Description
Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.

Title Elvis Presley - The Best of Elvis Year of Release 1957 Catalogue Number DLP 1159 Label Red HMV with Gold print Tax Code on Disc XT Sleeve Manufacturer WRW Side 1 Matrix Number OXAV 289-1N Side 2 Matrix Number OXAV 290-1N Side 1 Stampers 1 / M Side 2 Stampers 1 / P Sleeve Condition The sleeve is in FAIR condition. The sleeve is holding but is showing its age. It looks like the sleeve was pretty badly damaged with a chunk taken away on the front and a tear on the back, but a previous owner has done a simple repair job inside with some card. The photos below tell the best story. Inner Sleeve Condition The sleeve is in G+ condition. The original 10" inner sleeve is included. It's a little rough and worn but holding okay with some wear and discolouration, but no splits or tears. Inserts Condition - Disc Condition(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in G+/VG- condition. The playing surface, overall, has a really nice shine to it but there is a lot of light scuffs and surface marks along with some heavier looking scuffing. Doesn't look trashed but does look like, if it were to be played, there'd be a fair amount of light crackle. Label Condition The labels are in VG condition. The labels are a little rubbed but are clean. The gold lettering has rubbed and faded a little. There's some light spindlewear and a little whitening around the centrehole.
All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.
Records are posted out tracked and insured (where applicable) to comply with eBay and PayPal seller protection policy.
The P+P costs given on each auction are for that auction only. If you win more than one auction please wait until I've
sent you out an amended invoice to combine postage.
All LPs will be mailed out in a strong, corrugated cardboard LP mailing box with the LP outside the sleeve and extra
sheets of corrugated cardboard will be used where applicable.
My Regarding Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
