	£		56

ATTENTION ELVIS PRESLEY COLLECTORS AND DEALERS WHO MAY REQUIRE A MIX AND MATCH OPPORTUNITY FOR A VERY RARE RECORD!

HERE IS THE EARLIEST ISSUE OF THE VERY FIRST GROUNDBREAKING ELVIS PRESLEY DEBUT LP. SIMPLY CALLED:"ROCK'N'ROLL" ISSUED ON THE MAGNIFICENT,REGAL LOOKING HIS MASTER'S VOICE LABEL WAY BACK IN 1956.

YES! THIS ALBUM IS NOW 57 YEARS OLD AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIRST EVER ROCK AND ROLL LPs TO BE ISSUED IN THE UK AS WELL AS ONE OF THE BEST ELVIS LPs EVER! A VERY IMPORTANT ALBUM IN ANY ROCK MUSIC COLLECTION!

 IT ONLY TURNS UP ONCE IN A BLUE MOON AND THIS ONE PLAYS VERY NICELY INDEED HAVING LISTENED TO IT AT HIGH VOLUME TWICE!

ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDING AND LOOKING DISCS I HAVE FOUND IN MANY YEARS AS FAR AS THE VINYL IS CONCERNED-THE COVER IS POOR BUT IF YOU HAVE A NICE COVER BUT POOR RECORD-THIS COULD MAKE A SUPERB MIX AND MATCH/UPGRADE OPPORTUNITY SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE! EMI PRESSED HIS MASTER'S VOICE CLP 1093 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES. LOVELY CLEAN LABELS-SLIGHT SPINDLE WEAR BUT SHARP PRINTING-NO WRITING,RIPS,STAINS ETC. UNLIKE LATER REISSUES USING FAKE ELECTRONIC STEREO WHICH ADDED HORRIBLE EXTRA ECHO OR UNEVEN BASS ON ONE SPEAKER-THIS ORIGINAL LP IS IN SOLID MONO! THICK VINYL. STRICTLY GRADED AS VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS,A COUPLE OF SHORT LIVED FAINT CLICKS AT HIGH VOLUME, BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE-JUST SOME LIGHT CRACKLE AT HIGH VOLUME BUT NO HORRIBLE LOUD SWISHES,NO STICKS OR JUMPS! GREAT SOUND! THE VINYL STILL HAS A LOVELY "SHEEN" TO IT! THERE IS A LITTLE DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS WHEN LISTENING AS I DO WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO HEAR IT AT IT'S WORSE BUT THIS STILL PLAYS GREAT AND FAR BETTER THAN MOST LPs OF 57 YEARS AGO AND OF COURSE MOST ELVIS FANS WHO COULD AFFORD THIS LP,PLAYED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN! THIS COPY HAS BEEN PLAYED A NUMBER OF TIMES AND ENJOYED BUT SOUNDS VIBRANT AND PUNCHY! PLENTY OF BASS!THERE IS STILL THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "TAKE GOOD CARE" TEXT ON ONE SIDE AS SUPPLIED IN 1956.  THERE WAS MINIMAL SALES FOR THIS LP ISSUED AT A TIME WHEN HARDLY ANY ELVIS FANS IN THE UK HAD EQUIPMENT TO PLAY LPs! REMEMBER THAT THE MID 1950s LPs AND EQUIPMENT WERE EXPENSIVE-THE FEW THAT WERE SOLD TENDED TO BE CLASSICAL OR EASY LISTENING-MOST ROCK AND ROLL FANS STUCK WITH 78s UNTIL THE END OF THE 1950s. THIS LP WAS NOT IN PRINT FOR LONG DUE TO RCA IN THE UK GETTING AN INDIVIDUAL RCA LABEL WHEN DECCA TOOK OVER IN 1957,LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER THIS HMV LP WAS ISSUED,CONSEQUENTLY BEING DELETED IN THE SUMMER OF 1957!

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO,THE COVER IS POOR WITH PIECES MISSING,SOME RATHER BASIC REPAIRS AS WELL SOME TEARS AND RIPS BUT DESPITE THIS NO WRITING AND ALL THE SLEEVE NOTES ARE COMPLETE AND CAN BE EASILY READ-THE WAFER THIN CARD USED ON THIS LP IS THE MAIN REASON WHY THE MAJORITY TURN UP LIKE THIS BUT OF COURSE FAR BETTER TO HAVE A REALLY NICE COPY OF THE DISC!

YOUNGER COLLECTORS OR THOSE ON A STRICT BUDGET CAN USUALLY ONLY DREAM OF OWNING THIS RECORD-HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A GENUINE PIECE OF MUSIC HISTORY!

  A LOW REALISTIC £20 STARTING PRICE.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many ELVIS collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

SHARP,CLEAN LABELS!   

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
