22

Original 1950s Elvis Presley EP with cover entitled, "King Creole, Volume 1." This is on the RCA Victor label EPA-4319 (first pressing; black labels with the 'Nipper' dog at the top). Grading is as follows:
The cover is a sharp, bright and attractive VG+ and it really looks great overall!! There is a slight (one-inch) 'pressure split' at the middle of the bottom seam edge only and one very light faint 'pressure wrinkle' in the lower-left corner of the front side only as well. No large split, no tears, no creases, no writing, no stains, no holes, etc. 
The vinyl is in beautifully clean VG+ condition also with full gloss and it plays quite nicely!! I played both sides of this record with a regular Stanton stylus (tracked at 1.5 grams). Both labels look great also, with no writing or stickers on either.

My vinyl and cover/sleeve gradings are as follows:

MINT: I do not use this grade except for sealed/unopened items.

NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS: Vinyl looks basically brand new, untouched, unplayed or nearly unplayed. Cover looks pretty much as new with no real flaws to speak of. This is basically how the item would have looked when it was new from the factory.

VG++: Very close to M-, with vinyl showing only the very slightest, most subtle signs of any past handling or play. Cover may show just the barest hint of wear from age, but nothing at all serious or detracting. 

VG+: Vinyl shows some subtle signs that it was played in the past, but was generally well taken care of. Cover shows only some minor signs of age or wear, but nothing too detracting.

VG: Vinyl is beginning to show more obvious signs of past handling and play but still has strong sound quality overall. Cover is beginning to show more signs of age and wear, but is fully intact and still displays very well overall.

GOOD: Vinyl has very obvious signs of wear from over the years, but still plays strongly and enjoyably enough. Cover has obvious wear and tear from age, but is intact and still displayable.

***My very good and good records are very good and good, not bad and even worse! I also do not use the EX (excellent) grading at all.***

FAIR: Record wasn’t properly cared for in the past and very clearly shows it, but it is still playable and should be enjoyable enough for some. I rarely offer records in this condition.
