ELVIS PRESLEY, LPM 1254-FIRST LP ***NO JACKET***, LARGE DOG LABEL, VG+

$

20

ATTENTION-BE AWARE THAT THERE IS NO ORIGINAL JACKET WITH THIS LP.  I acquired this copy at a garage sale in a pile of records that had no jackets but appeared to be playable.  The owner said that his mom had them and had pretty much worn out the jackets over the years and kept them for sentimental reasons.  The record-though worn-is actually in pretty good shape with visible scratches and some that are audible but no skips or very loud ones.  The record was thoroughly cleaned first before listening to it and I have put it in a plain paper inner sleeve and a jacket to protect it.  It will be sent in a plastic outer sleeve.

We accept all reasonable offers...our prices are not written in stone.  Every record listed on ebay undergoes inspection when the disc is acquired to see if there are any visible scratches or marring;  thorough cleaning with safe and effective tools;  ONE listen for any surface noise or defects;  then put away until shipped-you will be the next to play the record after it is graded.  Also, we sell no record without inner sleeves-if the original sleeve is with the record when we acquire it, it stays, no matter the condition; if there was no sleeve, we will include one as close to the vintage of the album as possible and we will state in the description if the inner sleeve is a replacement one.  Some labels did not have inner sleeves for a while (RCA Camden, Vocalion, Harmony, etc.) but we will provide a plain paper one to protect the record.

Record Grading (grading is to Goldmine standards)

SS (Still Sealed)

M (Mint) This grade is used only in the rare instance that a record looks absolutely unplayed.

NM (Near Mint) Near perfect. At worst, a few paper rubs- nothing that would ever affect playback.

EX/VG+ (Excellent/Very Good Plus) A record may have some markings. These markings will not significantly affect play.

VG (Very Good) A record with mild surface wear- some markings/very few light scratches. There may be mild surface noise, but its overall impact on the playback of the record will still be small.

VG- (Very Good Minus) A record that shows some wear from play. Surface marks and some light scratches may be seen. Still enjoyable.

G (Good) A record that has been enjoyed  A LOT. Surface marks will be apparent and scratches are possible. Luster may be lost. Surface noise may dominate playback. I ONLY SELL THESE IF THE RECORD IS EXTREMELY RARE-IF THE TITLE IS FAIRLY COMMON I WILL ONLY SELL VG- or G CONDITION.  WE DO NOT SELL RECORDS IN FAIR OR BELOW CONDITION.

Cover Grading (any significant blemish not mentioned in the descriptions below will be included above)

SS (Still Sealed)

M (Mint) A cover that looks like it has not been handled. Sharp corners and no visible blemishes.

NM (Near Mint) A cover with only minor shelf wear. A record that has clearly been stored properly

EX/VG+ (Excellent/Very Good Plus) A cover that does have minor blemishes- wear to corners, light ring wear, etc. An average cover condition.

VG (Very Good) A cover that shows distinct wear from handling. There may be ring wear, minor discoloring, edge, and spine wear and less than 1.5 inch seam split(s).

VG- (Very Good Minus) A cover that has some damage, but is still intact. Ring wear may be heavy; there may be seam splits and stains.

G (Good) A cover that holds the record. Structural damage may be apparent. The picture should show obvious blemishes.
