THIS IS THE  ORIGINAL 1955 MEGA RARE 1st 10" PRESSING! BOTH THE COVER AND LABEL READS DL-5560. THIS IS ON THE DECCA RECORDS BLACK LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT. 1P IS STAMPED INTO THE DEAD WAX ON BOTH SIDES WHICH USUALLY INDICATES A VERY EARLY 1ST PRESSING! ALSO STAMPED INTO THE DEAD WAX ARE THE FOLLOWING MATRIX#'S SIDE 1: MG4017T4  SIDE II: MG4018T3

 VISUALLY, THE 70 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL DISC IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND NOTICED THAT THE PLATTER HAS RETAINED MUCH OF ITS ORIGINAL DEEP RICH GLOSS. GORGEOUS SHINE HERE!

THERE ARE MANY VERY LIGHT SCUFFS,ABRASIONS, HAIRLINES (MOSTLY OF THE SWIRLY VARIETY) NOTHING EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO BEING FEELABLE.

NOR WOULD ANYTHING EFFECT THE INCREDIBLE LISTENING  EXPERIENCE OF THIS WONDERFUL DEEP GROOVE PRESSING!

 THE LABELS AS YOU CAN SEE ARE EX TO EX+ AS WELL WITH VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF WEAR! THEY ARE FREE FROM ANY WRITING OR STICKERS. JUST A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE TRAILS.

 BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS  I FEEL  THE VINYL  GRADES EX TO EX+ 

THE COVER IS BEAUTIFUL AND WILL PRESENT EXCEPTIONALLY WELL! THERE IS NO SPLITTING! THERE IS NO WRITING, TAPE OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! THE SEAMS ARE VERY STRONG & TIGHT!  THE SPINE IS VERY STRONG AND TIGHT AND PERFECTLY READABLE! THERE IS LITTLE TO NO RING/SHELF WEAR EVIDENT ON THE EITHER SIDE. THERE IS A VERY LIGHT IMPRESSION NEAR THE TOP BORDER (SEE LAST PICTURE) PERHAPS WHERE A NAME USED TO BE THAT IS BARELY EVEN NOTICEABLE. I ALMOST MISSED IT ENTIRELY. THE REVERSE SIDE LINER NOTES ARE EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN, EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND PERFECTLY READABLE. OTHER THAN SOME MINOR DINGS/SOILING THE COVER IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION! I GRADE IT AS NRMT- (MINUS)

I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS MOMENTS AGO AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS OUTSTANDING! THERE WAS SOME EXTREMELY MINOR NOISE HEAR AND THERE. MOSTLY NOTICEABLE IN THE QUIET PASSAGES. A FEW VERY LIGHT TICS,  CERTAINLY NOTHING I WOULD SAY WAS  DISTRACTING OR OVERPOWERING IN EVEN THE SLIGHTEST WAY.  THE FIDELITY WAS FANTASTIC! I GRADE THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE AS EXCELLENT TO NRMT-(MINUS)!

THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR DISTRACTING POPS/TICKS OR BURPS!
