(Andy & Diane's records)

As serious collectors of vinyl over the last 50 years we are downsizing our collection. So look out for some really nice items for sale. Sorry to see them go, but space is now important. So good luck!

IF YOU BUY MORE THAN ONE ITEM FROM US PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE AT THE END OF THE AUCTION AS WE WILL GIVE YOU A POSTAL DISCOUNT

TITLE -  THE TRUTH ABOUT ME

LABEL & CAT.NO -  NONE

RELEASE DATE - 1957

VINYL GRADING -  'GOOD/VG' CONDITION BOTH SIDES

THERE ARE SURFACE MARKS ON THE VINYL, BUT BOTH SIDES PLAY THROUGH PERFECTLY. HOWEVER PLEASE NOTE!!: YOU WILL NEED TO PLAY THIS RECORD ON AN OLD STYLE RECORD PLAYER OR GRAMOPHONE. ALTHOUGH IT PLAYS THROUGH FINE, THERE IS A LOT OF HISS DURING PLAY IF PLAYED ON A MODERN STEREO SYSTEM WHICH MAKE AUDIBILITY DIFFICULT AT TIMES. IT WAS NOT PRESSED TO BE USED ON THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT, ALTHOUGH MANY STEREOS WILL NOT HAVE A 78rpm OPTION ANYWAY

LABELS - CLEAN LABEL. NOTE: THIS DISC IS SINGLE-SIDED, JUST LIGHT SPINDLE HOLE MARKS.

SLEEVE -  ORIGINAL MAILER SUPPLIED WITH THE ORIGINAL STIFFENER (SEE PHOTOS). THE MAILER HAS A NAME AND ADDRESS ON IT. I HAVE PROTECTED THE PRIVACY OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER BY USING A 'POSTIT' NOTE OVER THE NAME AND ADDRESS, WHICH CAN EASILY BE LIFTED OFF WITHOUT CAUSING ANY DAMAGE.

COMMENTS -  THIS IS A RARE PIECE OF ELVIS MEMORABILIA, ISSUED BY THE WEEKEND MAIL NEWSPAPER AS A 'MAIL ORDER ONLY' FREEBEE IN 1957. IT IS SPOKEN WORD ONLY AND IS AN INTERVIEW RECORDED IN 1956 ABOUT HIS LIFE AND DREAMS AT THAT POINT. IT PLAYS WELL ON THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT AND IS A NICE PIECE TO OWN FOR ANY ELVIS COLLECTOR

If you want further information or photos before bidding, let us know and we will email you direct, but PLEASE allow enough time (1-2 days) before the auction ends.

PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE AT THE END OF THE AUCTION AS WE WILL GIVE YOU A POSTAL DISCOUNT IF YOU HAVE WON MORE THAN ONE ITEM FROM US.
