Incorporate a spectacular masterwork of rock 'n' roll history into your collection with an authentic, original UK 1962 pressing of Buddy Holly's legendary Listen To Me extended play selection. While the initial 1958 debut pressings are distinguished by a triangular tri-centre layout and a portrait of Buddy without his iconic spectacles, this highly collectible 1962 British manufacture features the much-loved subsequent portrait depicting him wearing his signature glasses. Crucially, this specific copy is housed inside the scarce, highly desirable green monotone picture sleeve variant printed by MacNeill Press Ltd. (proudly displaying a "9.62" date on the rear flap), offering a striking aesthetic alternative to the more common sepia-brown print runs.

The structural engineering and archival stamping on this 45 rpm disc provide incredible credentials for serious music purists. The record features the iconic blue and silver Coral label livery, complete with a perfectly intact round four-pronged push-out centre mechanism and an embossed "Z/T" purchase tax code. Imprinted clearly within the runout dead-wax are the coveted early "1C" matrix sequences on both faces. Side A opens with the beautiful title track "Listen To Me" and the timeless drum cadence of "Peggy Sue", whilst Side B delivers the upbeat energy of "I'm Gonna Love You Too" alongside the gentle acoustic charm of "Everyday". Evaluated at VG+/VG+, the green-tinted jacket shows minor age-related wear on the reverse, while the clean vinyl displays a few light surface marks that do not compromise its superb audio fidelity.

Locating fragile early 1960s pressings that have escaped severe groove damage or heavy laminate peeling presents an ongoing challenge today. Standing as a definitive showcase of the legendary singer's most famous and influential recordings, this original 1962 British issue represents a spectacular acquisition. Secure this wonderful green-sleeve variant of British vinyl heritage for your personal collection today.
