 ROCK'N'ROLL No.2   1957 UK ORIGINAL 1st PRESS LP ELVIS's RAREST BRITISH RELEASE AND SO HARD TO FIND IN ANYTHING LIKE PLAYABLE CONDITION.   1957 HMV RECORDS < CLP 1105 > MONO  
   RECORD CONDITION: Visually grades as Fair.please see photos for indication of how the playing surface has many scuffs and mild scratches. HOWEVER the record plays G+/VG- clear full mono sound with surface crackle and a few pops under the music. There is one split second jump one side one track 3 which does not skip a beat. Overall the record sounds like a 78rpm and still fully enjoyable. Certainly a good collection filler ( an excellent copy will set you back over £500 ) The marks are due to clumsy handling and not overplaying as the clean labels suggest , which have minimal very faint spindle trails.NO feelable scratches . Both labels are clean and bright with fully readable gold print. The record sits flat on the turntable . VERY HEAVY QUALITY BRITISH VINYL PRESSING CLEAN LABELS  SLEEVE: FAIR. One tear to front from bottom seam up to the 'P' in PRESLEY, another by its side a couple of inches . As shown there is a section missing from the opening edge.please see photos for more info on sleeve condition.The lamination is very good and overall the sleeve is clean.   SEE DETAILED GRADING INFORMATION BELOW     LOW START PRICE AND NO RESERVE LOADS MORE RARE ROCK RECORDS LISTED NOW >>>>   DISCOUNTS ON POSTAGE FOR MULTI-BUYS UK - £1.25 EACH ADDITIONAL LP EUROPE - £2.50 EACH ADDITIONAL LP WORLD - £3.50 EACH ADDITIONAL  LP   BEST WISHES FROM JED   Carefully graded as per the uk record collector magazine guidelines. see below...

GRADED TO UK RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE CONDITION GUIDE AS FOLLOWS:

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 or creasing" - this will be a very collectable copy diplaying the odd faint hairline surface / sleeve withdrawal paper marks only with a full original vinyl gloss sheen and clean labels -crisp edges and opening to the sleeve.Most collectors will be delighted with this standard .

VERY GOOD: "The record has obviously been played many times , but displays no major deteriation in sound quality ,despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects ,is acceptable." - this will be a respectable playing copy of the desired record. There may be a slight dulling to the vinyl shine due to faint surface marks- the record will play through well with no skips / jumps or sticks although there may be come light surface noise in the form of crackle /pops under the music especially on the intro and run out . Any audio defects will not spoil the overall enjoyment of the record. -The sleeve amy have a few very minor edge tears / edge wear and possibly some ringwear showing. The opening edge may be a little worn / feathered. Overall a copy worth owning  to ecomomise or await a substitute better copy.

GOOD: "The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriated, perhaps with some distortion and or mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,scuffing of edges ,spine splits, discolouration etc..."  - this will be a collection filler copy. Records in this condition will play through with no skips/jumps or sticks. The appearance of the vinyl will be dulled by fine surface marks.The playback will be slightly distracted by the the surface noise and will sound like a 78 rpm record.I will only offer very rare titles in this condition which belong in cherished collections
