SETTLE IN FOR A LONG RUN OF COLLECTABLE LPs OF VARIOUS MUSICALS STYLES.  This is a reasonably priced ORIGINAL 1957 RCA VICTOR RECORDS U.S. FIRST PRESS MONO LP titled 'Elvis' Christmas Album', the very first issue of the album containing twelve holiday tracks from Elvis Presley.  It is RCA Victor Records catalog number LOC-1035, deep groove heavy vinyl pressing, 1S/1S first pressing stampers, black labels with silver print, smaller RCA Victor logo at the tops of the labels, 'Long 33-1/3 Play' inscription at the bottoms of the labels.  Cover is the heavy cardboard gatefold with the 10-page color picture book bound on the inside.  Tracks: Santa Claus Is Back In Town, White Christmas, Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane), I'll Be Home For Christmas, Blue Christmas, Santa Bring My Baby Back (To Me), Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem, Silent Night, (There'll Be) Peace In The Valley (For Me), I Believe, Take My Hand Precious Lord, It Is No Secret (What God Can Do).  Overall condition of this item is somewhat better than is usually seen - Condition of record is a low to mid VG+ with a moderate amount of visible surface marks which cannot be felt and do not affect play.  Labels have some spindle marks and wear around the center hole and a little contact wear.  Condition of cover is a high VG/ low VG+ with some light staining from moisture at the top left corner of the front cover and the top left corner of the back cover, a little flaking along the spine, a 1" split at the top of the spine, some contact wear, and some white wear along the edges and on the corners.  On the positive side - the picture book is still fully bound inside the gatefold cover, is not missing any pages, and is in nice shape, and the cover has just the one small split at the top of the spine with no splits along the top and bottom edges and has no tape, tears, writing, or stickers.  The original RCA Victor Records stock inner sleeve is also included.  This LP is tough to find in decent collectable condition, it is a first press, and it would be a choice addition to any Elvis Presley record collection! Winning bidder pays $3.50 media mail postage or actual priority mail postage within the U.S. I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE - Uninsured first class international airmail postage to the UK or anyplace in Europe EXCEPT FOR GERMANY is $14.50 - PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS CONTINUING FAILURE TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES, I AM FORCED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL $11.50 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY TO ALL SHIPMENTS GOING TO GERMANY.  I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, BUT I CANNOT CONTINUE TO LOSE MONEY AND HAVE MY EBAY REPUTATION DAMAGED BY THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS' INABILITY TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES.   Please e-mail me for postage rates to other areas outside the U.S. WINNING BIDDER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE!
