	£		20

ATTENTION BUDDY HOLLY,ROCK AND ROLL & 1950s  #1 HITS COLLECTORS!

THIS IS SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!

MOST WOULD STATE NEAR MINT CONDITION!

A VERY IMPORTANT RECORD TO ANY BUDDY HOLLY,#1 HITS OR ROCK AND ROLL COLLECTOR!THE VERY EARLIEST UK PRESSING OF THE 1957 UK #1+USA #1 HIT SINGLE:"THAT'LL BE THE DAY"-LABELLED AS THE CRICKETS  BUT OF COURSE FEATURING BUDDY HOLLY.

AS YOU WILL SEE THIS PRESSING IS ON THE SHORT LIVED VOGUE-CORAL LABEL THAT WAS CHANGED TO JUST CORAL WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE-ONLY THE FIRST BATCHES HAD THE FIRST LABEL DESIGN AND THIS HAS IT'S TRIANGLE CENTRE INTACT AND THE ORIGINAL CORRECT SEPIA COVER WITH NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! THE"B"SIDE= "I'M LOOKIN' FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE"

BUDDY HOLLY WAS A MAJOR INFLUENCE ON THE BEATLES,THE ROLLING STONES AND SO MANY MORE-THE BEATLES NAMED THEMSELVES AFTER THE CRICKETS WITH THE EARLIEST RECORDING MADE BY THE BEATLES BEING A VERSION OF "THAT'LL BE THE DAY" AND AS SUCH THIS 45 COULD BE OF GREAT INTEREST TO BEATLES COLLECTORS.

DECCA PRESSED VOGUE-CORAL LABELS:45-Q 72279+THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1C/1C MATRIXES AND THE TRIANGLE CENTRES WHICH WERE REPLACED WITH ROUND CENTRES ON LATER REPRESSES FROM A YEAR OR SO LATER. 

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST COPIES I HAVE EVER SEEN AS A GENUINE FIRST EDITION FROM 55 YEARS AGO! OF COURSE IN 1957 THE MAJORITY WERE BUYING BUDDY HOLLY AND THE CRICKETS RECORDS IN THE 10 INCH 78 RPM FORMAT! 

THE DISC HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH NO SURFACE MARKS BUT GRADED AS EXCELLENT DUE TO A LITTLE DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS WHEN HEARD AT HIGH VOLUME WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON BUT THAT IS BEING VERY STRICT AND THE DISC STILL PLAYS VERY NICELY!   

THE DISC HAS ONLY A COUPLE OF THE VERY FAINTEST AND TINIEST OF SURFACE MARKS IN VERY STRONG LIGHT AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE WHEN HEARD AT HIGH VOLUME AND WITH THE TREBLE ON-NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO JUMPS-PLAYS SUPERB!  VERY CLEAN LABELS+THE CLEANLINESS OF THE COVER IS TRULY AMAZING! NO WRITING OR FADING,NO STAINING-JUST SOME TINY EDGE CREASES! THE LABELS ARE SHARP,BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH NO FADING,NO STAINING,NO WRITING,HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR.

TO FIND AN EXCELLENT CONDITION EXAMPLE AS IN THIS CASE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AND AS SUCH THE STARTING PRICE IS £10 BUT DO EXPECT KEEN INTEREST IN THIS AUCTION ON A RECORD WHICH WOULD BE A JOY TO OWN AND I SHALL BE SAD TO SEE IT GO.

JUST ONE OWNER SINCE 1957.I WOULD ESTIMATE A DOZEN PLAYS!

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES I HAVE EVER SEEN IN 26 YEARS AS A DEALER! FAR BETTER THAN MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE!

 A LOW,REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF JUST £10. THIS COULD BE YOUR VERY LAST CHANCE TO OWN ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL BUDDY HOLLY 45s!

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!
