Elvis Presley's First Album LPM-1254 Rare NM Vinyl

$

158

You are bidding on Elvis Presley's first album. This is RCA LPM-1254, it's very rare. I have sold about 12 of these in the last several months, this is my last one and this one is in the best condtion of all the first issue LPM-1254s I've sold.

The jacket is very nice and intact but does have some wear. At the bottom edge in the middle there are about 2 1/2 inches of the beginnings of a split, this is in the middle and you have to look to find it, but it's there. On the lower/right corner there is the start of some separation but not bad, just a bit. The spine is fine, you can read all the info on the spine and it has no flaking, there is some brownish wear on the spine as well as the rest of the record, it's not as bad as the photo shows as is usual. On the top/right, there is about 5 inches of tape someone has put on this jacket to prevent a split. You can see this on the photo. Someone has written on the jacket in one spot, you can see this too. In spite of the flaws this is the best jacket I've sold of this record.

The vinyl is even better. This is by far the best record I've had in this issue. The label is great as you can see in the photo. Just a few spindle marks and it looks fine. The vinyl is beautiful. It has only the most minor flaws, a few shallow scratches and scuffs. I normally don't clean these records I sell but this one was so nice we cleaned it and it is quite impressive for such an old album. The successful buyer will be very, very pleased when you take a look at the record on this one. It's very nice.

Please read this prior to bidding, your bid is an agreement to these terms:

US Buyers: Shipping is via U.S. Postal Service, Media Mail in the U.S. and the cost for shipping, packaging, handling, and required insurance is $6.00. For multiple items won in the U.S. I will ship up to 3 records for the same price then add $1 for each additional record in the U.S. If you would like Priority Mail for shipping within the U.S. the cost is $7.65 and you'll need to let me know when you pay by dropping me an email via Ebay. In the unlikely event the item is damaged or lost during shipment, I will send the insurance and shipping paperwork to you and it will be up to you to take the damaged item to your post office to make a claim.

International Buyers: For international shipments, I use International Priority Mail and the cost for shipping, handling, and insurance, is $22.00. In the unlikely event the item is damaged or lost during shipment, I will send the insurance and shipping paperwork and it will be up to the buyer to call the postal authorities at the post office claims number, to make a claim. This must be done by the buyer. I will not place an amount on customs forms any higher or lower than the auction sale price. This is for your protection as well as mine. Insurance is purchased at the United States Post Office and they also provide the customs forms, so I can't claim the true value on the insurance then claim a lower value on a customs form, and that would render your insurance worthless even if I could. For combined shipments, the rates are as follows: 2 albums...$25.00. 3 albums...$29.00. 4 albums...$33.00. 5 albums...$38.00. 6 albums...$43.00. 7 albums...$47.00. 8 albums...$51.00.  9 albums...$56.00. 10 albums...$59.00. If you win or plan to bid on more than 10 albums or 10 pounds, ask me and I'll quote shipping costs. I consider the international shipping costs to be outrageous but we're stuck with these rates.

If you cannot agree to the terms above, please DO NOT BID.

If you are unhappy with the merchandise for a legitimate reason I will be happy to accept a return. You must notify me and send it back within 7 days of receiving item. Once I receive the product in the same condition as it was sent to you, I will refund your cost of the product plus shipping. I will make every attempt to be fair and I ask and expect you to do the same.
