Description

A great opportunity to buy an ORIGINAL copy of a VINYL LP from the 50's by Elvis Presley called "Rock 'n' Roll".

This is Elvis's first U.K. LP and is on the original H.M.V. plum label with Nipper logo in colour and with gold print. It has "The Gramophone Co Ltd" printed at the start of the perimeter text.

A mint copy of this rarity has a current book value of £500.

This is a U.K. pressing released in 1956 on the H.M.V. label (CLP 1093 mono). It has a total of 12 tracks:-

Side One:- Blue Suede Shoes; I Got A Sweetie (I Got A Woman); I'm Counting On You; I'm Left, You're Right, Shes Gone; That's All Right; Money Honey.

Side Two:- Mystery Train; I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Cry (Over You); Tryin' To Get You; One Sided Love Affair; Lawdy, Miss Clawdy; Shake, Rattle And Roll.

Visually the vinyl is in a clean condition, but has obviously been played many times. I always grade records under a strong light and it is clear there are many surface marks on the vinyl, though nothing too deep as far as any scratches are concerned.  Overall I would grade the vinyl as in FAIR condition.

The labels are clean and free from any writing or major defects, though there are many spindle marks evident when viewed from an angle.

The matrix numbers are:- 2XAV 255-1N  and  2XAV 256-1N.

The record is housed within an authentic 1956 H.M.V. poly-lined inner sleeve in VERY GOOD condition, with some fading evident at the opening edge .

The picture cover is a laminated flip-back sleeve, but only in POOR condition I'm afraid. It has not been cared for properly and at some stage has had tears repaired with cellotape and the opening edge has been re-inforced with tape along the complete edge.  There is also a repaired tear on the back cover and an unrepaired tear on the top right corner. The text on the spine is partly visible.

Overall a rare chance to buy this highly collectable 54 year old record and I hope this will still appeal to collectors, even perhaps as a collection-filler.

There is no reserve on this item so please feel free to bid, but winning bidders - please pay promptly. If payment is a problem, then please do not bid. Payment by PayPal is much preferred.

The pictures shown are of the actual item.
