Item Description

Elvis Presley – Elvis (RCA Victor – LPM-1382)

Pressing features: 1st Original U.S. Press, 1956, Mono - This is the harder to find version with the ad-back cover and the banded labels. 

Vinyl Record grade: Strong VG, record shows several faint hairline surface marks that may produce a very light crackle in ultra‑quiet passages or between songs, but it plays through cleanly with no skips or significant noise, delivering a fully listenable and enjoyable experience.

Cover/Jacket grade: VG, Structurally sound and still presents well, though it shows clear signs of age. There’s heavy shelf wear, edge and corner wear, and spotting throughout. A previous owner applied tape to the seams and spine to reinforce the jacket—functional, if not pretty. While far from mint, it remains a solid, presentable sleeve that does its job well.

Other contents: missing original inner sleeve

__________________________________________________________________________________

Record will be packed in a plastic outer sleeve with the record placed outside of the album jacket to prevent seam splits and securely sent in a reinforced media mailer with fragile stickers displayed on outside.
