Description
Elvis Presley
Hound Dog / Don't Be Cruel
You are invited to bid for this brilliant single by the King
HMV 45-POP-249
Purple label / Gold Lettering
Using the record collectors grading guide( listed below ), I would say the record is in the following condition
OUTER SLEEVE : Excellent - Unfortunately not the original sleeve.It's the plain white sleeve you see in the photo
INNER SLEEVE - N/A
RECORD : Very Good, there are some surface marks on both sides. When played, there are one or two cracks and pops as you'd expect with a record of this age - other than that both sides play faultlessly . The purple label has some very minor scuffs - mainly on the 'Don't be Cruel' side
I play all my records in full before putting them up for sale ( except any 'mint' obviously ) to ensure they play as expected. If for some reason a record doesn't play fully or correctly, I'll be honest and say so. I'm a collector of vinyl myself and I don't like to be short changed by anyone, so I certainly won't do it to anyone else.

I TRY TO BE AS ACCURATE AND AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE, BUT I AM HUMAN AND OCCASIONALLY MISTAKES DO HAPPEN, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PROBLEMS ETC, THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO HELP
I do accept personal cheques, but please be aware that funds will have to clear before I post any item
The Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as sealed or Un-played should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
