Description
HERE IS A RARE ITEM! A FIRST, 1957 UK PRESSING OF ' THE BEST OF ELVIS ' ISSUED AS A 10" LP ON HMV DLP 1159.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TOP COPY THEN STOP READING NOW !
THE COVER HAS A QUITE A LOT OF WEAR, WITH AN INTERNAL TAPE REPAIR TO A TEAR AT THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS A 3 cm SPLIT AT THE BOTTOM SEAM , ALSO BY THE OPENING WHICH HAS A BIT OF LAMINATE FLAKING. ON THE BACK THERE IS A SMALL TEAR BY THE SPINE THAT HAS ALSO BEEN REPAIRED ON THE INSIDE. COVER GRADED AS FAIR.
THE DISC HAS AN UGLY SCRATCH THAT BEGINS AT THE END OF ' HOUND DOG ' AND GOES INTO ' TOO MUCH '. IT CAUSES AUDIBLE CLICKS UNTIL ABOUT A MINUTE INTO THE SECOND TRACK WHERE THE STYLUS STICKS. A TINY NUDGE GETS IT BACK ON TRACK. A REAL SHAME , WITHOUT THIS THE DISC WOULD BE VG+ AS IT HAS A GOOD SHINE AND OTHERWISE PLAYS THROUGH REALLY WELL. VINYL GRADED AS POOR.
I AM LISTING THIS AS A COLLECTION FILLER. I DON'T USUALLY LIST DISCS IN THIS CONDITION BUT IT IS ELVIS ! NO RETURNS ON THIS ONE PLEASE, IT IS WHAT IT IS ! I HAVE MORE EARLY ELVIS TO LIST IN BETTER CONDITION SO KEEP WATCHING..
ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK !
