PLEASE READ THE DETAILED GRADING 

Here is  a chance to own a 1957 LP FEATURING ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESFUL  ROCK AND ROLL LEGENDS OF THE 1950s AND 1960s.

WHEN I STARTED IN THE BUSINESS IN 1986, THIS LP WAS STILL FAIRLY EASY TO FIND ON A REGULAR BASIS BUT NOWADAYS IT RARELY TURN UP IN NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION ESPECIALLY LIKE THIS ONE.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF THE HARDEST TO FIND AS IN 1957, 45s WERE GENERALLY MORE POPULAR WITH YOUNG ROCK AND ROLL BUYERS AND HE WAS STILL A"NEW KID ON THE BLOCK"TO MOST BRITISH BUYERS WHO MAY NOT HAVE HEARD MORE THAN 2 TRACKS BY THIS DYNAMIC PERFORMER! 

IT IS RARELY SEEN AND HEARD AS GOOD AS THIS COPY, SO IT IS A VITAL LP FOR ANY LITTLE RICHARD COLLECTOR AND/OR KEEN FAN!

AS REGARDS THE SURVIVAL OF SUCH AN LP IN NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION,DON'T FORGET IN THE LATE 1950s and INTO THE  1960s, SO MANY RECORDS WERE PLAYED ON HEAVY RADIOGRAMS WITH STYLI THAT WERE RARELY CHANGED AND AUTOCHANGERS THAT LEFT NASTY SCUFF MARKS TRAPPING GRIT AND DUST.

ALSO THE TINY PORTABLE PLAYERS WOULD CAUSE SIMILAR DAMAGE.

IT MUST BE REMEMBERED THAT  LPs  WERE VERY EXPENSIVE AS WAS THE BETER EQUIPMENT TO PLAY THEM ON ALTHOUGH EARLY SUGGESTED TRACKING WEIGHTS OF 5+ GRAMMES RESULTING IN MANY BECOMING QUICKLY WORN FOREVER.  

HOW OFTEN DO YOU SEE AN LP AS LOVELY AS THIS?

A LITTLE STORY YOU MIGHT ENJOY..... IN 1969 WHEN I WAS AGED 6, MY UNCLE BOB LEFT THE UK FOR A NEW LIFE IN SOUTH AFRICA LEAVING BEHIND 38 SINGLES OF THE LATE 1950s. THEY WERE GIVEN TO ME ALONGWITH MY FIRST RECORD PLAYER. I PLAYED THE 45s OVER AND OVER MUCH TO MY MUM'S ANNOYANCE AND SO THE ROOTS OF WHAT I DO NOW, 40 YEARS LATER HAVE COME FULL CIRCLE, STILL ADORING THIS FANTASTIC, TIMELESS ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC!

BACK TO BUSINESS!!!!!!!  

I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE POSTAGE FOR SEVERAL LPs WON.  

A NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION DISC-SOME MINOR COVER REMOVAL  AND LIGHT SURFACE MARKS IN STRONG LIGHT AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE  BUT THAT IS BEING STRICT WITHOUT ANY FILTERING/MONO SWITCH OR TONE CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS.

I LISTEN WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO DETECT ANY FAULTS.

MY AIM IS THE WINNER WILL GET IT AND CONSIDER IT AS DESCRIBED OR HOPEFULLY BETTER THAN THEY EXPECTED WITH THE OPINION OF MANY THAT THE DISC ITSELF IS NEARER TO MINT THAN EXCELLENT!

PLEASE TAKE SOME TIME TO STUDY MY FEEDBACK AND ALSO NOTE REGULAR BUYERS RETURNING TO ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR MORE KNOWING THEY ARE GOING TO GET CAREFULLY CHECKED ITEMS.

NO JUMPS/NO STICKS/NO HORRIBLE CLICKS/BUMPS OR EVEN SWISHES-A LITTLE SURFACE CRACKLE AT HIGH VOLUME HERE AND THERE THAT REMINDS YOU IT IS A VINYL DISC BUT GENERALLY A VERY FINE SOUNDING DISC THAT I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO OWN AND MY ULTRA STRICT GRADING IS TO BE NOTED!!!!!!!!!!

THE THICK VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT!! 

IT IS  BETTER THAN MOST THAT SURVIVE.

YOU MIGHT HAVE THE TRACKS ON CD BUT THE EXCITING COVER IS ONE TO CHERISH AND WOULD LOOK FANTASTIC IN A FRAME OR JUST TO KEEP FOR INVESTMENT. 

ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE INCLUDED WHICH IS SO OFTEN MISSING!

A SIGN THAT THIS LP HAS SPENT MUCH OF IT'S LIFE INSIDE THE COVER!

PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS- I TRY TO CAPTURE AS ACURATE  PHOTOS AS MY DIGITAL CAMERA CAN PROVIDE!  

ON OFFER AT A REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF £20 WITH NO ANNOYING RESERVE!
