On offer is an original UK copy of  "FROM THE WAIST UP" LP. ELVIS PRESLEY*FROM THE WAIST UP. + POSTER. RARE VINYL LP!! GREAT!!!. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!. SUPERB!!!!!!!!.
HERES A SUPERB 16 TRACK USA VINYL LP FROM ELVIS PRESLEY ENTITLED FROM THE WAIST UP
“From the Waist Up” Golden Archives 56-57 GA 150 was released in 1976 and originated in the US. 
This LP contains the three Ed Sullivan Appearances from September 9 1956, October 28 1956, and January 6, 1957.
This material was released the previous year on the LP titled “The King Goes Wild”. While the original outing of this material is a definite must have, so is this issue. 
The original release omitted Ed Sullivan’s comments during the second and third shows, however these comments are included on this release. 
The cover features a full colour photo of Elvis on stage circa 1955. 
The back has six photos taken from the Ed Sullivan performances and nice liner notes putting these performances into perspective. The presentation of this release rivals that of any official commercial release, and that is what makes these bootlegs so much fun!! 
The sound quality is  near excellent. The label has the familiar “Treasure Chest of Music” theme, which aptly represents the majority of the Golden Archives label releases. 
An anomaly of this release has been documented on the elvisvinyl.com website; a few copies of this LP were mistakenly given labels from the 1978-79 Golden Archives release “Rockin’ Rebel” vol. 2. 
Due to the quality of this LP it is not unlikely that it was repressed perhaps several times, which is a reasonable explanation for this label mix-up. I certainly would recommend this LP. 
Perhaps one of the most famous incidents surrounding Elvis took place on this program when, due to Ed Sullivan’s concerns about Elvis’ gyrations during his performances, Elvis was filmed only “From the Waist Up”…what a perfect title for this album!!

GRADING:

All records are graded using the UK ‘Record Collector’ format:

MINT (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. 

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. 

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.

PACKAGING INFORMATION:

LPs and singles will be sent in a record mailing envelope and will be protected by two cardboard stiffeners.

I am new to ebay but I am an experienced buyer of vinyl and I have a very good understanding of the grading system. I have been collecting for over 20 years and I have now decided to downsize my collection due to a lack of space.

I have an extensive collection of all genres of music ranging from the 50s, if there is anything that you specifically want please get in touch and I will put it up for auction..
