The Cat. No is DLP 1159 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press HMV label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 50s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO nasty deep feelable scratches, only 2 or 3 light scufflines, NO hairlines, only 2 or 3 surface marks, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO nasty loud pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO sticking, NO jumps, and only some very VERY slight touches of background crackle in places (though this is ALWAYS very VERY low level indeed, and that is absolutely NO 'frying bacon' type crackle on this record AT ALL!)!!!!  There is also barely ANY distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Take Good Care Of Your Records' Square Text 'Thicker Paper' inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Half-Moon' Flipback FULLY Laminated MONO Cover is in GREAT condition - and for once is very VERY decent indeed!!!!  It has NO edge splits, NO annotations, NO edge wear (apart from 3 or 4 absolutely TINY stains on the top edge!), NO spinal wear (side words FULLY readable!), only slight corner wear, some clear evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners (see pictures), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), VERY shiny laminate, only 1 small area of laminate loss on the opening edge (NO cover damage AT ALL!), and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the laminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, only some almost INVISIBLE traces of laminate loss near the opening edge (NO cover damage AT ALL!), NO yellowing, NO flipback loss, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better and is very VERY presentable indeed, and way WAY better than the usual 'trashed' examples that occasionally show up!!!!  In fact, I am certain most would grade even higher still - especially now this LP is 56 years old!!!!  However I have NOT 'compensated' for age - and this cover has been very VERY strictly graded indeed, exactly as I would do for ANY cover!!!!  A VERY DECENT COVER INDEED!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
