oday's Auctions:  Some incredible Elvis 7" records today, this is a great day for the Elvis collector, as I  continue to go through my collection and make available some truely outstanding Elvis records.  Check these out, starting with one of the top three Elvis records in the world today, "The Most Talked About Personality" and then moving on to some incredible Promo's and Gold Standards.  Days like this do not  come around often, so be sure and check these items closley, you may not see them again.

Closer Look At the Item:   This is about as good as it gets if you like the truely rare Elvis records.  In March of 1956 RCA pressed a very different version of EPB-1254, the normal issues of this double EP had two Elvis tracks on each side, this release features 3 tracks on each side.  This has always been considered the holy grail of Elvis collecting, only a handful in Elvis collectors collections throughout the world.  I purchased this spectacular item from Jerry Osborne many years ago.  He bought it from a long time collector that purchased it new and when purchased took single pocket paper sleeve and cut the front sleeve and attached it to the front of a double pocket cover.    The reason he did this is the original single pocket sleeve housed two records and two records rubbing together in one sleeve is a reciept for diaster.  So this is the original cover adhered to a generic two pocket cover, making this one much like the SPD-22 and 23 package.  The positive is it has kept the cover in pristine shape, this is the real deal, just looks like new.  Both records are stunning as well, the pictures of the labels actually contain some flash wash out, in person they do not show any issues, the vinyl is near mint on each of the four sides, not any wear to report.  The two records on this set are valued at $2000  for both in this condition, the cover is valued at $3500, this one probably is not worth quite that much because of the unusual packaging, but on the other hand it has preserved this original cover in probably unrivaled condition.  The back of this original cover was blank.  The back of this hard bound cover has the song titles listed, really this one looks incredibly professional, the owner was obviously very serious about this record and his respect for its rareness.  Just an incredible item, the only one I have ever had in my possession.  Would guess the value here to be in the $3000 to $4000 range.  No completest can be without this stunning record in spectacular shape.  Best of luck!

Note on Packaging:  All items are in shipped in mylar resealable sleeves, the  finest in the industry today.  Also the records are not packaged inside the original sleeves, instead packaged separately in a generic sleeve so no damage to the sleeve occurs in transit.

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!!!

Please Note:  I have recieved coorespondence for an international collector who believes this front cover is a bootleg, citing writing and color differences.  I have not ever doubted its authenticity as the source of this record was one of the most trusted names in the Elvis record collecting community and author the premier Elvis price guide, however, for the sake of full disclosure I thought I would add this international collectors thoughts in fairness to potential buyers.  I thought my ad was clear that the back of the cover was something created for this package, the original back cover is just blank, the song titles here are printed on the cardboard of the back cover.  There is no dispute as to the authenticity of the two original records and they of course are also different from the normal EPB-1254 as they have three songs on each side instead of two.
