This is an incredibly rare 1964 pressing from new Zealand of the Bill Haley record Rock around the Clock. this album was originally released in the 50s with the cat#FR12 1102, and the vinyl came with a YELLOW festival label.
this pressing was from the early 60's and is very similar but the cover has some differences (the blue clock in the background on the 50s version is missing) and the cover has orange lettering instead of red, also the record label is blue with an early 60s festival style label. It also has a completely different cat number: FL 31327
In my 25 years of collecting i have seen or owned at least 8, maybe 10 copies of the 50's version, but this is the only copy i have ever seen or owned of this particular pressing (in the 50s the first pressing of the record record sold like gangbusters, but i guess in 64 it sold in much smaller numbers.) I once told a Bill Haley collector about this pressing and he didn't even know about it. also I can't seem to find any evidence of it on Discogs (while the 50's pressing is easily found there)
so yes, this is rare, if you collect Bill Haley - dont miss this one, I am not sure when another copy will come up.

======================================================================PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE BIDDING:
GRADING: All vinyl is graded visually - I just don't have time to play all my discs before putting them up for auction however I will try to be tough on the grading, as I would prefer that a buyer was happily surprised, in stead of unhappily disappointed.
NM = Mint. No such thing really, unless its still sealed. Brand new, unplayed.
EX- = Excellent. Looks almost new. Possibly has one to two minors faults, and some evidence of having been played, with no audible defect.
VG+ = Very Good Plus. Has light scuffs and scratches but mostly inaudible. possibly can hear a bit of noise in quiet parts. Records with slight surface noise and/or scuffs fall into this category.
VG = Very Good. Has a bit more wear and tear, surface noise a bit more apparent, but still very listenable. Records in this category have more significant damage or wear.
VG- = More, distracting surface noise. Quite audible but good for singalongs etc ;-) Only used for rarites that you otherwise may not find.
G+ = Good Plus. Not really good, more like a dustbin lid, used really only for rarities and/or label fillers FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS.
