***************************************************************

RCA STARTED THEIR OWN LABEL IN 1957,PRESSED UP BY EMI'S MAIN RIVAL DECCA AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MOST OF THE TRACKS WERE ISSUED IN THE UK WITH THE RCA LABEL. 

 1B/1B MATRIXES 

REALLY NICE LABELS!

DECENT PRINT!

HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR!

THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSING!

NO OTHER PRESSING EXISTS BEFORE THIS ONE!

ONE OF THE VERY FIRST OFF THE UK PRINT RUN!!!! 

DECCA PRESSED RCA RD 27120 

GLOSSY FRONT SLEEVE+ FLIPBACK!

(FULL DETAILS BELOW)!!!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A RARE ELVIS LP -THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

AN EARLY 1ST EDITION WHICH WAS VERY LIMITED AND RARE TO FIND OVER 50 YEARS ON AND AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY ELVIS PRESLEY COLLECTION!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL UNPLAYABLE CONDITION.

THIS COPY HAS SEEN MANY PLAYS WITH MANY(MOSTLY) SURFACE  MARKS,SOME LIGHT CLICKS,BUT MAINLY THE GENERAL"BACON AND EGGS"TYPE SURFACE NOISE,NOTHING MAJOR,INFACT MANY TRACKS HAVE HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AT ALL!

THERE IS SLIGHT DISTORTION AT A FEW OF THE SOUND "PEAKS".

DESPITE THIS, THERE ARE NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS AND ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAD A LOT OF USE, IT IS A VERY DECENT GAP FILLER AND IS GRADED AS VERY GOOD MINUS CONDITION!

NOT QUITE VG BUT FAR, FAR BETTER THAN THE GOOD GRADE!

IT IS MOSTLY SURFACE MARKS AND LIGHT SMALL SCUFFS,THE GROOVES DO NOT"LOOK WORN"AND WITH SOME SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE TONE CONTROLS THE DISTORTION PEAKS ARE LESS NOTICABLE AND THE SOUND IS PRETTY GOOD.

ON AN OLDER DECK OR THE USE OF A MONO FILTER SWITCH WOULD PROBABLY MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE!

THE COVER HAS SOME EDGE CREASES,A TINY PIECE OF THE FLIPBACK MISSING,BACK BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.SOME LAMINATION PEELING AT THE EDGES,AN EDGE TEAR AT THE BACK MEASURING 2CM, TOP EDGE CENTRAL SPLIT MEASURING 4CM.

NO WRITING AND CONSIDERING THE AGE AND THE WAFER THIN CARD USED IS BETTER THAN MANY COPIES THAT TURN UP.

YOU MIGHT HAVE A DECENT DISC WITH A POOR COVER!

THIS COULD BE AN IDEAL MIX AND MATCH OPPORTUNITY!

MINT COPIES TEND TO FETCH AROUND £75 SO A £10 START AT JUST A FRACTION OF THE MINT VALUE IS WELL WORTH GOING FOR! 

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE 1950s AND 1960s!!! 

AN ORIGINAL MONO 1ST EDITION FROM 1959 OF THE WONDERFUL  ALBUM ISSUED ON THE UK DECCA PRESSED RCA SILVER CIRCLE LABEL .               

THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings from a few years later .This ESSENTIAL  LP pressed within the first few WEEKS of issue from 1959 when ELVIS was  global in popularity and in the army,hence this handy roundup of earlier glories!

SONGS THAT WOULD INFLUENCE MILLIONS OF OTHER MUSICIANS.

AN INCREDIBLE LP THAT STILL SOUNDS EXCITING 50 YEARS ON! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN VERY GOOD MINUS CONDITION WITH MOSTLY SURFACE MARKS AND  A FEW DISTORTION PEAKS HERE AND THERE BUT THAT IS BEING STRICT!

I DO NOT NORMALLY SELL LPs WITH SOME MARKS AND A FEW SMALL SCUFFS+ SURFACE NOISE UNLESS THEY ARE VERY RARE LIKE THIS ONE AND BEING A FIRST PRESSING IS BOUND TO BE ACCEPTABLE TO MANY AS A DECENT GAP FILLER BUT YOU MAY HAVE TO WAIT A LONG TIME TO FIND ANOTHER ONE OR PAY A LOT MORE!!

Copies of this album were being sold in huge quantities but how many survive??!!!!!!

MOST THAT TURN UP ARE TOTALLY WRECKED AND HAVE POOR COVERS. 

THIS ONE COULD WELL BE IN THE VERY FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE! 

In those early days with LIMITED exposure on Radio and TV, POP LPs were carefully considered and saved for items,many fans not getting THIS LP until the end of 1959.  

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear Elvis and always will be!  

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT THREE TIMES TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is HARDLY ANY spindle wear!!!

EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN HAS HAD SOME BUT THESE LABELS ARE QUITE STUNNING!!!!!! 

NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!

PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS.

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of major faults. 

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!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN A VERY GOOD MINUS CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "GOOD"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

ORIGINAL  INNER SLEEVE.  

AN OUTER PVC COVER WILL BE SUPPLIED.

THE LP ITSELF AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS!
