The record labels are in BRILLIANT condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear (apart from some light rubbing/fading to the Gold Print at the bottom of each label - NO actual label damage!), and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  The record is in GREAT condition overall!!!!  Most of these 50s singles had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This record is NOT and has NO scratches, only 3 or 4 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  The record also has a VERY slight 'sheen' to it under light - though I havent a clue what this is caused by (perhaps storage, or even the original pressing?).  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is GREAT to find that the record plays almost as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO nasty loud pops, NO jumps, NO sticks, and only some INCREDIBLY low level touches of background crackle in a VERY few places (NO nasty loud 'frying bacon' type crackle - GUARANTEED!)!!!!  However though most of the record plays fine with barely ANY surface noise AT ALL - there is some audible surface noise at the beginning of the B side - though it fades relatively quickly.  And again - like the 'sheen' mentioned above - I have looked VERY carefully at the grooves on this part of the record and I can NOT see any groovewear AT ALL!!!!  So perhaps it would benefit from a clean?  Either way - finding the EARLIEST 1st Pressing EVER made is simply IMPOSSIBLE!!!!  The record MUST grade visually Very Good+ if not better - though the playing grade is obviously less than this for the reason given above.  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!!!!  This record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press HMV Company Sleeve which is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition (NO edge splits, etc)!!!!  THIS SINGLE IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ULTRA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
