DOZEN MAYBE-MOST IN THE HANDS OF COLLECTORS WHO WON'T EVER SELL THEM!!

VERY FEW COPIES SURVIVE AS GOOD AS THIS ONE!

Buddy who so sadly died alongside Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper 49 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, is still admired and keenly collected around the world.

A MAJOR INFLUENCE ON JUST ABOUT ANYONE THAT WRITES AND PERFORMS GOOD POP MUSIC!

THE BEATLES

THE ROLLING STONES

BOB DYLAN

THE BEACH BOYS

etc etc etc etc.

ALL COPIED THE SONGWRITING GENIUS-BUDDY LEAD THE WAY-

ELVIS HARDLY WROTE ANY SONGS-BUDDY WROTE ALMOST EVERYTHING HE RECORDED(THIS DEBUT 45 WAS AN EXCEPTION-BEN HALL DID!-BUT BUDDY WROTE THE"B"SIDE!!!) 

This was his 1st single and failed to chart in the UK or in the USA.

The"B"side is"LOVE ME".

Here is  a chance to own an ORIGINAL 45 on it's 1ST UK BRUNSWICK  LABEL 1956  pressing.

THIS IS A GREAT SONG, A PIECE OF HISTORY AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many BUDDY HOLLY completists and given my 22 years experience of running one of the best known record collectors shops in the UK and now around the world, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers in shops and on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S SUGGESTED £800 VALUE AND IN AUCTION SITUATION WHO KNOWS!

£200 IS A ROCK BOTTOM LOW START AND YOU KNOW IT!!!!!!!  

However based on how infrequently these RARE singles of OVER 50 years ago are turning up it is quite possible there MIGHT be keen bidding on this title so be prepared at the last minute to increase your bid!!!  

THIS COPY HAS  BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES WITH MINOR SURFACE MARKS BUT STILL LOOKS AND SOUNDS FANTASTIC-COULD MAKE A GREAT UPGRADE.

EASILY VG+++++++++ CONDITION! A MINT CONDITION COPY PROBABLY DOES NOT EXIST ON AN ITEM LIKE THIS!!! 

LOOK AT THE FEEDBACK TO SEE MY STRICTNESS OF GRADING !!!  

THERE IS A LITTLE SPINDLE WEAR.

HOUSED IN A CLEAN , ORIGINAL CRISP, COMPANY COVER AS SUPPLIED WAY BACK IN 1956.

NO WRITING/RIPS/SELLOTAPE OR DEFACEMENT EXCEPT A TINY SMALL INK BLOT ON THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE COVER-SEE PHOTO 2.      

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
