Supplement your vintage pop display with an exceptional piece of early British recording history by acquiring an authentic, original UK 1961 pressing of Buddy Holly's self-titled extended play selection. While the premiere 1959 edition of this four-track release is famously distinguished by its triangular tri-centre layout, this highly collectible early sixties variant stands as a great historical artefact in its own right. Manufactured via the Coral label under catalogue reference FEP 2032, the fragile period presentation is housed inside its genuine front-laminated flipback card picture jacket, which exhibits light exterior wear and features a charming, nostalgic vintage record shop sticker on the reverse side.

The structural composition and archival stamping on this 45 rpm disc offer fantastic verification points for serious audiophiles. The record is finished with the classic blue and silver Coral labels, completely intact with a round four-pronged push-out centre layout and an embossed "O/T" purchase tax code. Imprinted deep into the runout dead-wax are the coveted early "1C" matrix strings on both faces. Side A features the lush arrangements of "It Doesn't Matter Any More" and "Heartbeat", whilst Side B serves up the timeless melodies of "Raining In My Heart" and "Early In The Morning". Evaluated at VG+/EX, the sleeve remains robust, whilst the clean vinyl exhibits just a few faint signs of handling, ensuring wonderful playback quality.

Locating genuine sixties vinyl pressings that escape severe groove damage or heavy laminate peeling presents an ongoing challenge for modern buyers. As an iconic retrospective item from one of the most influential figures in rock history, this original 1961 issue represents a fantastic addition to any historic collection.
