Description
IT IS TIME TO POST MY SMALL COLLECTION OF ELVIS LONG PLAY RECORDS! I WILL BE LISTING SOME VERY RARE AND/OR HIGH GRADE ELVIS RECORDS ON JUNE 27 AND 28, SO I WILL WAIT TO SEND INVOICES OUT UNTIL ALL THE ELVIS RECORDS HAVE ENDED.
THESE ALBUMS HAVE ALL BEEN METICULOUSLY INSPECTED UNDER A 70 WATT INCANDESCENT BULB AND PLAY TESTED THOROUGHLY. ALL OF THESE RECORDS WILL SHIP OUTSIDE OF THEIR JACKETS AND IN A PLASTIC-LINED PAPER SLEEVE TO AVOID ANY DAMAGE DURING TRANSPORT.
SEE GRADING SCALE AND ABOUT ME BELOW
RECORD DESCRIPTION: 1957 ELVIS PRESLEY "LOVING YOU" (RCA LSP-1515e) FIRST PRESSING SILVER TOP STAGGERED STEREO WITH DOG LABEL. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE SILVER PRINT ON ONE OF THE LABELS WITH THIS MIRROR-LIKE FINISH. IT IS VERY SHINY, NOT GRAY-- PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS, BECAUSE IT IS SO CLEAR AND REFLECTIVE THAT IT ALMOST LOOKS WHITE; I ASSURE YOU IT IS A FIRST PRESS STAGGERED SILVER TOP
MATRIX INFORMATION:
a)M2 WY4731-3S H
b)M2 WY4732-3S H
ITEM CONDITION: RECORD IS IN NEAR MINT/MINT 96 WITH FULL GLOSS, LIKE-NEW APPEARANCE AND A FEW VERY LIGHT SLEEVE SCUFFS. THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES OF ANY KIND. THE PLAYBACK IS LIKE NEW WITH EXTREMELY LIGHT OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND NOISE ONLY NOTICEABLE ON SOME OF THE PASSAGES IN BETWEEN SONGS. THE LABELS ARE NEAR MINT/MINT 95 AND WOULD BE 99 OR BETTER EXCEPT FOR THE INITIALS ON SIDE 1. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO MARKS OR SIGNS OF USE ON THE LABELS AT ALL! THE COVER IS NEAR MINT 95 WITH LIGHT WEAR AT THE OPENING, AND INITIALS ON THE BACK (SEE PHOTOS). IF NOT FOR THE INITIALS, THIS COVER WOULD GRADE A SOLID 98! THE SHRINK HAS SEPARATED 1/4 OF THE WAY ALONG THE BOTTOM STARTING AT THE OPENING. THE BACK IS BRIGHT WHITE WITH NO YELLOWING. THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT 89 WITH CREASES AND ONE 1" SPLIT ON THE SIDE. I THINK YOU WILL AGREE WHEN YOU SEE IT IN PERSON THAT IT WOULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO UPGRADE THIS! THE ORIGINAL OWNER TOOK IMMACULATE CARE OF IT. CHECK PHOTOS BELOW FOR DETAILS OF CONDITION
GRADING SCALE
ALL RECORDS VISUALLY GRADED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. I WILL USE + OR - IF NEEDED FOR BORDERLINE ITEMS
MINT SEALED: SAYS IT ALL! JACKET WILL BE GRADED SEPARATELY TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY FLAWS
NEAR MINT/MINT 95-100: RECORD AND/OR JACKET LOOK BRAND NEW, NO VISIBLE WEAR! LABELS WILL SHOW NO SIGNS OF USE OR WEAR OF ANY KIND. ONLY THE NICEST, LIKE-NEW ITEMS WILL GET THIS TOUGH GRADE!
NEAR MINT 90-94: LITTLE TO NO SIGNS OF WEAR. JACKET WILL HAVE ONLY A COUPLE OF LIGHT FLAWS, AND RECORD WILL HAVE ONLY THE LIGHTEST OF COSMETIC FLAWS THAT DO NOT AFFECT PLAY. LABELS IN THIS GRADE WILL ONLY SHOW 1 OR 2 ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLE SPINDLE MARKS
EXCELLENT 80-89: LOOKS GORGEOUS WITH ONE OR TWO FLAWS TO KNOCK IT DOWN FROM NEAR MINT. SHOULD STILL LOOK LIKE NEW AT A GLANCE
VERY GOOD 70-79: RECORD AND/OR JACKET WILL SHOW SIGNS OF USE, BUT NOTHING MAJOR. RECORD WILL SHOW LIGHT MARKS FROM FREQUENT USE, BUT NO DEEP SCRATCHES, NO LOUD REPEATING POPS AND CERTAINLY NO SKIPS OR RETURNS. RING WEAR MAY START TO SHOW ON THE COVER, AND SMALL SEAM SPLITS MAY BE PRESENT, BUT SEAM MUST BE LARGELY INTACT
GOOD 60-69: RECORD AND JACKET WILL SHOW SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OF USE. STILL A RECORD THAT IS PLAYABLE AND NO SKIPS OR RETURNS.
FAIR 50-59: A WELL LOVED ALBUM THAT WILL PLAY WILL SHOW MUCH USE AND LITTLE CARE. I WILL NEVER LIST A FAIR OR WORSE RECORD UNLESS IT IS INSANELY RARE IN ANY CONDITION!!
POOR 49 AND LOWER: SEAMS TOTALLY SPLIT, TONS OF SURFACE WEAR ON LABELS AND RECORD. AGAIN, ONLY IMPOSSIBLY RARE RECORDS WOULD EVER SHOW UP IN MY EBAY WITH THIS GRADE
ABOUT ME: I AM AN EXTREMELY PICKY COLLECTOR! ALL RECORDS ARE INSPECTED UNDER A BRIGHT BULB AND I MAKE SURE TO NEVER OVERSTATE THE CONDITION OF MY COLLECTIBLES. MY EQUIPMENT IS A DUAL 606 TURNTABLE AND A SHURE M97XE CARTRIDGE THAT HAS LESS THAN 100 HOURS ON IT. IF YOU ARE EVER UNHAPPY WITH MY GRADING, I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT RETURNS AND REFUND YOUR MONEY!
STAY TUNED FOR MANY MORE RECORDS OF ALL GENRES!!
