Description
ATTENTION ELVIS PRESLEY,ROCK AND ROLL& 1950s 45s COLLECTORS!
THIS IS SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL IN STRICTLY GRADED NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION!
A VERY IMPORTANT RECORD TO ANY COLLECTOR OF ELVIS PRESLEY RECORDS!
THE VERY EARLIEST UK 7 INCH PRESSING OF A 1956 ELVIS PRESLEY SINGLE:"HOUND DOG".
EMI PRESSED HIS MASTER'S VOICE 45-POP 249+THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES.
THIS 1ST EDITION HAS THE "GOLD" PRINT LABELS. LATER REPRINTS HAD SILVER PRINT AND BY THE END OF 1957 THE HMV PRESSINGS WERE DELETED WHEN RCA IN THE USA HAD THEIR OWN LABEL DESIGN WHEN DECCA SECURED THE DEAL AWAY FROM EMI! OF COURSE THE MAJORITY WERE BUYING THE DISC IN THE 10 INCH 78 RPM FORMAT!
THE"B"SIDE="DON'T BE CRUEL"-REGARDED BY MOST AS A DOUBLE"A"SIDE!!!!!.
THE DISC HAS A FEW TINY SURFACE MARKS IN VERY STRONG LIGHT AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE-JUST A LITTLE FAINT CRACKLE HERE AND THERE WHEN HEARD AT HIGH VOLUME AND WITH THE TREBLE ON THERE IS A LITTLE DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS BUT THIS IS NOT OBTRUSIVE! A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO THE TREBLE CONTROL OR IDEALLY THE USE OF A MONO SWITCH AND THERE IS HARDLY ANY NOTICABLE! -NO CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO JUMPS-PLAYS SUPERB! VERY CLEAN LABELS ALTHOUGH THE"A"SIDE LABEL IS SLIGHTLY FADED BUT THE PRINT IS STILL CLEAR AND EASY TO READ-PLEASE SEE BOTH OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWING BOTH LABELS.
THE LABELS HAVE NO WRITING,HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR.
THE ORIGINAL COVER HAS THE CORRECT RED PRINT AND BACKGROUND SHADING-SOME DEALERS SWOP OVER BLACK PRINT ONES OR EVEN USE REPRODUCTION COVERS! THERE IS NO WRITING,RIPS,SPLITS OR REPAIRS! JUST A TINY SPOT STAIN ON ONE SIDE-MOST DEALERS WOULD IGNORE THIS!
THE LATEST RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE MINT VALUE IS £150 AND AS SUCH TO FIND A STRONG NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION EXAMPLE AS IN THIS CASE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AND AS SUCH THE STARTING PRICE IS £50 BUT DO EXPECT KEEN INTEREST IN THIS AUCTION ON A RECORD WHICH WOULD BE A JOY TO OWN AND I SHALL BE SAD TO SEE IT GO.
JUST ONE OWNER SINCE 1956.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES I HAVE EVER SEEN IN 26 YEARS AS A DEALER! FAR BETTER THAN MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE!
A LOW,REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF JUST £50. THIS COULD BE YOUR VERY LAST CHANCE TO OWN ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL ELVIS PRESLEY 45s!
