AN ORIGINAL 1957 HMV"GOLD PRINT"LABEL MONO 1ST UK PRESSING OF AN ESSENTIAL ELVIS PRESLEY ALBUM"ROCK'N'ROLL NO.2"(HIS 2ND UK LP) IN GOOD+++ CONDITION WITH SOME MARKS,MOSTLY SURFACE MARKS AND SOME SURFACE NOISE/DISTORTION AND A FEW SHORT LIVED CLICKS,A FEW SHORT LIVED"GROOVE HISS"(LASTING A FEW SECONDS) BUT PLAYS WELL WITH A STRICT"GOOD++"GRADING-NO JUMPS OR STICKS!THICK,FLAT VINYL AND THE REGAL LOOKING HMV GOLD PRINT LABELS THAT WOULD END LATER THE SAME YEAR-1957,JUST MONTHS LATER WHEN RCA GOT AN INDIVIDUAL LABEL DEAL FROM EMI'S MAJOR RIVAL DECCA,FORCING EMI TO DELETE THIS LP AFTER ONLY ABOUT SIX MONTHS IN THE SHOPS WHICH IS WHY THIS LP HAS A MUCH HIGHER MINT VALUE,USUALLY SUGGESTED £700!!!

CHECK OUT MY LOW START OF JUST £25!

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A DIFFERENT COPY TO THE ONE I SOLD A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WHICH WAS IN SIMILAR CONDITION-SEE THE FEEDBACK FOR IT,PROOF OF MY STRICT GRADING 

THERE ARE SOME SHORT LIVED  REVOLUTION TYPE"SWISHES"BUT MOST OF THE TIME THE SURFACE NOISE IS NOT THAT NOTICABLE!

THE SURFACE MARKS ARE MOSTLY THE COVER REMOVAL TYPE AND SIGNS OF CLEANING BUT NO HORRIBLE LARGE SCUFFS! SOUNDS FINE!

DON'T BE PUT OFF BY OTHER SELLERS"GOOD++"GRADING!!!! 

I HAVE LISTENED FOUR TIMES WITH THE TREBLE ON USING TWO DIFFERENT DECKS TO ENSURE CAREFUL GRADING!

THERE IS SOME DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS ON SOME OF THE TRACKS BUT WITH SOME ADJUSTMENT TO THE TREBLE CONTROL AND IT IS CONSIDERABLY REDUCED-A MONO FILTER SWITCH WOULD BOUND TO CUT IT DOWN-SADLY I DON'T HAVE ONE.

PROVIDING THE ABOVE COMMENTS ARE NOTED,I AM SURE WHO EVER GETS THIS WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE SOUND OF IT-IT WILL BE BETTER THAN A GAP FILLER UNTIL ANOTHER ONE COMES ALONG AND OF COURSE NEAR MINT OR EVEN EXCELLENT ONES ARE GETTING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND,54 YEARS ON!

A REAL PIECE OF HISTORY AT A ROCK BOTTOM PRICE START! 

THIS IS THE 1ST EVER UK ISSUE.A 1957 EMI PRESSED HMV CLP 1105 +1N/1N MATRIXES-EARLIEST POSSIBLE + THE ORIGINAL,CLEAN AND CORRECT"TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR RECORDS"SQUARED TEXT INNER SLEEVE.

THE COVER IS A BIT OF A  DISASTER AS WITH ALMOST EVERY COVER I HAVE FOUND,PROBABLY DUE TO THE WAFER THIN CARD USED BUT IT IS BETTER THAN NOTHING......JUST ABOUT!!!

THERE ARE SOME NASTY LARGE RIPS WHERE IT HAS BEEN CAUGHT AGAINST SOME OTHER LPs.

THERE ARE SOME  SELLOTAPE REPAIRS AT THE EDGES,SOME LAMINATION PEELING,HOWEVER ALL OF THE SLEEVE NOTES CAN BE READ,USUALLY LARGE CHUNKS ARE MISSING!

NO WRITING!

WITH SOME CARE AND ATTENTION THE RIPS COULD BE TAPED AND THIS IS TOO RARE AN LP TO PASS BY IN ANY PLAYABLE CONDITION-ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE AT ALL!

THE COVER MAY BE RIPPED BUT AT LEAST ALL THE TEXT CAN BE READ BUT PLEASE BE AWARE OF THESE FAULTS BEFORE BIDDING!  

 IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ACURATE GRADED ORIGINAL 1957 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP- THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!  

VERY STRICT GOOD++ CONDITION.  

THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

  IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD  EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

IDEAL IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THE SKY HIGH PRICE FOR AN EXCELLENT OR BETTER CONDITION COPY IF YOU CAN FIND ONE!

SOMETIMES COPIES HAVE VAGUE DESCRIPTIONS-MINE HAVE IN DEPTH AND TRUTHFUL GRADES SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!

SOME COPIES ARE CLASSED AS POOR AND ARE NO MORE THAN GAP FILLERS LIKELY TO PRODUCE DREADFUL SOUND QUALITY! 

BACK IN 1957 WHEN THIS LP WAS MADE, THE MAJORITY OF EQUIPMENT USED RUINED ANY COPY WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS.DON'T FORGET THOSE PARTIES WHERE SUCH LPs WERE PLAYED AND ENDED UP LEFT LYING AROUND WITHOUT A COVER OR ON A TURNTABLE TO WARP AND ATTRACT DUST AND DIRT,SPILLAGES,SCUFFS,SCRATCHES etc etc.

BACK IN 1957 MANY FANS ONLY HAD 78 RPM EQUIPMENT AND OF COURSE THIS LP WAS DELETED AT THE END OF 1957,LESS THAN A YEAR LATER WHEN RCA CHANGED TO DECCA IN THE UK FORCING EMI TO DELETE THIS LP! 

SO BACK TO THE DISC>>>>>> 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION! THIS COPY IS A VERY STRONG,GOOD++ CONDITION GRADING-FAR FROM IMMACULATE BUT PLAYS REALLY WELL!

 I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH. MANY EBAY SELLERS DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO PLAY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SELL!!!

BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!!!! 

There is a little spindle wear.Lovely labels-NO WRITING OR MAJOR FADING/STAINING-SEE PHOTO #3!!! 

Look elsewhere on ebay and you might see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often later represses on the RCA LABEL or lower grade copies with all manner of MAJOR faults OR WITHOUT THE DETAIL I AM PROVIDING WITH TOTAL HONESTY.

HOPEFULLY THE WINNER WILL FIND THIS COPY FAR BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!

Don't forget GENUINE 1957 UK HMV pressings in nice conditions are getting hard to find! 

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!
