Awesome thickly pressed, heavyweight giant and gives a buzz when held. A remarkable original vintage pressing with a tremendous mirror like sheen . Few surface marks visible on both sides but nothing detrimental to play.Can hardly believe this was released in 1958 !! Almost 50 years old and the true original first issue vinyl and sleeve in remarkable condition .
Rare maroon silver spot RCA labels in excellent condition with hardly any spindle wear visible. No damage to report and appear sensational against the polished vinyl surfaces. A few light surface marks/scuffs . NO deep scratches and the deep lustre of the jet black vinyl retains a beautiful sheen so not heavily played and very carefully handled.
Plays superbly! Minimum distortion! NO audible scratches, ticks or clicks. Tones are delivered with an exceptional depth and rise well above any surface disturbance. Light static in places but remains at a distance and the audio is graded excellent, considering the age of this vintage beauty. Presley’s vocals project in sensational style, sexy ,warm and mellow…His classic warbling which became his trademark , is heard on this record with exquisite clarity .
This extremely rare album release represents a success never attained by any other artist at any time-namely ten of sixteen consecutive golden records. Presley created an entire musical trend in motion. In this album is a vintage archive that caused the loudest noise around the entertainment world at that time!
Along with this stunning vinyl is the first issue gatefold sleeve , with stapled in 4 page booklet. A portfolio of photos which capture the look and star quality of this great vocalist.The laminated outer cover has a stunning sheen and the photo booklet is in excellent condition with no defacements at all. There are some laminate splits/peels along the spinal column and a 3 inch tear along the internal seam of the gatefold sleeve.
Remarkable condition and ultra clean, grading at least a very good + equivalent! Beautifully preserved!
Presley was in a class of his own and this album portrays his very best music, “Hound dog, love me tender, all shook up” and many more.. Heard at his very best and each track beautifully delivered in excellent style .
Stunning exhibit and impossible to locate in this remarkable condition .
