ATTENTION ELVIS PRESLEY COLLECTORS!  

HERE IS A UK 1ST 7 INCH SINGLE PRESSING FROM 60 YEARS AGO OF THE VERY FIRST HIT GROUNDBREAKING AND HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL SINGLE BY ELVIS PRESLEY: "HEARTBREAK HOTEL" WITH "I WAS THE ONE" ON THE OTHER SIDE. IN 1956 THE MAJORITY OF THE SALES WERE FOR THE MORE COMMON BREAKABLE 10 INCH SHELLAC 78 RPM PRESSINGS WITH THESE 7 INCH VINYL EDITIONS MUCH HARDER TO LOCATE ESPECIALLY AS THIS EXAMPLE HAS THE SHORT LIVED AND SERIOUSLY RARE "REPLACEABLE CENTRE" DESIGN(**READ ON BELOW)RATHER THAN THE STANDARD PUSH OUT CENTRE. JUST TO EXPLAIN FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS IN 1956,EMI EXPERIMENTED WITH A **CENTRE PIECE THAT COULD BE REMOVED BUT COULD BE REPLACED IN THE SQUARE SHAPED STRUT HOLES THAT WENT DIRECTLY INTO THE MAIN PART OF THE LABEL-SEE PHOTO #3 FOR A CLOSE UP! COMPARE THIS TO THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT HAVE SOLD ON EBAY OR POPSIKE WHERE MOST COPIES HAVE THE "NORMAL" PUSH OUT DESIGN WHICH ONCE REMOVED CAN NOT BE PUT BACK WITHOUT GLUE OR SELLOTAPE AS OFTEN THE SAD CASE!.1956 EMI PRESSED HIS MASTER'S VOICE 7M 385 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES. THE 78 RPM EDITION HAD THE "POP" PREFIX. EXCELLENT CONDITION.  THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT AND MOSTLY FAINT SURFACE MARKS BUT THERE IS ONLY SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE. NO CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO JUMPS OR SURFACE SWISHES! VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY THAT SURVIVES 60 YEARS LATER HAS MAJOR SOUND FAULTS!  PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS TO OBSERVE THE VERY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO STAINING,NO STICKERS,NO FADING AND NO WRITING. THE CENTRE IS FULLY INTACT!NO LOOSE STRUTS!  HOUSED IN AN ORIGINAL AND CORRECT HIS MASTER'S VOICE COVER WITH THE CORRECT RED PRINT AND STRICTLY NOT A REPRO! THERE ARE A FEW SMALL CREASES AND TINY INITIALS IN ONE CORNER ON ONE SIDE BUT NO OTHER WRITING,NO RIPS OR REPAIRS. JUST HOW MANY COPIES SURVIVE,ESPECIALLY AS OUTSTANDING AS THIS ONE IS DUBIOUS AND IT COULD WELL BE YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO ADD THIS RECORD TO YOUR COLLECTION! 

 A LOW,REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF £50 AND YOU WILL GET A PROMPT AND SOLID PARCEL SO BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE. SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR POSTAGE ONLY ON THIS ITEM ALTHOUGH PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME TO BE ARRANGED AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
