This is the King Of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley singing his two-sided hits "Don't Be Cruel" (# 1 in 1956) and "Hound Dog" (# 1 in 1956) on RCA 47- 6604. This classic Elvis record looks VG++ with minor surface markings but plays in NM condition and comes in an RCA Records company sleeve. There are 2 picture sleeves. The picture sleeve with the white banner at top is the RCA picture sleeve and it is in NM condition. This is the rarer RCA picture sleeve with "Don't Be Cruel in bigger lettering than "Hound Dog". The majority of these RCA picture sleeves featured "Hound Dog" in bigger lettering. The other picture sleeve with Elvis' name in gold letters is a custom picture sleeve made in Canada or England and is in MINT condition. This is a one-off sleeve that was not mass produced. All of this item comes in a clear, resealable, poly-vinyl protective sleeve with a cardboard backer separating the record from the picture sleeves. Price guides suggest a valuation of $105 to $150 for a NM copy of this record and picture sleeve. You can own this copy for the lower end of that range and receive this beautiful custom picture sleeve with it.  

U.S. postage and handling is free on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote. 

I grade in direct sunlight or under a high-intensity lamp to assure the most accurate grading possible. However, you have my unconditional guarantee that I will take the records back if you think that the records are not as stated. My reputation is what has kept me in business for 44 years. 

If you win multiple auctions, I will combine packaging to save you as much postage as possible. I ship with sturdy cardboard packaging to protect your records. Please review my feedback from previously satisfied customers. I have been buying and selling records for 44 years now and as of February 2023 I am celebrating 24 years on eBay.

Definitions:

Mint = 10 = Just like it came from the factory. May still be factory sealed. These will generally be priced close to collector value.

NM = 9 = Near Mint = Very minor surface markings that do not interfere with the audio playback. These will generally be priced at 80% to 90% of collector value.

VG++ = 7.5 = Very Good++ = The surface markings are more noticeable and may or may not affect the audio playback. Sometimes a record can look VG++ but still play in NM condition. These will generally be priced at 60% to 75% of collector value.

VG+ = 5 = Very Good+ = Now the surface markings are quite noticeable and they will generally be heard during audio playback. These will generally be priced at 40% to 50% of collector value.

Generally, I will not list records below VG+ unless it is a rare record of importance to collectors.
