** I COMBINE SHIPPING! ** Should you win more than one item in my auctions, please do not pay until your invoice has been updated to reflect combined shipping.
Starting in January, I will be listing most of my personal collection until all collectible records are sold. What does not sell will be later donated to charity as I am leaving the hobby after collecting for 48 years. I sincerely hope that all my prized records will go to the most avid of collectors like I have been all these years and that they will be proudly owned and well treated.
ELVIS PRESLEY – ELVIS (LPM-1382) RARE 17S MATRIX ON SIDE 2 DENOTES THE ALTERNATE TAKE OF “OLD SHEP”! PLAYS GREAT!
RECORD: VG+ with beautiful, clean and glossy surfaces! There are a few too many light scuffs to warrant a higher grade. This Indianapolis pressing was fully tested and it played beautifully through and through with no annoying skips or repeats. However, there were some subtle, sporadic “ticks” in some areas. The labels are stunning! Only a few very light spindle marks are noticed on both sides. A pressing error resulted in the incorrect recording of “Old Shep” on Side 2, which was an Alternate Take of the song. These pressings can be identified with the matrix numbers ending with 15S, 17S and 19S. This is explained on Pages 90 and 91 in “Presleyana VIII” (2017 – Jerry Osborne). The matrix numbers end with 1S / 17S on this record.
COVER: VG++ (EXC) Cover 1M, according to Jerry Osborne’s “Presleyana VIII” (2017), which shows no ads on the back side of the cover and the song titles shifted far to the left. There are no seam splits, tape or writing on this cover! However, there is a pair of pinholes on the upper left corner from a single, tiny staple used to hold a small price tag in that area when purchased new. Light surface scuffing/ring wear is noticed on both sides as well as some minor wear at the corner tips. Nice! A period-correct “RCA Victor” inner sleeve is included, though most likely not original to this album as there are no pinholes to the upper corner from the staple.
GOOD LUCK!
First and foremost, I do NOT practice the use of "file photos" because I do not believe in it. Using file photos can be misleading to unsuspecting buyers to believe that the item which they are viewing will be the actual item that they will receive. The other item that I am strongly opposed to is the use of A.I. generated “descriptions” for the items that I list. These A.I. descriptions are a wad of useless information that do not truly describe the specific item at hand and its condition! I strive to produce the most accurate description as possible.
All of the records in my listings are U.S. pressings unless otherwise stated. Payment is expected within 5 (Five) days from close of auction via PAY PAL ONLY – NO EXCEPTIONS, PLEASE. I normally ship within 3 (Three) business days from close of auction, but please allow a little extra time in the event of a holiday.
Returns are accepted if you are not completely satisfied with your item. I stand behind everything sold here on eBay! I strongly believe that my grading of records is spot-on, but we’re all human and something may occasionally be missed upon inspection. I will do my best to ensure customer satisfaction.
All records are shipped in the correct cardboard folding mailers with the record separated from the cover, then inserted together within a clear polyvinyl sleeve, then sandwiched between two sheets of cardboard filler pads within the mailer to ensure optimum protection.
2025 marks 48 years of experience for me in this wonderful hobby. I specialize in Elvis Presley because he is "The King".
