An original 1st press of G.I. Blues on UK RCA Mono from 1960. Matrix 2B/2B. Correct silver spot labels that mention 'recording 1st pub' and the text code is "ET". The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original 1st issue scalloped cover [correct for '60]. We also have the original Decca inner sleeve. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex-/Vg+) In very nice condition - don't be put off by the grading. Elvis records are usually in pretty poor condition after a 60 year lifespan. But this example is looking still very nice and performs very nice indeed. Light to moderate use, but very accomplished. A couple of light marks per side, a couple of blemishes - but nothing nasty looking. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly NEAREXCELLENT level of payback with a couple of deviations. Again, don't underestimate that level - this is pretty decent for an original Elvis LP and it is a capable performer. Intros and inbetweens are very nice and clean and the audio comes across with excellent clarity. All I could detect were a few minor crackles in one track per side [e.g. Track 1]. But both brief and minor. Even the fussy tracks toward the end of side 2 play real nice and clean. One solitary click in the final track. Overall - a really very decent standard.
Cover (Ex-) Usually is found in pretty poor condition, but this example is still looking pretty dandy. Most have aged, but this copy seems to have largely avoided that. A clean front with just a couple of light creases. The rear is very tidy too with secure and intact flipbacks. Spine is 100% intact.
Inner (Ex-) A touch of minor ageing. Bag present. No edge splits. One small tear [repaired].
