THERE ARE SOME SHORT LIVED SURFACE"PATCHES"CAUSING SOME SHORT LIVED REVOLUTION TYPE"SWISHES"NOTICABLE ON THE LAST HALF OF THE LAST TRACK"SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL"AND SOME FAINTER SWISHES ON A COUPLE OF THE OTHER TRACKS BUT MOST OF THE TIME THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE!

THE ODD"POP"AND ISOLATED"CLICK"

THE SURFACE MARKS ARE THE COVER REMOVAL TYPE AND SIGNS OF CLEANING BUT NO HORRIBLE LARGE SCUFFS,NO DEEP MARKS THAT YOU CAN FEEL-A NUMBER OF MOSTLY SMALL SURFACE MARKS BUT NOT A TOTALLY FILLED DISC OF MARKS AS SO OFTEN THE CASE!

IT LOOKS VERY PRESENTABLE! SOUNDS FINE!

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

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

THERE IS ONLY A LITTLE DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS AND 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,55 YEARS ON! 

THIS IS THE 1ST EVER UK ISSUE.A 1956 EMI PRESSED HMV CLP 1093 +1N/1N MATRIXES-EARLIEST POSSIBLE + THE ORIGINAL,CLEAN AND CORRECT"TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR RECORDS"SQUARED TEXT INNER SLEEVE.

THE COVER HAS A NUMBER OF FAULTS AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH AN LP THAT MOST BUYERS WOULD HAVE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

THERE ARE SOME SMALL SELLOTAPE REPAIRS,SOME OF THE SELLOTAPE BEING REMOVED LEAVING BEHIND SOME STAINING,QUITE A FEW TINY EDGE TEARS HOWEVER ALL OF THE SLEEVE NOTES CAN BE READ,USUALLY LARGE CHUNKS ARE MISSING!

NO WRITING AND ALTHOUGH FAR FROM WONDERFUL IS STILL BETTER THAN MOST. 

 IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ACURATE GRADED ORIGINAL 1956 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP- THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!  

VERY GOOD++ CONDITION.

  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 1956 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 1956 MANY FANS ONLY HAD 78 RPM EQUIPMENT AND OF COURSE THIS LP WAS DELETED AT THE END OF 1957,JUST ONE 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,VERY GOOD++ CONDITION GRADING--FAR FROM IMMACULATE BUT PLAYS REALLY NICELY!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear this great music AND ALWAYS WILL BE!

GREAT SOUND!  MORE BASS THAN CD! 

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 A BIT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!

Don't forget GENUINE 1956 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!
