This is an auction for an Original copy of the HARD TO FIND 1956 EP release Heartbreak Hotel released in the USA.

The record itself (EPA-821 dog on top) is in VERY GOOD condition retaining some of it's natural sheen with some visible marks/scratches but nothing that can be felt.(see photos)

The centre labels have some ringwear and shading on Nipper but NO WRITING (see photos)

This is also the RARE version WITHOUT the Silver line.

The THICK CARDBOARD picture sleeve is much sought after and was listed in a U.S guide book back in 2016 as $65 in the condition it is in now (which I would say is VERY GOOD+ / VERY GOOD) for the sleeve alone!!!

This sleeve is in reasonable condition for the age.

There is NO WRITING (see photos)

The thing that stops this from grading even higher is some ringwear / scuffs ( normally heavier with this release) , tape along the top and a small piece of the bottom left corner is missing (see photos)

That said , This is a really affordable addition to fill any collection until that Mint $145 record and sleeve come along.

The record is also stored in a separate paper sleeve to prevent anymore wear to this RARE sleeve!!

Overall 2 years ago this was valued at $105 (£95 approx.) 

I don't have a current price guide but I would say at least £100.

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)
