A Closer Look:  OK, you asked for rare, it gets no better than this!  In 1979 Readers Digest signed an agreement with RCA Records to release a number of Special RCA Products items over the next few years.  One of the first items they created was a 8 LP box set in late 1979 called "His Greatest Hits" and it was done in a heavy duty White Cover Box with gold foil writing on the box.  Not sure if RCA saw this as a conflict with their new box set, "Elvis Aron Presley" to come out in a 8 LP box set a few months later or what, all we know for sure is this box set in nearly impossible to find.  Readers Digest some four years later would repackage this box set in a 7 LP format (completely new box as well) and make it available and it is more readily available.  However, this 79' set is next to impossible.  I have seen three in all my years of Elvis shopping, so I would expect the total production of this box set was incredibly limited.  This box is in great shape, just some very light wear in the area of the edges, however, again it is light. Each of the eight records are all in mint condition and this is complete with the custom inner cardbaord sleeves that were made exclusively for this set.  Just an incredible piece, Presleyana back several years ago listed this box set at $500 in this condition, it clearly has not went down in value and in fact is just rising because of its scarcity!  Awesome find, you simply will not see this one around!

Rating Guide:

Mint (M): Perfect in every way, looks to have never been played, should have that look just as it did when you pulled the record from the new cover at the time of original purchase.

Mint Minus (M-): A nearly perfect record and cover. This item should show no readily visible signs of wear, covers and sleeves should have no more than nearly invisible rings or other signs of slight wear and vinyl should still be completely glossy and shiney, just the very lightest hint of wear if it is tilted to very bright light.

Very Good Plus (VG+): This record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled carefully by the previous owner. Record surfaces will show some light signs of paper scuffing or light scratches, that don't affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect sound are OK. This disc should still contain much of its original luster and sheen. The covers and picture sleeves should also be in very nice shape, they may have light ring wear or other signs of wear, may have a small cut out hole, indention or stamping present. Also there can be non obvious writing on the paper goods.

Very Good (VG): Many of the defects found in the VG+ record and cover will be present but more pronounced in the VG item. Surface noise will be evident, although the record should play through without skipping or repeating. Groove wear will now be noticable, scuffing and light scratching will be appearent, a scratch now can be felt with a fingernail. Labels will be marred with tape or tape residue, stickers or descret writing. The same will be true for the LP cover or picture sleeve.

Good (G): Good does not mean bad! A record in good condition should be placed on a turntable and it should play through, all though the surface noise will be evident. A cover or picture sleeve will have seam splitting, especially on the bottom seam or spine. Also there will be noticable ring wear caused by the presence of the record. The defects will start to overwhere this item.

Fair (F) or Poor (P): This record will be cracked, badly warped, and will not play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeeve or LP cover will show lots and lots of wear, the seams will be split on all three sides barely able to hold the record. This item will appear near valueless, unless of course it is a rarity that may not be seen again.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
