NO OTHER PRESSING EXISTS BEFORE THIS ONE!

LVA 9081 CORAL PRINTED ON THE COVER AS WITH ALL EDITIONS.

GLOSSY FRONT SLEEVE+ FLIPBACK!

(FULL DETAILS BELOW)!!!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A RARE BUDDY HOLLY LP -THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

AN EARLY 1ST EDITION WHICH WAS VERY LIMITED AND RARE TO FIND OVER 50 YEARS ON AND AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY BUDDY HOLLY COLLECTION!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION.

THIS COPY HAS SEEN A NUMBER OF PLAYS BUT IS STILL IN NICE ORDER AND SOUNDS FINE APART FROM SOME DISTORTION AT THE SOUND "PEAKS"OF SOME TRACKS CAUSED BY EITHER REPEATED PLAYS WITH A WORN STYLI OR HEAVY PICKUP.

DESPITE THIS, THERE ARE NO NASTY CLICKS,INFACT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AT ALL.

THE GROOVES DO NOT"LOOK WORN"AND WITH SOME SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE TONE CONTROLS THE DISTORTION PEAKS ARE LESS NOTICABLE.

ON AN OLDER DECK OR THE USE OF A MONO FILTER SWITCH WOULD PROBABLY MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE!

NO NASTY AUTOCHANGER SCUFFS AND DEEP SCRATCHES!!

THE COVER HAS SOME SELLOTAPE REPAIR TO THE FLIPBACK,THE TOP HAVING PARTLY COME AWAY WITHE AGE,THERE IS ALSO SOME LAMINATION PEELING.

NO WRITING AND CONSIDERING THE AGE AND THE WAFER THIN CARD USED IS BETTER THAN MANY COPIES THAT TURN UP. 

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE 1950s AND 1960s!!! 

AN ORIGINAL MONO 1ST EDITION FROM 1958 OF THE BAND'S WONDERFUL 1ST ALBUM ISSUED ON THE UK DECCA PRESSED VOGUE-CORAL LABEL .               

THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings from a few weeks later WITH JUST CORAL ON THE LABELS-This ESSENTIAL  LP pressed within the first few WEEKS of issue from 1958 when BUDDY HOLLY was just about to go totally global in popularity!

SONGS THAT WOULD INFLUENCE MILLIONS OF OTHER MUSICIANS ESPECIALLY THE BEATLES AND THE ROLLING STONES.

AN INCREDIBLE LP THAT STILL SOUNDS EXCITING 51 YEARS ON! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN VERY GOOD WITH SURFACE MARKS AND THE DISTORTION PEAKS HERE AND THERE BUT THAT IS BEING STRICT!

NO STICKS!/NO NASTY CLICKS!/NO SWISHES! 

I DO NOT NORMALLY SELL LPs WITH"DISTORTION PEAKS"UNLESS THEY ARE VERY RARE LIKE THIS ONE AND BEING ON THE VOGUE-CORAL LABEL IS BOUND TO BE ACCEPTABLE TO MANY AS A DECENT GAP FILLER BUT YOU MAY HAVE TO WAIT A LONG TIME TO FIND ANOTHER ONE!

Copies of this album were being sold in huge quantities but how many were preserved like this one AND HOW MANY BOUGHT A VOGUE-CORAL LABEL EDITION ??!!!!!!

Just to explain,within WEEKS of this LP's debut, DECCA decided to change the label design to just CORAL.

VOGUE CORAL Labels were made in the FIRST couple of WEEKS of this LPs issue-so only early bird buyers got the LP with THIS design.

THIS ONE COULD WELL BE IN THE VERY FIRST WEEK OR EVEN THE FIRST FEW DAYS!!!!!

IF IT WAS LIKE THE BEATLES "WHITE ALBUM"WITH A NUMBER IT WOULD BE IN THE FIRST FEW HUNDRED-A THOUSAND!!!!! 

In those early days with LIMITED exposure on Radio and TV, POP LPs were carefully considered and saved for items,many fans not getting THIS LP until the autumn of 1958.  

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear BUDDY HOLLY and always will be!  

GREAT SOLID SOUND!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT THREE TIMES TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is HARDLY ANY spindle wear!!!

EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN HAS HAD SOME BUT THESE LABELS ARE QUITE STUNNING!!!!!! 

NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!

SEE PHOTOS AND NOTE THE VOGUE CORAL LABEL DESIGN.

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often coral reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN A VERY STRONG,VERY GOOD CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "VG"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

ORIGINAL  INNER SLEEVE.  

AN OUTER PVC COVER WILL BE SUPPLIED.

THE LP ITSELF AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!
