ATTENTION ELVIS PRESLEY,ROCK AND ROLL,AMERICAN #1 HITS & 1950s 45s COLLECTORS! THIS IS SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL IN OUTSTANDING EXCELLENT++ CONDITION!

A TRULY GROUNDBREAKING AND VERY IMPORTANT RECORD TO ANY COLLECTOR!

THE VERY EARLIEST UK 7 INCH PRESSING OF THE VERY FIRST UK ISSUED ELVIS  PRESLEY SINGLE! "HEARTBREAK HOTEL" FROM 1956.

EMI PRESSED HIS MASTER'S VOICE 7M 385+THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES.

THIS 1ST EDITION HAS THE "GOLD" PRINT LABELS AND THE EARLIEST "REMOVABLE CENTRE" WHICH I SHALL EXPLAIN FUTHER DOWN MY DESCRIPTION!. 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=" I WAS THE ONE".   

THE DISC HAS ONLY THE VERY FAINTEST AND TINIEST OF 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-NO CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO JUMPS-PLAYS SUPERB!  VERY CLEAN LABELS-PLEASE SEE ALL OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWING BOTH LABELS AND DIFFERENT ANGLES AND A CLOSE UP OF THE REMOVABLE CENTRE WHICH ARE DIFFERENT TO THE 2ND PRESSING THAT STILL HAD GOLD PRINT.THESE"REMOVABLE CENTRES"AS THEY ARE KNOWN HAD LARGER ALMOST SQUARE SHAPED STRUTS THAT  IF PUSHED OUT,COULD BE SNAPPED BACK INTO THE DISC WITH EXTREME CARE.IF LEFT OUT THERE WOULD BE A NOTICABLE MISSING FOUR PIECES GOING INTO THE LABEL! HAVE A LOOK AT PHOTO #4 AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE!PLEASE DO NOT BE CONFUSED WITH THE STANDARD PUSH OUT CENTRE WITH PIONTED STRUTS THAT WOULD LEAVE ROUNDED CENTRES.

THE LABELS ARE SHARP,BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH NO FADING,NO STAINING,NO WRITING,HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR.

ALSO NOTE THE WORDING "SUNG BY ELVIS PRESLEY"-LATER REPRINTS ON SILVER LABELS JUST HAD"ELVIS PRESLEY".

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 A PEN "18" ON EACH SIDE BUT NO RIPS,SPLITS,STAINS OR REPAIRS!

THE RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE MINT VALUE IS £350 AND AS SUCH TO FIND A STRONG EXCELLENT+++ CONDITION EXAMPLE AS IN THIS CASE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AND AS SUCH THE STARTING PRICE IS £100 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.I WOULD ESTIMATE A DOZEN PLAYS!

THIS IS THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN 26 YEARS AS A DEALER!

FAR BETTER THAN MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE!

 A LOW,REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF JUST £100. THIS COULD BE YOUR VERY LAST CHANCE TO OWN ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL ELVIS PRESLEY 45s!  

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD EXPERTS/DEALERS.

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

I HAVE PLAYED IT TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.  

THE PRINT IS STILL VERY CLEAR AND SHARP.

THE COVER IS IN SUPER ORDER!

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 EXCELLENT++++ CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "NEAR MINT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.
