Description
HERE'S THE RARE FIRST ELVIS PRESLEY LP ALBUM LPM-1254 SELF-TITLED "ELVIS PRESLEY" LONG PLAY SILVER PRINT MONO VERSION WITH LIGHT PINK "ELVIS" WITH NEON GREEN "PRESLEY" ON THE COVER. FIRST ISSUE WITH "G2 PP1282-3S" STAMPED IN THE TRAIL-OFF ON SIDE 1 AND "G2 PP1282-5S" STAMPED ON SIDE 2. HERE'S MY GRADING, BASED MOSTLY ON THE GOLDMINE RATING SYSTEM:
RECORD: VG HIGH GLOSS, VERY FEW VERY LIGHT SCRATCHES ON SIDE 1 AND A FEW MORE SCUFFS AND LIGHT SCRATCHES ON SIDE 2. LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN WITH ONLY SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS AND ALMOST NO SPINDLE WEAR. (SEE PICS)
COVER: VG FRONT AND BACK ARE CLEAN AND STILL QUITE GLOSSY WITH ONE 3" SPLIT ON BOTTOM RIGHT SEAM AND A 5" SPLIT ON TOP SEAM ON RIGHT SIDE, GREAT SPINE WITH ALL THE PRINTING, VERY LITTLE RING WEAR, AND A SMALL BUMP ON BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. NICE COVER OVERALL CONSIDERING AGE. (SEE PICS)
PLAY GRADING: (NOTE PICS) SIDE 1, ALL TRACKS PLAY GREAT WITH HARDLY ANY BACKGROUND NOISE AND HAVE ONLY A FEW INSIGNIFICANT TICS OR POPS AND SOME VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE. SIDE 2, TRACKS 1 AND 2 ARE VERY GOOD AND 3 & 4 HAVE SOME TICS AND POPS WITH SOME SLIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE(NOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH) AND TRACK 5 PLAYS OK WITH A TIC-POP HALF WAY THROUGH AND TRACK 6 IS GREAT WITH ALMOST NEGLIGIBLE BACKGROUND NOISE. OVERALL, A PRETTY NICE PLAYING RECORD, AS I LISTENED TO IT TWICE AND WAS NO MORE THAN 3 FEET AWAY FROM THE SPEAKERS SO I COULD PICK UP ANY KIND OF BACKGROUND NOISE. FIDELITY IS GREAT.
I WILL SHIP BY USPS MEDIA MAIL TO U.S. LOCATIONS AND BY USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL MAIL TO OTHER LOCATIONS, BUT I WILL INSURE THIS RECORD MYSELF BECAUSE OF THE RARETY AND VALUE. PLEASE PAY BY PAYPAL AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

JUST A QUICK NOTE: I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE "G" STAMPED IN NUMBER IN THE TRAIL-OFF MEANS THIS IS A 1957 PRESSING. NOT SURE WHAT THE "2" RELATES TO, POSSIBLY A MONTH OR SECOND RUN. THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.
