Description
Previously listed at $500, due to a family emergency I am dropping price drastically. Now is your chance—you won’t find another! Top copy! First pressing! Rare and important! Recorded January 26, 1956 and released on Decca April 19, 1956, this was Buddy Holly’s first record. Your chance to own an original first recording of an early rock ‘n’ roll legend! These don’t come along very often. This 45 is scarce to begin with but the pink promo label press, particularly in this condition, is insanely rare. A really beautiful copy with glossy vinyl and clean bright pink labels. NO stickers or radio station stamps as is usually found on the promo label. Authentic original pressing with machine stamped matrix numbers. Includes an original company sleeve. An investment in music history! Please email me any questions before buying and I will answer promptly. See my visual grading scale below.
Visual Grading Scale—
Mint: A new record. I will rarely if ever use this grade.
Near Mint Gem: My highest grade. A truly beautiful record approaching mint condition. Will satisfy the most discerning collector.
Near Mint (NM): Appears almost unplayed. May show slight signs of handling, sleeve wear, or other slight imperfections but no scratches or scuffs. Retains original gloss. Labels will be near perfect. A very high grade record that will satisfy almost any collector.
Excellent (Exc): May have a few very light unfeelable scratches or scuffs. Retains much of it’s original gloss. A high grade record that will satisfy a demanding collector. Labels will show very little wear.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Will have several light unfeelable scratches or scuffs. May retain some original gloss. Labels may show light wear. Still a very collectible record.
Very Good (VG): Will have quite a few light scratches or scuffs or other issues and possibly a few feelable ones. Labels may show a fair amount of wear. Record will appear a bit worn. Still a collectible record that will satisfy undemanding collectors.
Good (G): Record will have many scratches (some deep), scuffs or other issues. Labels may show heavy wear. Will appear very worn. The lowest grade I will ever offer.
