Description

Well, if you are reading this, you will probably be aware that this is one of Buddy Holly's rarest EPs - released in the US in April 1958 by Decca Records to "cash in" on his earliest studio sessions after Buddy had found fame (but sadly not fortune!) with Norman Petty & Coral Records.

The vinyl has some hairline marks but nothing significant, and the labels are in excellent condition with no marks or writing.

The original sleeve looks Ok from the front and back but there is an approximately four inch split along the seam at the top & a half inch one at the bottom (both from the opening edge) and there is some damage to the spine. There is also very light writing on the Decca logo on the front (I can't decipher what it says) and the number "150" is written very, very faintly on the back (top left corner) - see photos.

However, if you can overlook these flaws with the sleeve, this is a decent copy of a very hard to find EP - and for sale from the UK, so no import charges to pay for EU bidders - so UK and European bidders only (sorry if you are reading this and based elsewhere!)

Note - I will send this by "special delivery" in the UK or International "Tracked & Signed".
