This is an album containing 8 original 78 rpm records by Elvis, all in VG+ condition or a little better. Really a great collection, with some Sun represses. Also included is a fun "bonus" record. The list written in the album (see photo) is correct, except the last three records listed there are not included. What we have here is as follows:
1 - Heartbreak Hotel / I Was the One (RCA 20-6420) - some very light surface scuffs but plays almost perfectly and just beautifully. There is spindle wear, and some tape on the spindle hole, but it isn't cracked or seriously damaged. There is a sticker tear on the a-side label. 
2 - I Want You, I Need You, I Love You / My Baby Left Me (RCA 20-6540) - similar condition to above. Taped spindle hole but not cracked or damaged as far as I can see. Sounds great. 
3 - Good Rockin' Tonight / I Don't Care if the Sun Don't Shine (RCA 20-6381) - slightly better than the two preceding. No tape on spindle hole, but some spindle marks. There are some light scuffs but fewer than on the preceding. I would say this copy is just shy of NM. Plays near flawlessly and just beautifully. 
4 - Mystery Train / I Forgot to Remember to Forget (RCA 20-6357) - almost as good as above. I call it E. Very light scuffs but they really don't affect the play at all. Plays near flawlessly. Incredible sound here. There is spindle wear, and on the A-side there is a small chip at the hole, but it does not affect the play at all, and is not indicative of any structural damage to the disc. A beautiful copy. 
5 - Hound Dog / Don't be Cruel (RCA 20-6604) - This copy is just gorgeous. Barely any scuffing and barely any spindle wear or label wear. A little, but overall a truly beautiful copy that plays perfectly.
6 - Blue Moon / Just Because (RCA 20-6640) - tape on the spindle hole again but this copy is near pristine and plays absolutely gorgeously. 
7 - Love Me Tender / Anyway You Want Me (RCA 20-6643) - another almost pristine copy. Just beautiful, except that someone for some unimaginable reason put tape on the grooves on the Love Me Tender side, and there is residue from four pieces of tape, though the tape itself has been removed. I am sure there is a way to get it off but I don't want to damage the record so I am not attempting it. The residue does make some pops when it is played, but if it could be removed it would be near mint. 
8 - I Got a Woman / I'm Counting on You (RCA 20-6637) - a few scuffs but plays near perfectly. Only a tiny bit of spindle marking. A beautiful copy. 
And the "Bonus" -- VIrginia Lowe singing I'm In Love With Elvis Presley, on Melba Records 107. A wonderful period novelty number in excellent condition. 
This is a tremendous and simply gorgeous collection of great-sounding originals. I will pack these delicate treasures as safely as can be. The high-ish shipping is for insurance.
