One of the rarest and most sought-after 10" LPs with Elvis, the legendary UK 1957 release on His Master's Voice in truly beautiful condition.
Earliest issue with maroon and gold labels and 1N/1N matrix suffixes!
Really nice copies of this record has repetedly sold for $500+ over the last few years... And this is a NICE copy!
The starting bid is $9.99 with NO RESERVE so here you truly have a chance to make a bargain!
The cover is, with the exception of a small tear in the lower right hand corner (see picture) in very, very nice condition. No writing, no seam splits, no nothing. Simply a cover in as beautiful used condition you could expect to find, EX+ and obviously cared for. These covers are usually yellowed by age, stained and with lots of wear and tear due to the poor paper quality. But no such problems here!
Also the record is beautiful. Looks and plays like a well cared for record in very nice EX with only a few paper scuffs and some minor surface scratches that you may be able to see, but hardly hear. I grade conservatively and you won't be disappointed - this is simply a wonderful record and what great songs by Elvis!
The labels are as good as they get (see scan).
This is one of the nicest copies I have seen during the 25 years I've collected Elvis.
In summary a really super issue, and about as clean as you could hope to find. A combination of age, fragility of sleeve and subsequent popularity of Elvis means that most extant copies of this LP surface in a very sorry state, with sleeves just about hanging together and vinyl surfaces a network of nasty scuffs and scratches.
This is not a mint issue, but is still a very strong issue with no major faults. Copies of this LP in this kind of condition rarely surface on the open market.
25 years experience with buying, selling and researching blues, rhythm 'n' blues, rockabilly and rock 'n' roll. This item ships bulletpoof worldwide for $8 and I do combine shipping. Ebay for some reason says shipping cannot cost more than $4 in this category... well, I'm sure you understand that's simply wrong. Insurance is available upon request. You will be satisified.
