This is the King Of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley singing "Mystery Train" and "I Forgot To Remember To Forget" on Sun 223 from 1955. This is a guaranteed original Sun Record (delta numbers 5498 and 5499 are etched in the dead wax indicating this record was made in July of 1955) . This record looks VG++ with minor surface markings but plays in NM condition and comes in a Sun Records company sleeve. Also included is a custom picture sleeve that was available over the internet in the early 2000's. This record comes in a clear, resealable, poly-vinyl protective sleeve. Price guides suggest a range of $1,200 to $2,5000 for a NM copy. This grading is probably an i8 out of 10. You can own this copy for the mid-point of that range.

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.
