Description

RARITY:-   This is Johnny Cash's first UK LP ever - and is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find as a 1st Pressing!  These do turn up occasionally - but almost EVERY time you click on one - you'll find it is almost ALWAYS a 1960s re-pressing!  For information ONLY the 1959 UK 1st Pressings had 'Half-Moon' flipbacks, from 1960 to 1963 'straight' flipbacks were used, and after 1963 NO flipbacks were used!  So finding a 1959 UK 1st Pressing is almost IMPOSSIBLE - as barely ANY were ever made!  And even when you do see a 1st Pressing - because the covers were so thin, they are nearly always TRASHED!  BUT THIS ONE HAS NO COVER DAMAGE AT ALL, IS A 100% GENIUNE 'DAY OF RELEASE' UK 1959 MONO 1ST PRESSING - AND IS VERY VERY RARE INDEED!

COUNTRY:-  UK

MONO/STEREO:-  MONO 

PRESSING:-   1ST PRESSING - 'GROOVED' LABEL, 1B/1B MONO MATRIXES, AND A 'J.P' (JAMES PRESS) 'HALF-MOON' FLIPBACK '1959 DATE CODED' LAMINATED MONO COVER!

LABELS:-   EX+

RECORD GRADING:-   The record is very VERY strictly graded at VG++++ if not better (Graded directly under a 150 watt bulb!) and is VERY bright & shiny looking indeed!  And most I am certain would grade even higher still!  It is in BRILLIANT condition - with NO scratches, NO hairlines, only 2 or 3 VERY light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!  The record plays with NO skips, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO jumps, the odd brief surface sound, NO sticks, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!  A very VERY nice record and very VERY strictly graded indeed!

INNER:-  ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Thicker Paper' inner. EX+

COVER GRADING:-  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'J.P.' 1959 Date Coded Laminated 'Half-Moon' Flipback MONO Cover is in GREAT condition - with NO damage AT ALL!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (with some 'tipping in'), NO rips, NO tears, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO sticker tears, NO sticker marks, shiny laminate, NO splits, NO annotations, 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 NO grubbyness, only 2 or 3 'age traces', NO yellowing, a few creases to the flipbacks, NO flipback loss AT ALL, NO rubbing, and NO writing!  The cover must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find with NO cover damage AT ALL!  A very VERY decent cover indeed!

DEFECTS OUTSIDE OF THE GRADE GIVEN:-  N/A

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!
