BILL HALEY and his COMETS
"LIVE IT UP!"
LONDON H-APB 1042
1955
1st UK PRESSING 10" LONG PLAY
VINYL VG LOTS OF SURFACE MARKS BUT NO DEEP SCRATCHES. THESE SURFACE MARKS ARE MAINLY SCUFFS AND LOOK MUCH WORSE THEY PLAY. PLEASE STUDY MY SCANS. DISC PLAYS WITH A LOW SURFACE NOISE BUT THE REPRODUCTION COMES OVER LOUD AND STRONG. I HAVE GRADED AND PRICED ACCORDINGLY. WELL USED LP BUT HAS GLOSS & SHINE DESPITE THIS. NO CLICKS or JUMPS
GOOD CLEAN LABELS - NICE SILVER PRINT
SLEEVE: I GRADE THIS VG. MINOR EDGE SPLITS - PLEASE SEE SCANS. INTACT LAMINATION BOTH SIDES. SOME CREASING. STILL VIBRANT IN COLOUR.
THIS COPY IS A COLLECTION PIECE, BUT PLAYS VERY NICELY, SO A DEFINITE PLAYER TOO. I'M DESCRIBING THIS DISC AS THOROUGHLY AS I CAN, I WANT NO DISAPPOINTMENTS. BUT LET ME SAY, THIS IS FAR FROM A ROUGH OR FAIR COPY. THIS IS A STRONG COPY. JUST NOT TOP GRADE.
THIS LP WAS ISSUED IN THE UK IN MID-1955. EVEN THE WORDS "ROCK 'N' ROLL" ARE NEVER MENTIONED IN THE SLEEVE NOTES. THIS CRAZY MUSIC WENT ON SALE BEFORE - WAY BEFORE - THE BIG BEAT HIT BRITAIN. IT'S ALL HERE, SLAPPING DRIVING BASS, HONKING SAXES (EVEN A BARITONE, RARE ON HALEY RECORDS), WILD GUITAR, PIANO AND STEEL. ALL 8 TRACKS ARE ROCK MASTERPIECES, RECORDED BEFORE HALEY GOT INTO NURSERY RHYMES. IF THE COMETS HAD NOT STRUCK IT BIG SOON AFTER WITH 'ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK' THIS LP WOULD BE WORTH A LOT MORE. SEMINAL EARLY ROCK 'N' ROLL. EVERY TRACK IS A WINNER.
