ELVIS PRESLEY ELVIS’ CHRISTMAS ALBUM (LOC-1035) ORIGINAL 1957 ISSUE, COMPLETE with INTACT PHOTO ALBUM

 

RECORD: VG with several light scratches and scuffs, none of which can be felt with the fingertip. This Indianapolis pressing has been play-tested in full and plays well but with some surface noise, including random “ticks”, but definitely no skips or repeats! The labels are clean and original with some light spindle marks, mainly on the Side 2 label. This album is much scarcer than the highly coveted debut album, “Elvis Presley” (LPM-1254) due to the fact that it was available for only one year, 1957-58. For Christmas 1958, the album was renumbered LPM-1951 and was given an entirely redesigned cover with the back side showing photos of Elvis in his Army uniform. This record has matrix numbers ending with 1S/1S.

COVER: VG+ gate fold cover with the Photo Album inside being fully intact with no torn pages or any writing of any kind. Of course, like approximately 85% of these, the spine shows cracking and wear (please see all 12 photos of this item!). This is the gold spine lettering like most copies of LOC-1035. Very few are found with silver lettering and in over 40 years of handling Elvis records, I have yet to lay eyes on a single copy with silver lettering. There is a 2-inch upper seam split as well as some additional edge and corner wear. This album was released in November of 1957 and includes the smash hit,  “Blue Christmas”. The original “RCA Victor” inner sleeve is also included. Fully original! 

 

 


GOOD LUCK!
