Description
This is an auction for an ORIGINAL copy of the 1956 release of Hound Dog / Don't Be Cruel released in the USA.
The record itself (47-6604 )is in EXCELLENT- condition and retains A LOT of it's natural sheen.
There are minimal marks /scratches( nothing too deep or drastic though).
This is the RARE release WITHOUT the horizontal line.(see photos).
The labels are CRISP, CLEAN and have NO WRITING (see photos)
The picture sleeve is much sought after and was listed in a U.S guide book back in 2016 as $60 in the condition it is in now(which i would say is EXCELLENT- ) for the sleeve alone!!!
This was Elvis' first photo picture sleeve and has Hound Dog on the Top of this double "A" sided hit (the other variant of the sleeve has Don't Be Cruel on top)
This sleeve is 63 years old there are a few signs of age.(see photos).
The black and white colours are quite bright and sharp.(see photos)
There are NO PLITS, RIPS, TEASRS and there is NO WRITING!!
This is a great affordable collection filler until that mint $125 (£100+)
The record is now stored in a paper sleeve and the picture cover in a poly sleeve to prevent anymore wear to this great RARITY.
Overall this was still valued at about $90(£72) back in 2016 , so i would guess this would have to be at least £75.
I will start this at under a HALF of that!!
With a LOW START and NO RESERVE you might just get a genuine bargain.
Please look at my other auctions for some more great Elvis USA picture sleeve lots.
I offer shipping discounts on multiple purchases! (Please request total invoice when through bidding!)
APOLOGIES FOR POSTAGE PRICE INCREASES BUT THIS IS DUE TO ROYAL MAIL RAISING COSTS AS OF MARCH 2019
