Description
You have the opportunity to bid on this great example of Elvis' Second Album, simply titled "ELVIS" (LPM-1382), released in 1956 on the RCA Victor label. This record is a glossy, EXCELLENT example that is sure to please! This album is another high-end example in a long string of Elvis Presley LP's and singles that I will be gradually listing from my collection of over 35 years in the making. Unfortunately, there is no monaural "Speedway" or "Elvis' Gold Records, Vol. 4" in my holdings, but very few of the records that I will be listing will be in lower condition than "VG", as I have upgraded through the years, seeking out the best that I could find. I will make every attempt at listing the collection in cronological order through 1968, as the majority of collectors tend to stop there, but I will also list some post-1968 material as time goes on for those who may be interested.
This particular record with Matrix Numbers (Side 1): G2 WP7207-17S and (Side 2): G2 WP7208-20S, is very glossy and apparantly played with great care. It had to have been adult-owned all of its life! As mentioned above, It grades EXCELLENT and the labels are NM-, with very minimal spindle marks. There are some extremely light superficial hairline scratches caused by the record being pulled from the inner sleeve, but these in no way cause any audible disturbance. These are very common and should be expected on records of this vintage. The cover is EXCELLENT with just a tiny 1/8 of an inch split at the top at the open end. There is a penciled "3.98" at the top on the back side. A small amount of yellowing is noticed along the perimeter of the white area on the back from handling. The front slick has two miniscule scratch tears toward the spine side that are very close together. All of these mentioned items are trivial and minor, but mentioned for honesty sake. There is absolutely no major seam splits, spine breaks, tape, writing (except what was mentioned above), grafitti or stickers whatsoever! The lettering on the spine is highly legible. An awesome record and cover for being well over 56 years of age and a sure prize to hold in one's collection! See the photos for multiple views of this cover and the record to judge for yourself.
This album will come with its original "onion skin" Inner Sleeve (has tears along both side seams) along with a plain white sleeve and shipped with the record separated from the cover to prevent seam splits from the record sliding around during transit.
Good luck in your bidding and contact me if you have any questions.
