ELVIS PRESLEY – “ELVIS’ CHRSITMAS ALBUM” – (LPM-1951) – Near Mint FIRST PRESSING Still in Original SHRINK WRAP! RARE this nice!!

RECORD:  NM with full original gloss! This is an original First Pressing from the Indianapolis plant, with matrix numbers ending with 12S/18S. The labels are simply stunning with just a couple very light spindle marks noticed under scrutiny. This record may have been played just a few times in its entire existence! There are just a few extremely light surface marks on this very original record, but they are so trivial when taking in the beauty of the record as a whole. A collector would be very hard-pressed to locate a finer example. This one is a beauty that is sure to please and would definitely be a “final upgrade”!

COVER:  VG++ and fully original in its original shrink wrap since new! There is an upper left corner bend (see photo) as well as a pair of tiny staple holes to the same corner. The staple was obviously removed with care, as the holes are noticed only under close examination. All other corners are sharp and there is no ring wear due to the shrink wrap having protected the cover for the past 50+ years! An edge bump has resulted in a very small tear to the back cover at the open end, but again, it is noticed only under close examination. A bit of yellowing from age is also present along that edge of the cover. A very original and highly presentable cover!

INNER SLEEVE:  A period-correct gray RCA Victor inner sleeve from the era. There are no staple holes in it, so it may have been switched out at some point in the past. A beautiful inner sleeve, nonetheless, with no seam splits.

SONG LISTING:

SIDE 1: Santa Claus Is Back In Town; White Christmas; Here Comes Santa Claus; I’ll Be Home For Christmas; Blue Christmas; Santa Bring My Baby Back (To Me).

SIDE 2: O Little Town Of Bethlehem; Silent Night; (There’ll Be) Peace In The Valley (For Me); I Believe; Take My Hand, Precious Lord; It Is No Secret (What God Can Do).

GOOD LUCK!
