Signed personally (not facsimiles) as part of this promo by Elvis and the Attractions, Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Bruce Thomas. (The Steve Nieve stamp next to his autograph is incorrectly spelt 'Neive')
NB The record contains brief intros by Elvis to each individual track then plays the whole track. All 'Almost Blue' tracks included.
CONDITION
RECORD VG++ I have play tested this record. Both sides look great, barely played, with only a couple of light marks. A few light crackles occasionally only during Elvis' spoken intros.
Side Two is perfect, a definite EX.
Under a very bright light Side One is sort of 'silvery' in parts (I can't think of a better way to describe it but not bag-rash/marbling) but it still plays absolutely fine (EX). Side One, however, does have a repeated light crackle during the first half of track 6 Brown to Blue, despite there not being a mark on the vinyl, so I've dropped the overall grading to VG++.
COVER VG++ See images. Sound and strong unlaminated sleeve but 5 tint raised tears to the spine; a tiny tear to the top of the front and a very small mark on the rear.
Labels EX Very few spindle marks.
