Enhance your early rock 'n' roll assembly with a magnificent piece of British audio history by acquiring an exceptionally well-preserved copy of Buddy Holly's No. 1 extended play release. While the absolute first pressings of this four-track record hit the market in 1959 featuring the famous triangular tri-centre layout, this highly sought-after 1961 UK manufacture remains an essential artefact for serious fifties rockabilly collectors. Distributed by Brunswick Records under catalogue number OE 9456, this vintage package stands out immediately due to its beautiful front-laminated, flipback card picture sleeve manufactured by MacNeill Press, displaying a "6.61" printing date on the rear flap.

The structural details and archival markings on this 45 rpm disc provide outstanding verification details for music purists. The record itself features the iconic dark red Brunswick labels with silver print, complete with an intact round four-pronged push-out centre design and an "O/T" purchase tax code. Imprinted cleanly into the runout dead-wax are the highly coveted "1C" matrix terminations on both sides, confirming a stellar early pressing run. Side A includes the emotive "You Are My One Desire" alongside the classic "Blue Days Black Nights", whilst Side B delivers "Modern Don Juan" and the upbeat rhythm of "Ting-A-Ling". Evaluated at VG/EX, the historic sleeve shows some signs of age, whilst the clean vinyl surface remains in spectacular, excellent condition.

Sourcing fragile, laminated flipback EPs from the early sixties without heavy wear is incredibly difficult for modern collectors. Standing as a timeless showcase of the legendary Texas singer's formative recording years, this pristine red-label Brunswick original represents a fantastic collectors-grade addition to any historic pop display. Secure this wonderful slice of UK music history for your personal collection.
