The Elvis Presley Collection ~ Promised Land

Comments on our grading methods and sales practices
We do our best to accurately describe the condition of our records and record sleeves.
We attempt to grade each record as conservatively as possible without misrepresenting actual condition.
We make every effort to adhere to the grading system outlined below.

That said we are humans and may miss something. Also it is a given that one man's light scratch will be another mans deep gouge.
So.......
If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase we will refund your money.
Please see our Customer Satisfaction & Return policy below.

Record grading is visual only, we do not play or clean records before shipping. Each LP is examined under a bright light for imperfections.

Comments:
This is no ordinary Elvis collection. The records presented in these listing belonged to my late brother Donald. Donald was an ardent and meticulous music lover whose love of Elvis and his music inspired him to perform as an Elvis impersonator. This was not at the Vegas level but more of a local community based endeavor that included singing along side Ritchie Valens and other talented artists in the greater Los Angeles area night club scene in the 50's and 60's. Donald took exceptional care of his music collection. His Elvis records, his pride and joy, were more pampered than most. Most LPs listed here will be pristine or at most have 1 or 2 minor marks. If not pristine the imperfections will be described in detail in the body of the listing. While you can find plenty of old Elvis records out there and likely cheaper you will find it difficult to match the quality of these LPs. Donald cared a lot and it shows. Record has 4 or 5 "ghosty" smudge like marks. They may not be smudges but just slight hazing type of marks. They are very minor and have zero chance of affecting playback. This is an exceptionally rare version of this LP. Orange Labels, Hollywood Pressing, Dynaflex.

Sleeve is very nice and solid. Small amounts of light shelf wear at the lower corners Tiny, (I mean tiny), amounts at the upper corners. There is residue from scotch tape that had been used on the cover previously to try and save the shrink wrap. The shrink is not present now. The residue may be cleanable but no promises. Original inner sleeve is in very nice condition. This LP is very difficult to find.
