This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.
This is an auction for an ORIGINAL copy of the 1958 EP release of ELVIS PRESLEY in King Creole released in the USA.
The record itself (EPA-4319 dog on top) is in VERY GOOD+ condition with some visible marks/scratches and retains some of it's natural sheen.
The centre labels have NO WRITING (see photos).
The THICK CARDBOARD picture sleeve is much sought after and was listed in a U.S guide book back in 2016 as $32 in the condition it is in now VERY GOOD+ for the sleeve alone!!!
This sleeve is 64 years old and is in nice condition for the age.
There are NO SPLITS, RIPS or TEARS
The only thing that stops this from grading even higher is some scuff marks / ringwear and a pencil price on the rear (see photos)
This is a really affordable collection filler until that MINT £60+ 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 $45 (£30 approx) .
I dont have a current price guide but i would say at least £32.
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 AND EBAY TAKING 13% OF THE POSTAGE COSTS
