This is an auction for an ORIGINAL copy of the 1956 EP release of ELVIS PRESLEY - Strictly Elvis released in the USA.
The record itself (EPA 994 dog on top) is in VERY GOOD condition with some visible marks/scratches and retains some of it's natural sheen.(see photos)
There are some visible marks / scratches but nothing that can be felt. ( but hence the lower starting price)
The centre labels have NO WRITING but do have some ringwear!(see photos)
This is the RARE issue WITHOUT Horizontal Silver Line.
This is also a 1st pressing as indicated by the 1s stamped in the trail off on both sides.
The THICK CARDBOARD picture sleeve is much sought after and was listed in a U.S guide book back in 2016 as $55 in the condition it is in now (which i would say is VERY GOOD+) for the sleeve alone!!!
This sleeve is in reasonable condition for the age.
(see photos)
There is NO WRITING. (see photos)
The front of the cover is quite nice.
This would grade higher but there is a small piece of the top left corner missing , other corner wear and some ringwear / discolouration / staining ( hence the lower starting price)
This is a really affordable collection filler until that MINT £95+ copy comes along.
The record is also stored in a separate paper sleeve to prevent anymore wear to this sleeve!!
Overall 2 years ago this was valued at $70 (£55+ approx) .
I dont have a current price guide but i would say at least £57
With a LOW START and NO RESERVE you might be able to grab yourself a bargain!!!
Please look at my other auctions for some more great Elvis USA 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 MARCH 2019
