ELVIS PRESLEY - "FRANKIE AND JOHNNY" (LSP-3553) - IN SHRINK WRAP WITH BONUS PHOTO!

RECORD: VG+ and still retaining full gloss, although there are some very light hairline sleeve scuffs and other light marks. These should not affect the listening enjoyment as they are non-intrusive. An Original Soundtrack Recording from 1966, this record is the Monaural version which was pressed at the Rockaway plant. The labels are beautiful with barely even a spindle mark to be found! The matrix numbers end with 1S/7S.   

COVER:  EXCELLENT with the original shrink wrap still intact! The only reason that this cover misses the NM grade is due to an upper left corner bend along with a lower right corner "bump". The remainder of this cover is just as it was when it left the pressing plant in 1966! The Red hype sticker which announces the Bonus Photo inside the album is still Near Mint, bright and not faded. Jerry Osborne's "Presleyana VII" shows a value of $25 for this sticker just by ITSELF! Of course, the vast majority of these stickers ended up in the trash can along with the shrink wrap when people brought the album home from the from the record shop in 1966. The original store price sticker remains on the shrink ($2.76!) as well. This is a fully original, well-kept album and certainly worthy of being added to a collection of high-end Elvis Presley records and/or memorabilia.

BONUS PHOTO:  VG+ with a lower left corner crease as well as a lower right corner tip bend. Some yellowing is seen on the back at the corners, like that of a silhouette of the record which it was stored with. This is a nice, presentable photo and definitely worthy of framing if so desired.  

INNER SLEEVE:  Original "ELVIS" LP Catalog Inner Sleeve from the era.

GOOD LUCK!
