ATTENTION EDDIE COCHRAN,ROCK AND ROLL,LONDON LABEL AND BEATLES COLLECTORS!

AN ORIGINAL MONO MIX 1957 1ST DECCA PRESSED UK LONDON LABEL 1ST PRESSING OF THE 1ST UK ISSUED EDDIE COCHRAN SINGLE:

"20 FLIGHT ROCK"

THE SONG FEATURED IN THE FILM"THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT"AND THE SONG PAUL McCARTNEY PERFORMED TO JOHN LENNON AT THEIR FIRST EVER MEETING AT THE CHURCH FETE IN 1957.IT WAS THIS EVENT THAT IMPRESSED JOHN TO HAVE PAUL JOIN HIS GROUP AND AS SUCH THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT SINGLE FOR ANY BEATLES COLLECTOR TO OWN AS WELL AS BEING ONE OF EDDIE COCHRAN'S HARDEST TO FIND SINGLES!

********************************************************* 

 IN 1957 THE MAJORITY BOUGHT 78 RPM SINGLES,FEWER COPIES WERE SOLD ON 45 RPM WITH HARDLY ANY COPIES SURVIVING IN 2010, 53 YEARS LATER IN PLAYABLE CONDITION!

IT WAS NOT A BIG SELLER,FAILING TO CHART IN THE UK AND ALSO MISSED THE USA TOP 100!!!

LATER COPIES HAVE THE "SILVER TOP" DESIGN BUT MY ONE HERE IS THE VERY FIRST PRESSING!

THIS ONE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH ONLY THE VERY FAINTEST OF TINY,HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER A STRONG LIGHT,BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER-JUST A LITTLE ON THE RUN IN AND THE RUN OUT AND THAT IS IT!!!!!!

NO CLICKS OR DISTORTION-IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS COPY HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS AT ALL!!!!!

THE BEST COPY I HAVE EVER FOUND!!!!.

 LONDON 45-HLU 8386. 1C/1C MATRIXES.

THE"B"SIDE="DARK LONELY STREET" 

REALLY NICE LABELS WITH NO WRITING. 

DECENT SHARP PRINT!

 PUSH OUT TRIANGLE CENTRE INTACT! 

NO SPINDLE WEAR!

THE VINYL IS 100% FLAT WITH NO DENTS!!! 

CLEAN AND CORRECT SHADE OF LONDON COVER-THE VERY SAME ONE THE RECORD CAME IN!!!

NOT THE LATER WHITE AS SO OFTEN USED!.   

THE COVER HAS A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND SOME RING WEAR BUT NO WRITING,NO TEARS,NO REPAIRS OR STAINING!!!!

NOT A NASTY REPRO LIKE SO MANY AROUND!!!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY RARE 1950s 45-

THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

AN EARLY 1ST EDITION WHICH WAS VERY LIMITED AND RARE TO FIND  53 YEARS ON AND AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY EDDIE COCHRAN OR LONDON LABEL 45s COLLECTION!

IT IS MUCH, MUCH HARDER TO FIND THAN OTHER 45s OF THE ERA, WHICH  SOLD BETTER.  

IN 1957,SO OFTEN THE EQUIPMENT USED WOULD RUIN ANY DELICATE 45 RPM DISC WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS!!!

EVEN 78 RPM NEEDLES WERE SOMETIMES USED! 

NO NASTY AUTOCHANGER TYPE SCUFFS AND THE SOUND IS REALLY SPLENDID.

YOU MIGHT HAVE A COPY BUT IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY NOT AS GOOD AS THIS ONE!

THIS COULD BE AN IDEAL MIX AND MATCH OPPORTUNITY!

MINT COPIES TEND TO FETCH AROUND £200 SO A £100 START FOR A NEAR MINT CONDITION COPY IS WELL WORTH GOING FOR AND NOT TO BE MISSED!

AN INSTANT FAST SALE IN ANY COLLECTORS RECORD SHOP OR RECORD FAIR STALL! 

DON'T FORGET THE SOUND OF THIS RECORD IS TESTED WITH VERY STRICT GRADING IN MIND!!

THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY DECENT COPY ON EBAY IN MANY MONTHS-JUST COMPARE WITH JUST ONE OTHER COPY ADVERTISED AT THE MOMENT ON EBAY ADMITTING IT TO BEING A "VG"COPY WITH VARIOUS FAULTS-SUCH COPIES ARE OF LITTLE INTEREST TO SERIOUS COLLECTORS AND ACT AS MERE"BETTER THAN  NOTHING"GAP FILLERS!

MAKE NO MISTAKE,THIS IS A NEAR MINT CONDITION EXAMPLE AND BEARING IN MIND IT'S SCARCITY IS FAR,FAR BETTER THAN MOST COPIES AND COVERS THAT YOU WILL SEE IN 2010 OR LIKELY EVER AGAIN! 

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE 1950s AND 1960s!!!           

Copies of this 45 were being sold in tiny quantities in 1957 and so how many survive IN PLAYABLE CONDITION AND LIKE THIS UPGRADER STANDARD 45??!!!!!!

MOST THAT TURN UP ARE TOTALLY WRECKED. 

In those early days with LIMITED exposure on Radio and TV, POP 45s were carefully considered and saved for items,many fans not getting THE TRACKS until they were reissued on LPs AND EPs much later.  

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear EDDIE COCHRAN and always will be!  

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is no spindle wear!!!

EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN HAS HAD SOME BUT THESE LABELS ARE QUITE STUNNING!!!!!! 

NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of major faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "MINT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS!
