ELVIS PRESLEY - "ELVIS PRESLEY" (EPA-830) - STUNNING NM- FIRST PRESSING FROM 1956!

RECORD:  NM- and oozing with eye appeal! One would be extremely hard-pressed to locate a superior copy as this example. This Indianapolis pressing exhibits full, original gloss with just a few barely visible surface scuffs. This record is so clean and original, I saw no reason to test-play it as it should perform like new! The labels are NM- with a small tape remnant on the Side 2 label. It is assumed that this once held down a number label for filing. It would not be advisable to attempt to remove this tape remnant as it may irreversibly damage the original label. These early Elvis E.P.'s are exceedingly rare this nice as the vast majority were purchased by teenagers at the time who were vaguely educated on proper record care. The matrix numbers end with 1S/1S. If you are looking for perfection on a 45 E.P. of this vintage, this record will be as close as you may ever find!

COVER:  VG++ (EXC) with absolutely no seam splits, tape, writing, stickers or staple holes. There is, however, a bit of a bend to the lower right-hand corner as well as a few very light stains on the front. A horizontal scratch can be seen on the front as well. It runs just between the "R" & "E" in "PRESLEY" as it is spelled vertically. The back is SUPER clean! The only detraction might be the fact that the back slick was applied a bit skewed. the spine and edges are smooth all the way around and the corners very pleasing. Overall, this cover is simply beautiful and becoming harder to find in this state of preservation. Hard to believe that this package is 59 years old! This E.P. includes four songs, “Shake, Rattle And Roll”, "I Live You Because”, “Blue Moon” and “Lawdy, miss Clawdy".

GOOD LUCK!
