COMMENTS:
PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE BIDDING
Here is a copy of the 1956 R ‘n’ R classic from Elvis on a 1st pressing HMV Gold Label, but there is a manufacturing flaw in the vinyl which has caused a ‘bump’ in the surface and a slight warp which has caused us to give this only a ‘VG’ grading. The flaw is shown in Pic.2. It looks a bit grainy because it has been zoomed in. However apart from a tiny bit of surface noise around the bump both sides play through perfectly as otherwise there are just light surface marks. As an Elvis fan will know, this is a particularly hard-to-find item in ANY condition and has been started here at a more than reasonable price. Would be perfect for a jukebox, if you had the nerve to push out the centre!! Very clean labels on both sides.
We always try to describe items accurately as our feedback rating shows and we always check condition under strong light. What we describe is what you get and our gradings are based on those in the Rare Record Price Guide (RRPG). If you want further information before bidding, please let us know and we will provide it. Customer satisfaction is very important. Also, we usually don’t show lots of pictures from every conceivable angle as this takes a long time to do and only gives extra profit to Ebay! If you want more photos before you bid, let us know and we will email you direct, but PLEASE allow enough time (1-2 days) before the auction end.
BEFORE BIDDING, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE CONDITIONS BELOW
MULTIPLE BIDS - are very welcome as it keeps postage and postal charges down, but we will only accept multiple bids at one time within a 10 DAY SALES PERIOD. So please settle accounts no more than two weeks after winning the first item. Many thanks.
NON PAYMENT - We welcome all potential buyers, but do not appreciate people who ‘bid’ but then do not pay when auctions have ended, so please do not bid if you are not going to buy. If you do we will report you to Ebay immediately.
PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE AT THE END OF THE AUCTION AS WE WILL GIVE YOU A POSTAL DISCOUNT IF YOU HAVE WON MORE THAN ONE ITEM FROM US.
