Very nice copy of the original 1958 true first pressing LP of Elvis' Golden Records on RCA LPM-1707. Blue lettering on front and no "RE" after the catalog number on the back. "Long Play" at the bottom of the labels. True first pressing, complete with the rare Fabulous Offer insert. The disc has some hairlines and sleeve scuffs but it plays near flawlessly and just beautifully. Barely the slightest crackle even between songs. Really a beautiful listen. I am calling it VG because these hairlines are visible under light, but they have almost no affect whatsoever on the sound. The cover is very nearly pristine and is one of the most beautiful original copies I have ever seen. There is a very minor corner ding at the lower right, and a very tight and almost unnoticeable split at the upper edge for about 2". Otherwise almost pristine, with crisp edges, a perfectly intact and readable spine, and no marks or tears. Just a beautiful copy. The insert has some creasing and light tearing at the upper left corner. The original inner is included, and has been torn a little, but I'm keeping it with the record because it really is the original. I'll put the disc in a better protective sleeve. Anyhow this is a beautiful original copy despite its minor flaws.
