Hi, and welcome to psych_out! auctions!!!

I've collected 50's, 60's, and early 70's records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between for all my life!!! Obviously, 90%+ of the LP's i've ever gotten hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock 'n' roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10%? Reluctantly, i've decided to offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there!!! I'm currently trying to set up a record label so unfortunately personal sacrifices have to be made when it comes to my collection, resulting in GREAT benefits for all you shrewd bidders and serious connosieurs of TRUE solid gold music history out there!!! Make no mistake, i'll try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay, many which have taken me YEARS to find!!!

I aim to put a weekly batch up (time permitting) every wednesday, all timed to end 10 days later on saturday night. I'll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZING, MOST IMPORTANT, VERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS i've got!!! I won't insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered", weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example).

I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and i'll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i'll be listing some gems that you just WON'T want to miss out on!!!

I think that's everything, so let the auction commence!!!

Label & year : Original HMV CLP 1105 LP , UK Mono 1957 INCREDIBLY RARE 1st Press!!!

Matrix's : Side A : G2-WP-7207-2N , Side B : G2-WP-7208-1N

IMPOSSIBLY RARE FOLLOW UP LP FROM ROCK 'N' ROLL'S ULTIMATE LEGEND!!! This is history!!! On offer here is THE very second Elvis LP released 55 YEARS AGO!!! To say that this UK 1st Press is IMPOSSIBLY RARE would be a serious understatement!!! SO hard to find an example well over half a century later in such a GREAT condition like this one!!! Do NOT miss out on this magnificent piece of true Rock 'n' Roll history - bid now!!!

The LP :

Labels : 

Classic UK 1st Press ridged HMV labels!!! Both sides are GREAT with minimal signs of age, NO writing, NO graffiti, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever!!! Just has some mild spindle marks from general light use over the years!!! BRILLIANT for a 55 year old record!!! Both must grade overall at least as Very Good!!!

Record : Visual - 

Original UK 1957 HMV laminated flipback sleeve complete with original inner!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn, covered with graffiti and with huge sections missing due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT at all, and looks FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO graffiti, NO excessively bad marks AT ALL, and still strong, solid and complete after all these years!!! Only has some few usual signs of ageing such as some minor creasing and a touch of a record imprint, some mild wear and tear along parts of the opening such as two small splits on the front middle (which have been repaired with a neat strip of tape across them) and some mild creasing/ruffling/minor tears e.t.c (minimal and absolutely nothing drastic AT ALL - it remains strong and 100% intact with no bits missing), some slight touches of whitening/tiny splits to parts of the seams here and there from where it has sat on the shelf over the years (absolutely NO cutting fron the record edges), some mild ageing to the white colour of the back such as a small amount of mild and tiny black marks and a hint of creaming (absolutely NO coffee cup stains, graffiti or anything drastic at all!!!), some denting/rounding to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP's have, and (just to be sure!!!) one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all!!! And that's truly about it!!! I tend to bring it down by listing the most minor negatives I can find, but this really is a BRILLIANT sleeve with the colours as vibrant as ever, and a TRUE rarity to find one as complete, together and presentable as this - most have been virtually destroyed with huge sections missing, pin holes and graffiti/names e.t.c, but not this one!!! It remains strong, solid, presentable, and despite a little whitening and wear, even the spine remains strong and solid too!!! Must grade overall at least as Good+!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Summary : A GREAT example of this IMPOSSIBLY RARE 1956 UK 1st Press LP!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but SERIOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS BRILLIANT AS THIS!!! YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don't miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60's/70's music history!!! Bid now!!!

I've realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system (occasionally with a + or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i'm having real trouble deciding!), so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100% perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps!
