Play tested. This has been well played over the years. There is a fair amount of surface noise and slight distortion. I’ve pictured the record in daylight so you can see the condition of the shellac. Plays all the way through; no skipping. Please take a good look at the pictures. I have been cautious with my grading as I wouldn't want to disappoint any buyers. 

I am an experienced eBay seller, 8 years on this account but over 20 years in total, and will ensure the record is securely packaged. I am not experienced in grading vinyl, but I have play tested everything that I have listed and followed the Record Collector grading system which has the same grades as here on Ebay. The grading is as follows:

Mint - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration of sound quality.

Excellent - The record shows some signs of having been played but there is lessening of sound quality.

Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times but displays no deterioration of sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and an occasional light scratch.

Good - The record has been played so much the sound quallity has noticeably deteriorated perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.

Fair - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise. It may even jump.

Poor - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.

Bad - The record is unplayable and might even be broken and is only of use as a collection filler.

This vintage Elvis Presley HMV 78 rpm vinyl record is a must-have for any music collector. Featuring the classic hit songs "Hound Dog" and "Don't Be Cruel", this 10" shellac record is a rare find from 1956.

Perfect for fans of the King of Rock and Roll, this single comes from his early days and is sure to transport you back in time.
