About : Ultra Rare Original 1956 UK 1st Press!!! This MASSIVELY RARE LP initially sold barely anything (LP's were also really expensive to most people back then!!!) and therefore had a very small run, and is INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND, especially in this condition!!! AN absolute classic LP from this incredible legend!!! An astonishing album that really DESERVES to be in EVERY serious 60's / 70's record collection!!! Don't miss out on this MEGA RARE LP!!! If you like good music, bid now!!!


The LP :


Labels :


Classic UK 1st Press ridged “R T" HMV labels!!! Both sides are FANTASTIC with minimal signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever!!! Just has a small amount of ultra light spindle marks from general careful ultra light use over the years!!! AWESOME for a 67 year old record!!! Both must grade overall at least as Very Good+++!!!


Record : Visual -


Spectacular Original 1956 UK 1st Press Vinyl!!! Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed!!! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks INCREDIBLE with NO nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever!!! The only blemishes off perfection are just one or two BARELY VISIBLE totally non-sounding cosmetic scuffs, a few of the lightest, wispy sleeve traces/cleaning lines (only visible in strong angled light) and only one or two ULTRA light non sounding hairlines from where it has sat or been removed from it's cover over the years!!! Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes affect smoothness of play AT ALL!!! FANTASTIC for a record of this age and rarity!!! You’ll be amazed by how generally clean and unworn it is!!! Must grade overall at least as Very 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 AWESOME with NO hops, distortion, sticks, or skips!!! Only (like pretty much all records) has low level static in places such as on the run in grooves, a few light ticks here and there on rare occasions, and just a hint of ULTRA mild and light "bluesman's fag" static crackle in few and far between places such as on some of the quieter sections, but it truly doesn't overshadow the music AT ALL!!! I'd even argue it gives it added soul!!! An outstanding listen - The music is TRULY loud and clear with that bass, depth, warmth and clarity you can only get from UK 1st Press vinyl!!! Absolutely essential!!! FANTASTIC for a record of this age and rarity!!! Must grade overall audiably 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 1956 HMV fully laminated flipback sleeve complete with original unsplit emitex inner!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT, and looks OUTSTANDING, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO writing OR graffiti, NO bad marks AT ALL, NO pieces missing for once, NO seam splits, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years!!! This sleeve only has a few tiny signs of ULTRA mild ageing such as just a tiny amount of ultra light edge creases and the merest hint of a record imprint, the very slightest touch of laminate lifting to the very bottom right corner of the front and just two tiny little tear nicks to the openings with just a hint of curling a hint of curling from the slightest shrinkage over the past near 7 decades (truly, truly minimal and absolutely nothing drastic whatosever), only the most minor suggestion of the slightest general age toning to the still unbelievably clean and ultra bright unlaminated back (truly, truly minimal - absolutely NOTHING drastic and NO stains, writing, graffiti, nasty marks OR grubbiness whatsoever!!! PHENOMENAL), a touch of rounding/whitening to the four corner tips which virtually ALL vintage LP's have, and POSSIBLY (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 the most minor negatives I can possibly find, but this is a truly OUTSTANDING sleeve, and a SERIOUS rarity to find one as absolutely ASTONISHING as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one!!! Easily THE very greatest example I have ever seen and will surely EVER see again!!! It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit, unspoilt and unbelievably unaged, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and 100% readable for once!!! Must grade overall at the very, very least as Very Good++++ if not Excellent!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)


Summary : A PHENOMENAL stunningly unaged one off time capsule example of this IMPOSSIBLY RARE classic original 1956 HMV debut Mono UK 1st Press LP with an utterly stunning sleeve!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but SERIOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS TRULY OUTRAGEOUS AS THIS!!!
