Original 1950s Elvis Presley LP entitled, "Elvis' Golden Records." This is on the RCA Victor label LPM 1707 (original, first MONO pressing; black 'deep groove' labels with the 'LONG PLAY 33 and 1/3' text printed along the bottom edge). This is the original, first pressing from 1958 with the album title in light blue lettering on the front side, no 'RE' suffix after the catalog number in the upper-right corner of the back side and with the catalog number printed inside the RCA Victor box in the upper-right corner of the front side as well. Grading is as follows: 
The vinyl is in absolutely beautiful near mint condition with full gloss and it looks nearly unplayed!! One very tiny, faint spindle mark on each of the labels. Comes with its original company advert inner sleeve; however, the record is now housed in newer, polylined/antistatic sleeve. Just super!! 
The cover is a very sharp VG+ to VG++ and it looks great also!! The front is perfect!! The back is very bright and clean also with just a few tiny little 'aging specks' along the left edge only, a small old store price sticker residue 'spot' in the upper-left corner, and one very small faint 'pressure wrinkle' in the upper- and lower-right corner tips as well. No splits, no tears, no creases, no writing, no stains, no cutout holes, no delete marks, etc.

My vinyl and cover/sleeve gradings are as follows:


MINT: I do not use this grade except for sealed/unopened items.


NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS: Vinyl looks basically brand new, untouched, unplayed or nearly unplayed. Cover looks pretty much as new with no real flaws to speak of. This is basically how the item would have looked when it was new from the factory.


VG++: Very close to M-, with vinyl showing only the very slightest, most subtle signs of any past handling or play. Cover may show just the barest hint of wear from age, but nothing at all serious or detracting. 


VG+: Vinyl shows some subtle signs that it was played in the past, but was generally well taken care of. Cover shows only some minor signs of age or wear, but nothing too detracting.


VG: Vinyl is beginning to show more obvious signs of past handling and play but still has strong sound quality overall. Cover is beginning to show more signs of age and wear, but is fully intact and still displays very well overall.


GOOD: Vinyl has very obvious signs of wear from over the years, but still plays strongly and enjoyably enough. Cover has obvious wear and tear from age, but is intact and still displayable.


***My very good and good records are very good and good, not bad and even worse! I also do not use the EX (excellent) grading at all.***


FAIR:  Record wasn’t properly cared for in the past and very clearly shows it, but it is still playable and should be enjoyable enough for some. I rarely offer records in this condition.
