Secure a premier piece of early rock 'n' roll history with this authentic, original UK 1963 pressing of The Late Great Buddy Holly. Released as a timeless posthumous tribute via the Coral label (FEP 2044), this highly collectible four-track release captures the Texas icon at his absolute creative peak. While the earliest 1960 copies used up left-over triangular tri-centres, this stunning 1963 second press features the robust, definitive four-pronged centrepiece layout.

This specific copy is a dream find for serious collectors. It features the scarce, deep forest dark green sleeve variation printed by MacNeill Press Ltd., proudly stamped with a "3.63" date code on the rear flap. Unlike paler green variants from other production runs, this dark green ink profile is highly sought after by discographers. The front-laminated flipback jacket has survived beautifully, showing just light surface wear on the reverse side.

The physical vinyl matches the quality of the sleeve. The classic blue and silver Coral labels are crisp and complete with an embossed "Z/T" retail tax code. Down in the dead-wax, you will find the prestigious original "1C" matrix strings and a stamped "MT" tax code on both faces. The music spans the brilliant "Look At Me" and "Ready Teddy" on Side A, closing with "Mailman, Bring Me No More Blues" and "Words Of Love" on Side B.

Finding fragile 1960s laminated EPs in clean, playable condition is getting harder every day. Rated at a strong VG+/VG+, this archive-grade British original offers fantastic audio fidelity and collector appeal. Add this spectacular green-sleeve rarity to your personal collection today before it disappears into a private archive permanently.
