ARTIST - ELVIS PRESLEY TITLE - THAT'S ALL RIGHT B/W BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY LABEL - SUN CATALOG NO - 209
I believe this is an original pressing. There are obvious push marks that ring the labels as you can see in the pictures. Due to the label having lot's of age wear, you can only see one of the small circles on the label on the Kentucky side. I have shown a close up of that. The dead wax reads U-128-45 72 on Side One and U-129-45 72 on Side Two. There is lot's of age wear as I stated before and a dullness in the vinyl. There is a fairly loud hissing noise through out this aged classic but you can still hear the record fairly well. I did not have any skips. Due to the hiss and the dullness of the vinyl I would grade this at a Good Plus(G+), but it is NOT a throw away copy. Thanks for looking.
LOW starting bid and no reserve...thanks again.
International bidders- I do not change values on customs labels, and I may not be able to track in all places. For items over $50.00 I ship priority only. If item goes for over $50.00 PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE!!
I can combine shipping! Many times it means I can ship up to 3 LP's U.S. for the same cost as one, and possibly more 45's. International bidders - Combined shipping will be only based on weight, so I will need to know how many items are bought before sending invoice. Thanks again!!
VJ'S VINYL GRADING SYSTEM:
Mint - never used, once a record is opened, the top you can get is mint minus. Mint Minus - A great record, one or two fine hairline scuffs, sounds flawless. A mint minus record can "play" mint. Covers are new looking, may have shrink. Excellent - Can have faint hairline scuffs that do no affect play. Can have very minor infrequent crackling. Minor bumps in the cover. VG+ - Scuffs can be more prevalent, with a little more surface noise. If it visually has more scuffs but plays great, I will note that. Still, a very fine and playable copy. Covers have minor age and shelf wear. VG - Can have lots of hairline scuffs, and maybe one or two scratches. Surface noise more prevalent with some popping in spots. Covers have more extensive age and shelf wear. Minor splits. VG minus - More in the way of scratches and surface noise is NOT infrequent. Still, a viable copy. Covers may have splits. G+ - only reserved for a very rare or popular record. Very noisy, maybe some skips, scratches are evident. Covers are trashed. STILL SEALED - I will grade the vinyl as "still sealed." That means it's probably mint minus, but I do not know if there was any factory defects.
Hairline scuffs are light yet visible. You cannot feel them with the skin of your finger. (I cannot fathom feeling it with your fingernail as described in Goldmine...why would you do that?) Scratches you can feel. If I am on the fence between grades, I will go with the lower one. I will not use VG++ etc., but will say that a record is a "strong" VG+. "Age wear" on a cover is either fading or yellowing. "Shelf wear" is ring wear, corner bumps, or fraying.
I have added more pictures of the "That's All Right" side after I did some more digging and research. Push marks located in between All and Right with a visible half moon circle swooping through Crudup, another where you can see the half moon circle after the "N" in the Sun label, and one more going through the first sun "ray" to the left of the label. In addition, the "72" in the dead wax is about a half inch (possibly less) from the other numbers in the dead wax. I learned that later in later pressings the 72 was located much farther away. Thank you for your patience as we learn something new everyday!
