	£		23

ATTENTION HANK WILLIAMS,10 INCH LPs,1950s AMERICAN COUNTRY COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS! 

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST EDITION OF AN ALBUM THAT IS RARELY SEEN ESPECIALLY AS OUTSTANDING AS THIS 1ST EDITION EXAMPLE WITH MOST TURNING UP AS AMERICAN PRESSINGS OR REISSUES! 

ONE OF THE BEST EVER UK ISSUED HANK WILLIAMS LPs!   "MOANIN' THE BLUES". 

8 TRACKS RECORDED IN THE EARLY 1950s AND ISSUED 58 YEARS AGO IN 1956 AT A TIME WHEN MANY BUYERS WERE STILL STICKING WITH 78s.  IT WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A YEAR OF ISSUE DUE TO LIMITED PROMOTION,EXPOSURE AND SALES! 10 BRILLIANT  WELL KNOWN HANK WILLIAMS TRACKS!

THIS IS THE EARLIEST UK MONO PRESSING ON THE STYLISH EMI PRESSED MGM AND "GROOVED" LABELS. LATER REPRESSES FROM A FEW MONTHS LATER DID NOT HAVE THE GROOVE AND THINNER VINYL! THIS COPY HAS BEAUTIFULLY THICK VINYL!  

MGM-D-144 WITH 1N/2N MATRIXES. ALMOST EVERY COPY LIKE THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED A LOT. THE COVER WOULD HAVE STICKERS,WRITING AND OTHER DAMAGE OR DEFACEMENT SPOILING IT'S GLORY! 

THIS COPY IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST SURVIVING UK 1ST EDITION PRESSING EXAMPLES IN THE WORLD.

STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION! 

THE VINYL IS THICK AND GLEAMS WITH ONLY FAINT SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE IN VERY STRONG LIGHT! NO SPINDLE WEAR OR EVIDENCE OF MUCH PLAY!   TRULY EXCEPTIONAL STUNNINGLY CLEAR SOUND QUALITY! ONLY SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE-NOT TOO OBTRUSIVE! THE SOLID MONO MIXES HAVE A DEPTH AND WARMTH THAT IS OFTEN MISSING ON THE "SPREAD OUT STEREO" REMIXES WHICH ARE INFACT FAKE STEREO.  SERIOUSLY RARE AS A GENUINE FIRST UK PRESS!  STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION AS I PLAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO ENSURE ACURATE GRADING FOR CONFIDENT BIDDING! FANTASTIC WARM,RICH,SOLID MONO SOUND. PLENTY OF BASS! THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS UNLIKE MOST COVERS OF THIS AGE ALTHOUGH THERE IS A LITTLE WEAR AT THE EDGES,SOME STAINING AT THE BACK AND SOME TINY EDGE CREASES BUT VERY PRESENTABLE FOR 58 YEARS OLD! 

INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT POLYLINED "EMITEX" INNER SLEEVE! 

BID WITH CONFIDENCE!    

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THIS RECORD ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION AND NOT CLEARLY GRADED. JUST ONE OWNER FROM NEW,THE LATE PETER NEWBROOK WHO HAD A MASSIVE COLLECTION WITH MANY DUPLICATES SUCH AS USA/UK ISSUE VARIANTS,HENCE THIS STAGGERING AND MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.THOSE THAT DID HAVE PLAYS WERE ON TOP OF THE RANGE PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT AND CAREFULLY STORED WITH MOST OF HIS RECORDS ON STURDY SHELVING IN HIS TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED ARCHIVE-BARELY BEING PLAYED IN MANY YEARS!

PETER NEWBROOK WAS A JAZZ MUSICIAN,WRITER,RECORD REVIEWER ON JAZZ,A FILM DIRECTOR AND THE OWNER OF THE BRITISH JAZZ LABEL ESQUIRE WHICH ISSUED MANY BRITISH,AMERICAN AND CONTINENTAL RECORDINGS AND AS SUCH HAD MANY STRONG CONTACTS,KNEW MANY JAZZ MUSICIANS AND FRIENDS IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS IN THE UK AND USA WHO WOULD SEND HIM EARLY ADVANCE COPIES OF RECORDS FOR HIS OPINIONS AND APPROVAL-THE MAJORITY ADDED TO HIS SHELVES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS IF THAT AS HE WAS A VERY BUSY MAN INDEED! I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY MOST OF HIS VAST COLLECTION SEVERAL YEARS BACK AS LONG TERM EBAYERS AND JAZZ COLLECTORS WILL RECALL.  NATURALLY AS A LONG TERM COLLECTOR AND JAZZ FAN MYSELF,I COULDN'T RESIST KEEPING SOME OF THEM BUT I AM PRUNING DOWN AGAIN WITH THE NEED FOR SPACE SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THESE TOP QUALITY RARITIES WHICH MAY NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN AS GOOD AS THESE EXAMPLES!

DEALERS AND COLLECTORS TRAVEL FOR MANY MILES TO VISIT ME-MOST NOT EVEN ASKING TO EXAMINE MY RECORDS AS THEY TRUST MY VERY STRICT JUDGEMENT AND GRADINGS! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS COPY IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THAT IS BEING VERY STRICT!

NO JUMPS!/NO STICKS!/NO NASTY  CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!How many were preserved like this one-??

HARDLY USED AND NOT SERIOUSLY ABUSED!!!!!!

The 1950s equipment was often basic with much heavier tonearms than later lightweight pickups.

This LP has clearly been very well cared for on lightweight  high quality equipment.  

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

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

I HAVE PLAYED IT TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

IT IS STILL FAR BETTER THAN MOST AROUND! 

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 VERY NICE 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 EXCELLENT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EX"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.  

THE LP AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING VERY STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY ALL OF THE PHOTOS!
