Description
Elvis Presley "SPD-23" RCA Victor Records # SPD-23, U.S. pressing from 1956. Two 7" 45's from the impossibly rare "SPD-23" EP that was only released with the limited edition Elvis Victrola Record players. The EP was a 3 record set with custom cover. What I'm offering is 2 of the records and NO cover, both records have been fully play-graded as well as visually graded, any technical questions, feel free to email me. The details and conditions are as follows: The first record is # 599-9125, sides 3 and 4 of the EP, record is in VG condition, clean labels, no writing or attachments, light scuffing, one light "feelable" scratch on side 4, plays over fine with no loud interruption, plays really clean overall with only slight surface noise, plays VG all the way through with no loud pops or skips. The second is # 599-9123, sides 1 and 6 of the EP, record is in Fair to Good condition, looks nice, clean labels, no writing or attachments, unfortunately the record has a tiny 1/2" crack starting at the outer rim going in, hence the low grade. Record is still in very good playing condition though, plays through fine as if there was no crack, no excessive surface noise, loud pops, or skips! If not for the crack I would describe this as a VG condition record. Shipping and handling is $5.00 (USPS media mail service) to anywhere in the continental U.S. Check out my other auctions too, always listing lots of rare high quality vinyl LP's and collectors items.

- I sell only CLEAN quality records.
- I always use actual pictures of records, not stock photos.
- I grade fairly and accurately using 25+ years of experience in record collecting.
- Each record comes protected with a plastic outer sleeve.
- Records are professionally packed and shipped securely in heavy-duty cardboard LP mailer boxes.
Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.
Near Mint (NM or M-): A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Basically, an LP in Near Mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a retail store and removed the shrink wrap. Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that don't affect the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. LP inner sleeves will have some slight ring wear, lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP jacket may also have slight signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable. A synonym used by some collectors and dealers for "Very Good Plus" is "Excellent."
Very Good (VG): Generally worth 25 percent of the Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a Very Good disc. Surface noise will be evident on playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+): Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A jacket or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
