The record labels are in BRILLIANT condition (see pictures) with NO writing, barely ANY wear AT ALL, and the only other VERY minor point to mention is that the record has clearly lost its centre at some point in the past!!!!  The record is in GREAT condition!!!!  Most of these 50s singles had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This record is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, only 2 or 3 VERY light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO nasty loud pops, NO jumps, NO sticks, and only some INCREDIBLY low level touches of background crackle on the A side - though there is slightly more background crackle on the B side.  The record must grade visually Very Good++ if not better - with the playing grade slightly less than this on the B Side for the reason given above.  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  This record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press HMV Company Sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition (NO edge splits, etc)!!!!  THIS SINGLE IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ULTRA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
