This is an auction for an ORIGINAL copy of the 1957 release of Playing For Keeps / Too Much released in the USA.
The record itself (47-6800 ) is in VERY GOOD+ / VERY GOOD condition and retains some of it's natural sheen .
There are some visible marks/ scratches but nothing too deep or drastic.
The labels are quite bright, however have some initials on Nipper on both sides (see photos)
This is the RARE issue WITHOUT THE HORIZONTAL LINE. (you could say this is this U.S equivilant of HMV SILVER WRITING UK issue!)
The picture sleeve is much sought after and was listed in a U.S guide book back in 2012 as $65 in the condition it is in now(which i would say is VERY GOOD+ )for the sleeve alone!!!
Although this sleeve is 57 years old there are NO SPLITS, RIPS, TEARS OR WRITING!!!!(see photos).
The only thing that stops this from grading higher is some ringwear/creases and age discolouration/speckling (see photos)
This is a GREAT affordable collection filler until that mint $130 record and sleeve come along
THIS ONE RARELY COMES UP FOR AUCTION!!!!
Overall this was valued at about $85(£53) back in 2012 , so i would guess this would have to be at least £55.
I will start this at under HALF of that!!
With a LOW START and NO RESERVE you might just get a genuine bargain.
Please look at my other auctions for some more great Elvis USA and Japanese picture sleeve lots.
I offer shipping discounts on multiple purchases! (Please request total invoice when through bidding!)
APOLOGIES FOR POSTAGE PRICE INCREASES BUT THIS IS DUE TO ROYAL MAIL RAISING COSTS AS OF APRIL 2015
