This is a copy of the 7" 45 rpm single Heartbreak Hotel / I Was The One by Elvis Presley, first pressing UK issue from 1956 on His Master's Voice 7M 385.
The stamped matrix numbers are 7XAV 1422 - 1N and 7XAV 1423 - 1N
The vinyl appears to be Very Good condition (see grading system). There are surface lines and handling marks but the record plays very well on both sides with no playback issues aside from usual background crackle. No clicks, pops or skips. The labels are as pictured. As you can see, there is a small pen mark on the b-side.
The original HMV company paper sleeve has some writing, as pictured. It's 100% intact with no splits, sellotape, stickers or tears.
Comes from a smoke free home.
I ship in well-packaged envelopes using recorded delivery. Please e-mail me with any questions.
Grading System:
Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items are in perfect condition. Records advertised as sealed or un-played should be mint. I and many other dealers will ONLY grade a record as mint if it is sealed because few open records are truly perfect!
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
Fair: The record is still just playable but it has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
