AN EXTREMELY RARE 7" by ELVIS PRESLEY FROM 1957 CALLED, "MYSTERY TRAIN". CLASSIC ROCKABILLY SONG WRITTEN by PARKER & PHILLIPS.
B-SIDE IS ANOTHER CLASSIC SONG, THE BALLAD "LOVE ME" WRITTEN by LEIBER & STOLLER.
ON THE PURPLE HMV LABEL WITH GOLD TYPE AS THE RARER ISSUE WITH FIRMLY ATTACHED 4 POINT CENTRE.
FIRST PRESSING WITH MATRIX DETAILS AS F2-WW-8001-IN (also has RTI and R) and G2-WW-4921-IN (also has RTI and R).
AND I HAVE STARTED AT A LOW START PRICE AS I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT VALUE THIS RECORD HAS OTHER THAN IT APPEARS TO BE ONE OF A HANDFUL OF ELVIS SINGLES THAT ARE VALUED THE MOST HIGHLY.
I WILL DESCRIBE ALL THAT I CAN SEE AND SHOW YOU PLENTY OF PHOTOGRAPHS SO YOU CAN REALLY ASSESS CONDITION FOR YOURSELF.
SLEEVE
SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH VERY LITTLE WEAR AND NO WRITING OR TEARS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS SOME LIGHT CREASING.
RECORD
RECORD COMES IN AROUND VG TO VG+CONDITION WITH PLENTY OF GENERAL SCUFFS AND LIGHT SCRATCHINGS.
THE RECORD WAS PROPERLY CLEANED BEFORE BEING CAREFULLY PLAYED THROUGHOUT SO AS TO REPORT ON ITS AUDIO QUALITY.
PROBABLY SIDE ONE LOOKS WORSE AS SHOWN BUT THEN PLAYS BETTER DUE TO THE ROCKABILLY NATURE OF THE SONG, WITH THE B-SIDE BALLAD SHOWING UP THE GREATER LEVEL OF BACKGROUND NOISE AND CLICKS.
THERE ARE NO SKIPS OR JUMPS.
RECORD IS NOT WARPED AND HAS THE RARE 4-POINT CENTRE PROPERLY FIXED AND WHICH HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED OR REFITTED.
RECORD LABELS
SIDE ONE HAS SOME WEAR TO THE SPINDLE HOLE AND AT ITS PERIPHERY PROBABLY DUE TO THE ARM OF A DANSETTE HOLDING THE RECORD IN A STACK PRIOR TO PLAY?
THERE IS ALSO A BLUE PEN MARK TO THIS SIDE THROUGH THE LARGE WORD, "HIS"AND ON THE B SIDE A PEN CROSS UNDER THE WORD, "VOICE" AND ALSO THE NAME, "BERYL" MARKED IN RED PEN - THIS IS PRETTY INDISTINCT.
PLENTY OF EVIDENCE THEN TO SHOW THAT THIS POPULAR RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED QUITE A BIT OVER THE YEARS BUT STYLUS/NEEDLE WEAR IS LOW.
I WILL SEND THIS 7" VERY WELL PROTECTED WITHIN A QUALITY PVC SLEEVE AND A 7" RECORD MAILER WITH CORRUGATED CARD FOR PROTECTION.
I HAVE SOLD OVER 2100 ITEMS ON EBAY INCLUDING A LARGE RANGE OF ITEMS WITH NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK SO THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU THE ASSURANCE THAT YOU CAN BID WITH CONFIDENCE!! IN CONCLUSION I WOULD SAY THIS RARE 7" COMES IN AN OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION.
I TRY TO GIVE YOU ALL THE DETAILS THAT I THINK YOU WILL NEED ON THE CONDITION OF THE ITEM, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ANYTHING MORE THEN PLEASE JUST ASK!! PERSONAL COLLECTION IS OF COURSE ALSO ACCEPTABLE. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING!! PLEASE LOOK AT MY RECORD OF 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK TO BE ASSURED I AM A TOTALLY HONEST SELLER. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!!
