ELVIS PRESLEY

"Rock 'N Roll No. 2"

One of the rarest albums of the early rock 'n roll era, and certainly one of the rarest of all commercially released Elvis Presley albums anywhere in the world.

UK ORIGINAL maroon and gold 'large dog' HIS MASTER'S VOICE, MONO HMV 1st press CLP1105.

The extremely lightweight & fragile UK cover is in remarkable condition. Very slightly 'roughed up' opening side edge with a very slight surface slick tear on the back at that edge, some slight lamination spidering along the extreme perimeter, only very slight record storage impression and slight cover crinkles, and only very slight crinkles or wear to the oval-cut flip-back portions of the back cover. The title in the center of what is laughingly referred to as the 'spine' (there really is no 'spine' by US cover construction standards) is mostly worn off. All other graphics still bright and clear, no stickers, no splits, no writing.

The heavy vinyl playing surface has 3 or 4 faint and purely superficial marks and slight play wear otherwise still gleaming and clean. Labels are brilliant. I have played this all the way through twice and there was a slight pop during "So Glad You're Mine" that was quieter 2nd time through so my guess is that much of the minor surface noise would disappear with a good cleaning. Visually I can find no reason for any pops or ticks and this was the only one I heard.
