DESCRIPTION

Offered here is an original 1956 RCA Victor LPM-1254 Elvis Presley LP, featuring the desirable early 6S/5S matrix combination.

PRESSING DETAILS

* RCA Victor LPM-1254

* Original 1956 pressing

* Side 1: G2PP-1282-6S

* Side 2: G2PP-1283-5S

* Original RCA Victor “New Orthophonic” High Fidelity labels

* Original vintage jacket

* Vintage paper inner sleeve

VINYL CONDITION — G+ / G PLAY GRADE

The record has considerable age-related surface wear, including numerous visible scratches, hairlines and surface marks.

Both sides have been play-tested.

The record has audible crackles, pops and clicks, but importantly, both sides play completely through without skipping or repeating.

This is being sold as a playable vintage collector copy, not a high-grade audiophile copy. Please carefully review all photographs and consider the stated play grade before bidding.

JACKET CONDITION — Fair

The original 1956 jacket has extensive structural damage.

The seams are completely split around essentially the entire jacket. The front and back panels are separated and are being held together primarily by a small remaining section of the main spine.

There is also substantial age-related wear, including:

* Heavy edge and corner wear

* Significant staining and discoloration

* Surface wear

* Spine deterioration

* General handling/storage wear

* Structural separation as described above

The jacket is nevertheless complete and retains the original 1956 artwork and back-cover printing.

The rear cover is hand-inscribed “Emma Ramsay” in the upper-left corner. This is visible in the photographs.

PLEASE NOTE

This is an original 1956 Elvis Presley LP, approximately 70 years old, and the condition should be evaluated accordingly.

The 6S/5S matrices are specifically noted for collectors and are an important feature of this copy.

I have provided extensive photographs showing the record, labels, jacket, seams and overall condition. Please examine all photographs carefully before bidding.

$1 STARTING BID — NO RESERVE

I’m letting the Elvis collecting community determine the value of this early pressing.

Starting at just $1 with NO RESERVE!

Good luck and happy collecting!
