BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL - IS THAT IT IS QUITE LITERALLY THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!!!!  AND THIS IS TRULY ALMOST UNHEARD OF ON THIS LP!!!!  IT HAS SOME INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCES THAT ALL LATER COPIES NEVER HAD!!!!  AND DONT UNDERESTIMATE THE SHEER RARITY OF THIS LP!!!!  FOR ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WERE EVER MADE LIKE THIS - BEFORE ALL THE DIFFERENCES WERE CORRECTED!!!!  HERE ARE THE AMAZING 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS DIFFERENCES BELOW:-

1) THE COVER FRONT DISPLAYS A 'LARGE STEREO' IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER (THIS WAS MADE SMALLER AFTER THE FIRST 300 COPIES!)

2) "WHAT KIND OF GIRL ARE YOU" IS CREDITED TO 'CAPEHART-CAMPBELL' ON THE LABELS AND THE COVER - WHEREAS ON LATER COPIES IT WAS CORRECTED TO 'CHARLES'!

3) "TALKIN' 'BOUT YOU" IS CREDITED TO 'CHARLES' AND APPEARS ON THE LABELS AND COVER AS "TALKIN' 'BOUT YOU" - WHEREAS ON LATER COPIES IT WAS CORRECTED TO 'BERRY' AND APPEARS AS "I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU"!

4) THE LABELS HAVE NO 'SOLD IN THE UK' ON THE LABELS (LATER ONES DID!)

5) THE RECORD HAS 1/1 STEREO MATRIXES, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1G/1G MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS ASWELL - SHOWING THAT IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST 300 COPIES EVER MADE - AND QUITE LITERALLY THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!! 

SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL, THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST STEREO 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET - AND BARELY ANY CAN POSSIBLY BE LEFT IN EXISTENCE TODAY - AS ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WERE EVER MADE!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION - AND IS STILL A VERY DECENT EXAMPLE INDEED!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1964 UK STEREO 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1/1 STEREO MATRIX ENDINGS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1G/1G MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS DIFFERENT CREDITS TO THE COVER & LABELS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS EMITEX INNER SLEEVE, AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK LAMINATED 'PATENTS PENDING' STEREO COVER (WITH 'LARGE' STEREO ON THE COVER FRONT!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Parlophone UK 1st Pressing from 1964 and is in GREAT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is PCS 3054 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Parlophone Label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK STEREO 1st Pressing!!!! 

The record labels are in GREAT condition (see pictures) with NO sticker marks, NO wear (apart from 2 or 3 almost INVISIBLE 'touched in' traces!), NO sticker tears, only slight 'texturisation', NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 3 or 4 VERY light hairlines, only 3 or 4 VERY light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  The record plays with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Emitex inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 'Earliest' 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending' STEREO Cover (with 'Large' Stereo text!) is in GREAT condition - and is still VERY presentable indeed, with NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (apart from 1 TINY 'touched in' trace!), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking indeed!), shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with barely ANY yellowing, only slight grubbyness towards the edges, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Good++ (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - though I am being very VERY strict here (only due to the slight grubbyness on the reverse), as this cover is still a VERY decent cover indeed, with NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (ESPECIALLY IN MEGA RARE STEREO!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!! 

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!  It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!!  THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1964 UK 'EARLIEST' STEREO 1ST PRESSING OF "STAY WITH THE HOLLIES" BY THE HOLLIES, IN GREAT CONDITION!!!!  Dont forget to take a look at all my other items including many other TOP LPs and contact me with any queries you may have.  Postal discounts for multiple buys are always available - and I guarantee to ALWAYS undercharge on postage!  Paypal, Bank Transfers, Cheques, International Money Orders, and Postal Orders accepted.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy!  Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
