Elvis Presley - Regresa - RCA Victor LPD-544. Original 1960 Cuban pressing. Cover & vinyl in FAIR to POOR Condition (see below for more info)

MORE GRADING INFO: When I recently came across this LP in a Havana,Cuba shop my first impression was that this record was in POOR condition. When I arrived home I cleaned the record using the Spin Clean Record Washing System MK II. The vinyl now looks shiny. I played a few tracks and there is surface noise and some tracks skipped. The jacket is made of thick cardboard that was subsequently taped probably some thirty years ago. The picture of Elvis however looks good although the back cover has stains. The pictures are scans of the actual front and back covers and the labels are scans of the actual labels. This LP was issued on black, white and red labels. According to Popsike there were 14 copies of this LP sold since 2005. Normally, I do not list records in this condition but seening as to the rareness of this pressing I have chosen otherwise. According to the 2012 Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide this LP falls under the category of "FAIR" but as my first impression was "POOR", I have listed it in Fair to Poor condition. I believe I have given it an accurate and strict rating. I have reviewed all 14 copies that were listed as sold on Posike and I certainly think that my copy has been better and more accurately graded than many of the copies sold. I prefer to say that my copy is in Fair to Poor condition rather than to overstate the condition and disappoint a buyer. The label actual reads "Regresso Elvis - Vol. VIII" which I haven't noticed on other copies that were sold. This means that there may have been more than one pressing of the "black" label. Both the labels as well as the jacket list the catalogue number as LPD 544. Returns are not accepted on this LP.

Shipping Cost: $4.00 - USA / $6.00 - Canada / $11.50 - rest of world




Pictures:

All pictures displayed for this listing are of the actual item being sold. The front and back cover of Elvis - Regresa were scanned using a high end software. The scans are of the actual vinyl LP that is being auctioned. The pictures of the two labels were also scanned and are of the actual record that I am auctioning.

About Me:

I have been collecting vinyl records for the past 40 years. I have been doing mail-order of vinyl records for 25+ years. I know what record collectors are looking for and so I grade my records very strictly.I also know how to properly package records and use the correct packaging. All packages are properly addressed - your address is copied directly from your Paypal accoount, pasted to paper then taped on the package. I cannot make a mistake in addressing your package (unless you made the error yourself!). My return address is always on the parcel. Records are removed from theur rspective sleeves when packaged.

Terms and Conditions:

By placing a bid on this item you have read and agreed to the terms and conditions listed below as regards grading, shipping and returns.

GRADING:

Sleeves are graded first followed by the vinyl. Example: EX/VG means that the sleeve is in excellent condition and the actual vinyl record is in Very Good condition. Where there is only one grade as in VG this means that the record does not come with a picture sleeve or jacket. Usually this applies only to 45s as all LP records I sell have jackets.

All records are strictly graded according to the guidelines of Record Collector magazine and the 2012 Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide.

M = Mint The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioation in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EX = Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VG = Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

G = Good:
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

F = Fair: The record is still just playable but has been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

P = Poor: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The record and contents will be badly damaged, or partly missing.

B = Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only used as a collection-filler.

SHIPPING INFO:

Although I am situated in Canada all items are shipped by the United States Postal System (USPS). Goods are shipped once a week on Friday or Saturday. Shipping merchandise from the US ensures that you have the very lowest postal rate. Since the closest US Postal Office is 60 miles away, I accumulate parcels and travel there once per week – usually Friday or Saturday. I arrange to have my auctions end on Sunday evenings then invoice the customers, wait for the Paypal payments and then package the goods. All packages are carefully packaged and are properly identified with my return address.

The time span for a parcel to reach a USA customer is approximately two (2) weeks from the date the auction ends. Goods are usually shipped to US customers by media mail and include a US postal Service Confirmation Receipt in order to track your parcel. For Canadian and International customers please expect delivery in two (2) to three (3) weeks from the time the auction has ended. Surprisingly, shipping to a Canadian address from the US is less expensive than shipping the goods from within Canada.

Please consider the above when leaving feedback on E-Bay. As I am situated in Canada and getting you the very lowest postage rate by shipping from the USA the transit time is five (5) to six (6) days longer due to the consolidation of packages and then driving to the USA. Taking the above in consideration it would be appreciated if you left a five star rating on E-Bay in all categories.
