Due to an ongoing illness I am having to continue to sell off some of my prized Elvis Presley collection (records/cd's/memorabillia etc.), so please do check my items from time to time as I will try and list something each day.
This auction is for The E.P. Collection - Volume One. Released in the UK in the early '80s, this set houses reproductions of 11 Elvis Presley 45rpm. vinyl EP records. They come in nice, thick covers that are identical to the original releases throughout the 50's and 60's. My photos show the set with the case as well as scans of the accompanying booklet that gives a little detail about each of the releases.
Condition: The white folder is in a good, solid condition (no tears) and is generally clean with it's gold motif still looking very good. There is a very thin, but long, scratch through the front which hasn't torn the cover but is noticabe. The sleeves (that that hold the records) however, have 'shrivled' over time - the eps tended to stick to them over time. I have two of these sets (as well as 2 x volume 2) and it has happened to these as well. In fact, every set I have ever seen had a simmilar problem. For this reason, I have stored these singles out of the folder
The covers are very good condition with the exception of Jailhouse Rock (which has somehow got a very light scuff on the opening edge) and the GI Blues Alt. EP which looks a little browned on the fold on the back.
The vinyls are MINT and UNPLAYED.
Overall this is an excellent set considering it's age and MINT versions (if you see them) sell very highly.
I will be posting Royal Mail First Class recorded to ensure safe delivery which is reflected in my postal costs.
Please note: I also have VOLUME 2 for sale and will happily combine postage. If you do bid and win on the pair (or any other of my items), please wait for an invoice as, due to the weight, I may need to send using Parcelforce (again, this will be with recorded delivery). Thanks for looking!
