Here is your chance to own Elvis Presley's first record album. In 1956 there were 3 different pressings of this album.This is the second pressing, which has the color pale pink and neon green on the front cover. The pale pink color is in the name "ELVIS and the RCA dog in the logo box", which is at the top right corner of front cover. The neon green is in the name "PRESLEY and RCA Victor and record number, in the logo box. The other way to tell that this is the second pressing, is the writters on the song "JUST BECAUSE" which is (Bob Shelton-Joe Shelton-Sid Robin), while the first pressing show's "P.D.",  (PUBLIC DOMAIN).

( CONDITION OF COVERS,  LABELS &  RECORD )

THE FRONT AND BACK COVER SHOWS NO WRITING,  NO RIPS OR TEARS,  NO STAMPS.  THERE IS A NAME TAG ON THE FRONT COVER, WHICH IS MY TAG, ONE OF THE FIRST ALBUMS THAT I PURCHASED.   THERE ARE NO SPLITS ON THE SEAMS OR SPINE. THERE IS SOME COLOR LOSS TO SOME AREA'S OF THE EDGES AND CORNERS, THIS WAS DUE TO HITTING OF THE EDGES AND CORNERS OVER THE YEARS.  THEIR IS VERY LIGHT STACKING OR SHELF WEAR ON THE FRONT COVER, HARD TO SEE.  THE BACK COVER SHOWS LIGHT FINGER SMUDGES SPOTS ON THE EDGES, THIS WAS DUE FROM HANDLING OF COVER OVER THE YEARS.     PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURE'S TO SEE WHAT I AM DESCRIBING.

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, I DO NOT USE THE LP COVER TO STORE THE RECORD, AND HAVE NOT DID SO FOR MANY YEARS.  I STORE THE THE RECORD SEPERATELY IN A PAPER SLEEVE, SO NOT TO DAMAGE THE COVER, AND TO PROTECT THE EDGE SEAMS.  AS MOST COLLECTORS KNOW IT ONLY TAKES 1 INSERT OF THE RECORD, AND YOU HAVE A SPLIT EDGE SEAM, ESPECIALLY WITH A COVER OVER 50 YEARS OLD. 

THIS LP ALBUM IS A GREAT FIND FOR  ANY COLLECTION. ROCKIN' RECORDS PRICE GUIDE #2009 BOOK BY JERRY OSBORNE LIST THIS RECORD FOR ORIGINAL = $500/700

I USE THE GOLDMINE RECORD GRADING GUIDE AND I USE THE JERRY OSBORNE & KREITER 8TH EDITION PRICE GUIDES  FOR PRICING.

( PLEASE READ GRADING GUIDE CAREFULLY BEFORE BIDDING ON RECORDS, I DO NOT USE MINT IN MY DISCRIPTION )

MINT- (M-): A RECORD THAT LOOKS LIKE IT IS ALMOST MINT, BUT IT HAS SMALL FLAWS THAT DO NOT EFFECT THE PLAY OF THE RECORD.

VERY GOOD + (VG+): RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED AND PLAYED INFREQUENTLY OR VERY CAREFULLY, THIS COULD MEAN THAT THERE ARE LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS, OR SLIGHT SCRATCHES THAT WILL NOT EFFECT THE PLAY. LIGHT WARPS THAT DO NOT EFFECT THE SOUND ARE OK.

VERY GOOD (VG): THE RECORD COULD SHOW SIGNS OF HANDLING AND PLAYING, SUCH AS LOSS OF VINYL LUSTRE, LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES, GROOVE WEAR AND SPINDLE TRAILS FROM COUNTLESS SPINS ON THE TURNTABLE. THE RECORD MAY HAVE SOME AUDIBLE SURFACE NOISE WHEN PLAYED, ALTHOUGH ANY SUCH NOISE SHOULD NOT OVERWHELM THE MUSIC.

GOOD (G): GOOD SHOULD MEAN THE RECORD IS WELL-PLAYED WITH ANY NUMBER OF DEFECTS SUCH AS COMPLETE LOSS OF SURFACE SHEEN, AGRAVATING SURFACE NOISE ETC. BUT CAN STILL BE PLAYED WITHOUT SKIPPING.

I AM VERY CONSERVATIVE IN MY GRADING, I TRY TO LIST ALL THE FLAWS IN THE RECORD, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO EMAIL ME.
