**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS THE SOUGHT AFTER AND MUCH RARER (THAN THE US IMPORT) UK RELEASE AND IS EVER HARDER TO FIND ESPECIALLY IN THIS PLAYGRADED CONDITION. IT HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER**. **NOT A REISSUE**
FEATURES THE BRILLIANT SINGLES 'YAKKETY YAK', 'CHARLIE BROWN', 'POISON IVY' AND MUCH MORE
A CLASSIC R&B / SOUL /DOO-WOP / ROCK N ROLL 1ST PRESSING LP FROM THE COASTERS 'GREATEST HITS' WHICH PLAYGRADES MOSTLY AT EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION (IVE DROPPED IT A HALF PLAYGRADE TO EXCELLENT OVERALL FOR REALLY OCCASIONAL HINT OF STATIC). RELEASED IN 1959 IN THE UK ON THE LONDON RECORDS LABEL (NOT THE US IMPORT ATCO RELEASE OR A LATER REISSUE).
A SUPERB LISTEN.
IVE DECIDED TO SELL SOME OF MY SOUL/R&B COLLECTION SIMPLY DUE TO RETIREMENT AND DOWNSIZING. ALL THE RECORDS COME FROM MY OWN COLLECTION AND AT LEAST SINCE I HAVE OWNED THEM THEY HAVE BEEN STORED UPRIGHT IN A SMOKE AND PET FREE ENVIRONMENT.
PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT MY OTHER LPs/SINGLES FOR SALE.
THIS IS A LOVELY PLAYING COPY OF AN INCREASINGLY HARD TO FIND LP.
THE VINYL LP PLAYGRADES MOSTLY AT EXCELLENT PLUS (EX+) CONDITION. IT HAS A FEW NON SOUNDING SURFACE MARKS NOT AFFECTING PLAY. JUST THE OCCASIONAL HINT OF STATIC (IM TALKING REALLY SMALL BUT IM PICKY) SO IVE PLAYGRADED OVERALL AT A SOLID EXCELLENT (RARE RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM). THIS UK RELEASE RARELY COMES UP FOR SALE IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN GOOD (TRASHED) CONDITION AND IS IMMEASURABLY HARDER TO SOURCE THAN THE US ATCO PRESSING (WHICH IS RARE IN ITSELF).
ABSOLUTELY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS.
THE CORRECT 1ST PRESSING LAMINATED FRONT 'FLIPBACK' SLEEVE GRADES OVERALL AT VERY GOOD PLUS. THE FRON GRADES HIGHER BUT THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE HAS SOME AGE YELLOWING (VIRTUALLY ALL COPIES DID DUE TO NOT BEING LAMINATED ON THE REAR.
The 'A' SIDE LABEL IS EXCELLENT PLUS with no stickers, writing or tears. THE 'B' SIDE LABEL IS EX- FOR VERY MINOR STICKER RESIDUE (see pics for exact condition).
This superb ORIGINAL UK release virtually never comes up for sale on Ebay in anything other than battered condition.
