Elvis Presley, No 2, ORIGINAL 1957 UK HMV LP, CLP 1105
Elvis Presley, Rock 'n' Roll, No 2.

1957 UK pressed HMV Records mono LP, CLP 1105.

A nice and clean copy. The LP has been played, but not to excess. There is little whitening or wear to the spindle areas. Vinyl surfaces have little visible marks or scuffs. Closer inspection reveals a number of small and superficial hairlines, but for the most part these are sleeve removal type hairlines. There are no substantial scratches or gouges that I can see without a magnifying glass and the Surfaces are clean and with a good gloss still. Playback is very good throughout. There are no instances of audible ticks and clicks, continuous or otherwise, there are no skips or jumps and Recording is still bright and crisp. Both sides provide an enjoyable listening experience without background noise proving a distraction.

Labels are clean and undefaced both sides.Sleeve has also survived in reasonable condition with Some small tears but no heavy creases. there is a patch visable to the front of the sleeve (see pictures) and a mark on the back were tape has been aplied at an earlier date but otherwise damage is sparse.

In summary a really super issue, and in suitable condition. A combination of age, fragility of sleeve and subsequent popularity of Elvis means that most existing copies of this LP surface are in a very sorry state, with sleeves just about hanging together and vinyl surfaces a network of nasty scuffs and scratches.

This is not a mint issue, but is still a strong issue with no major faults. Copies of this LP in this kind of condition rarely surface on the open market as elvis made few records for hmv and little survive today.

A modest reserve has been set to protect my initial investment in this LP, but it is not excessive, and well under what I would consider the current market value.
