ELVIS PRESLEY - JAILHOUSE ROCK

Disc grading - Good, see Grading notes, below.

4 pictures uploaded, front and rear of the disc - apologies for the tripod reflection - and a view of the label details.

You are looking at a listing for an item that is in excess of 55 years old. Surface noise and signs of antiquity, either visually or on playback are to be expected.

Use the eBay 'Mouse Over to Zoom / Click to Enlarge' feature for meticulous scrutiny of the condition of the item.

Absolute classic, a real piece of Rock & Roll history, undeniably exciting from the very first, opening moments...original, early issue, 10" vinyl, with obvious signs of age, storage and other cumulative marks in line with 58 year vintage...

Please read the record grading guide below and familiarize yourself with the grades used and be aware of the full description in all aspects.

I strive to grade fairly, and have never sold a record without listening to it first.

Visual grading is not an option at all.

This 55+ year old vinyl 78 I have graded as being in Good condition. Both sides play through with no jumping, skipping or any other audio horrors.

Note that there is a noticeable scratch on the A side, but also note that the record plays without any skipping. 

As well as the mark, noted above, there are the usual minor hairline surface marks that any 78 of this vintage would accumulate over the passage of time, but they are mainly visual and have no real impact on playback. 

There is the expected low-level and generally non-intrusive surface noise, typically common to any used disc of this vintage, and which shouldn't spoil your authentic listening experience!

A perfectly acceptable vinyl-to-mp3 transfer, with a suitable turntable. Keep it real but in a digital way!  

Plain, new sleeve. 

The labels are in good condition, with light storage wear, but no major defects, see close-up pictures uploaded. In black and silver with traditional RCA Victor 'Nipper the Dog', attentive, as ever...

GRADING GUIDE FOR 78rpm DISCS

NM Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

EX+ Plays like new, with few signs of handling. Minor scuffs visible.

EX Very shiny, nearly new looking. No visible signs of wear, inaudible scuffs and scratches.

VG++ Still shiny, but without the lustre of a new record. A few light scratches. Light wear. No skipping or sticking passages.

VG+ Above average, undeniably vintage condition 78 in which scuffs and general use have dulled the finish of the disc. Wear is moderate, but playback is not overly affected, and is free from distortion. Light surface noise, commensurate with age. No skipping or sticking passages.

VG Moderate, even wear throughout, still very playable. Surface noise and scratches, audible but not intrusive.

Good++ Quite playable still, distortion on playback due to surface noise. Music remains loud, in most passages, with scratches and surface noise evident but below music level.

Good+ Serviceable and acceptable playback. Music may sound muffled in some sections. Noticeably heavier scratches and surface marks.

Good Quite obviously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

Good- Music still prominent, with wear and scratches extensive.

Fair Most of music remains audible over continual surface noise, although the vintage 78 experience is an uncomfortable affair. Collection filler material.

Poor Unplayable, and most definitely of interest only to the most dedicated... 

Please note :-

A word about Shipping and Delivery times.

I offer Free Shipping on nearly all of my Buy-It-Now items, and on Auction items a fairly priced Shipping charge (which includes USPS service and the cost of a dedicated mailer suited to the particular item).

Items are shipped within 3 day of the order being placed. Sometimes they are shipped the same day, sometimes on the third day. This is mainly because the nearest properly functioning Post Office to where I live is 7 miles away, plus I have a full-time job with regrettably stupid hours. I cannot and will not go there each and every day.

It's 'shipping within 3 days', end of.

CD's are shipped First Class, it's cheap and cheerful for them, no worries.

Records – all formats, 45's, vinyl LP's and 78's – plus books are all shipped by Media Mail. An eBay guide (note, that's an official eBay guide, thank you...) shows the following information regarding Media Mail...

'In a hurry? Don't choose Media Mail as your shipping method. The USPS considers Media Mail to be Bulk Mail. All bulk mail is sent to a central hub according to the post office of its origin or its destination. There are 21 Bulk Mail Centers throughout the U.S. The hub sorts the package and ships according to the USPS time table, not necessarily your time table. For example, during the holidays, your item could take over a month to be delivered.'

If you want your item delivered, I don't know, let's say, yesterday, forget it, sorry, go elsewhere.   :o(

However, if you want it delivered Priority or 1st Class, ask beforehand, it's not a problem and I can make the necessary adjustments.

The crucial information is given above...

eBay overlay a huge number of listings with big announcements of 'Fast and Free' and what appears to be promises of overnight delivery... I do not enter these details, please note.

Basically, Shipping is free, and included in the price, in most cases...it's via Media Mail, it's 'Free', but unlikely to be 'Fast'...It'll get there, and - trust me – items are rarely genuinely 'lost in transit', so don't worry, it'll get there, often pleasingly quicker than we think, but probably not as quick as eBay promise you on my behalf...

Thank you for reading this.
