Description

POP 253

 

This particular record still retains a lovely sheen. Viewing it under a 150W light bulb there are just a few very light scratches (mostly hairlines).

 

As far as sound quality is concerned this plays with light background noise pretty much throughout. This is to be expected though, as this is a very softly sung song. In fact, with the exception to the copy i have in my collection, this is very close to the best copy i have heard.

Please note though, i have only play graded the 'A' side.

 

‘A’ side label - A little fading to the gold lettering here and there, but nothing serious (see pic). That aside, label is fine with no rips, tears or writing on. 

‘B’ side label - Similar to above, but label has discoloured a little. Again, nothing serious. No rips, tears or writing on.  

 

Overall, this is still a quality record. In fact, it really is one of the best examples i have seen of this record. Early Elvis singles were played to death, and a lot of surviving copies are in terrible condition. This is by no means 'Mint', but it is still a very decent copy. The vinyl may no longer look new, but for a 55 year old Elvis record to remain looking this decent shows it has been well cared for over the years.

 

Although this record appears on ebay occasionally i really do believe you will be hard pressed to find a better all round copy

 

This record will be sent with it’s relevant company sleeve. The sleeve may be good, it may be not so good, it may even be a ‘Repro’. Pot Luck's the name of the game as far as company sleeves are concerned

 

I have now had to put a postage charge of £1.50 for my records. This charge stays the same whether you were to buy 1, 2 or 3 of my records, I can put up to 3 singles in 1 mailer). It is 1st Class (and I obtain proof of postage). I am a collector, not a Dealer, so I am not out to make a fortune on my postal charges, just to give still decent records decent new homes where they will be appreciated.

 

All singles I sell are sent out in brand-new mailers. I have to pay for these, so anyone who thinks my postal charges are a little high, please bear this in mind. I make no money on postal charges whatsoever, and when you consider there are sellers on ebay who charge £4.00 to send a single 45 to a U.K. postal address, you may realize my charges are not so bad after all

 

If you are unhappy with any of the above information then please do not bid

 

Thanks for looking and don't forget to check out other singles i have for sale.
