Description

UK 1st Pressing of 'HERE'S LITTLE RICHARD', by Little Richard & His Band. LONDON. (1957).
Has the fully laminated sleeve (front and back), with the orangey-red print on the reverse side. Given how popular this record was it's a miracle how well this has survived!
So hard to find true first pressings of this record. Most we see in the wild are later re-issues.

Sleeve code is HA-C 2055 ~ Labels show HA-0 2055. First issue Matrices on Side1 and Side 2 run-out grooves.
1st issue 'Deep Groove' purple/plum and silver text labels. Labels are in EX+/NM condition. Truly gorgeous.
Sleeve grades EX to EX+. There are some minor issues which I have photographed in detail; a careful glued repair to the front opening edge. (The new owner could use a matching yellow acrylic paint to make this repair almost disappear if wanted).  There is a small area of missing laminate in the same area (see pics). Reverse side of sleeve is stunning. All lamination is intact. Lamination is very slightly aged-toned. But, WOW, this one is quite stunning! It just glows. The vermillion red print is just eye-popping. Such a cool unusual, in-yer-face design for 1957.
Vinyl is amazing, clean and free from any significant marks. Plays beautifully. Loud cut - and quite heavyweight vinyl compared to the later issues. This example will please even the most fussy of collectors. Easily a EX+ grading. Some might even call it Near Mint.
Any questions, please ask. Please view my other listings of other phenomenal records for sale. These are among the last of my personal collection.
