This is an auction for an ORIGINAL copy of the release of VIVA LAS VEGAS / WHAT'D I SAY released in JAPAN

The record itself ( SS-1427)is in VERY GOOD condition and retains a lot of it's natural sheen.

THIS WOULD GRADE A LOT HIGHER (EX-) IF IT WASNT FOR A HEAT WARP WHICH MAKES IT LOOK VISUALLY WORSE.(hence the lower starting price)

I have played this through on both sides and the heat warp does not affect play!

There are a few marks/ scratches but nothing too deep or drastic!

The labels are also clean and have No Writing or marks.

The tri centre has been dinked out to make it suitable for a jukebox

The Japanese design wonderfully different sleeves for their releases and this is NO EXCEPTION

The record is housed in a RCA VICTOR sleeve and it comes accompanied by a GREAT TRI GATEFOLD Picture/ Lyric sleeve(see photos).

The photo side has NO SPLITS or WRITING.

There are NO tape marks ( normally very common with Japanese releases).

There is some age discolouration/speckling on the lyric side and a corner has been cut out (which i am led to believe was done to signify a promo/demo distributed copy)

 The LYRIC side contains the Lyrics to both songs in JAPANESE and ENGLISH! (see photos)

The sleeve grades as VERY GOOD+.

There are some great photos of Elvis and the beautiful Ann-Margaret(see photos)

The record and sleeve are protected by a poly sleeve.

With a LOW starting price and NO RESERVE you might be able to grab yourself a bargain!!!

Please look at my other auctions for some more great Elvis USA and Japanese picture sleeve lots.

I also offer shipping discounts on multiple purchases!

APOLOGIES FOR POSTAGE PRICE INCREASES BUT THIS IS DUE TO ROYAL MAIL RAISING COSTS AS OF APRIL 2014.
