The record labels are in BRILLIANT condition (see pictures) with NO writing, barely ANY wear AT ALL, VERY nice Gold Print, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  The record is in GREAT condition overall (though not perfect)!!!!  Most of these 50s singles had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This record is NOT and still retains a VERY shiny appearance!!!!  However - it does have 1 visually obvious scuffline (NON sounding), 2 or 3 TINY visual surface marks (again NON sounding!), only 2 or 3 VERY light hairlines, only 2 or 3 light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO jumps, NO sticks, and only some slight background crackle - though this is virtually UNAVOIDABLE on these VERY early 1950s 45s!!!!  The record must grade Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed) if not better - and this record still gives a VERY good account of itself on playback, and is still VERY presentable indeed!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  This record comes in its ORIGINAL 'Earliest' 1st Press 'All Black Text' HMV Company Sleeve which is in GREAT condition (NO edge splits, etc) and is VERY presentable indeed (see pictures!)!!!!  THIS SINGLE MAY NOT BE 100% MINT - BUT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE, HAS VERY NICE LABELS, PLAYS FINE, AND IS VERY PRESENTABLE INDEED!!!!  THIS 45 IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!  It really is a great looking record and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE single!!!!  THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1957 UK 'EARLIEST' MONO EXPORT 1ST PRESSING OF "MYSTERY TRAIN" BY ELVIS PRESLEY!!!!    Dont forget to take a look at all my other items including many other TOP LPs & 45s and contact me with any queries you may have.
