                                                                          ALBUM REVIEW
The Other Sides: Worldwide Gold Award Hits, Vol. 2 started life at the outset of the 1970s as a four-LP set, and the companion to Vol. 1, the latter containing the single A-sides while this was devoted primarily to the B-sides (some of which charted in their own right). At the time, both boxes -- and they were, indeed, classical-style box sets, and mastered in authentic mono (as opposed to the re-channeled stereo of most of Presley's reissue catalog) -- were revelations of different sorts. The first set, of course, delineated the hits from across the first 14 years of his career, while this volume filled out the account of Presley's range as a singer, and the richness that his voice brought to rock & roll, even in the years when he moved toward a more pop-oriented sound. Though there are big hits like "(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame," "Love Me," "One Night," and "Mean Woman Blues," much of the set is devoted to lesser-known songs like "Wild in the Country" and "My Baby Left Me." In the decades since the original LP release, Elvis' output has been heavily anthologized, but RCA still had reason to reissue this and its companion volume -- the CD edition has all 50 songs and boasts an elaborate 12-page booklet, an Elvis stamp, and is individually numbered. There is a wealth of great music here, though it isn't presented as logically as any of the three box sets representing Elvis across each of the three decades of his career, thus making it worthwhile mainly as a way to supplement the double-disc Top Ten Hits.

Every record is an original issue, with the label and catalog number given.  Photo of actual item.                
My grading which is based on the Goldmine Standard;
M. Mint.  Unopened, sealed.
M- Near mint. Perfect, un-played, like NEW. May have a promo stamp, hole or slit in cover.
VG++ - Almost new, with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play.
VG+ - Vinyl has slight signs of wear, slight scuffs or faint scratches, that don't affect the sound. Cover may have slight signs of wear.
VG - Surface noise will be noticeable, but will not overpower the music. The cover may have writing or tape.
VG- Vinyl plays without skipping, but has significant surface noise and scratches. The cover may have splits, writing, tape, or stickers on it.
I generally sell VG++, or better, except for the RARE, out of print, or unavailable item.

                     ATTENTION:
I strongly encourage COMBINED S&H. Each additional LP is $1.00.
I am listing, alphabetically, a huge collection, that belonged to a friend.
It comes from radio stations, and leftover record store stock. He was a DJ, and record store manager.
Many one of a kind items, some not available commercially.
Additional photos always available, upon request.
I encourage multiple wins, and S&H, nothing beyond actual cost added.
I'd rather send five items to one seller, than one item to five.
Looking for a certain item, E-me, I might have it, and will list it. Or buy it now.
All packaged professionally, to prevent damage in transport.
I use record mailers for vinyl, and bubble envelopes for CDs.
Please keep watching, ALL MUST GO!
