Elvis Presley

Elvis is Back!

180g Virgin Vinyl, all vacuum tube cutting system, mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray in 1997

Catalog / Label Number: DCC LPZ-2037

Limited Edition Number: 4169

Near Mint

Description:

Artist: Elvis Presley

Title: Elvis is Back!

Label: DCC

Catalog Number: LPZ-2037

Country: USA

Issue: 1997 DCC audiophile 180g reissue, still the gold standard for pressing quality and sound quality 17 years later.  LONG out of print.

Vinyl Grade: Near Mint.  Superb condition, there are no spindle marks on Side 1 label, and one spindle mark on Side 2 label, which I suspect is the mark left by the RTI manufacturing process when the LP is ejected from the pressing machine and the label slides across the spindle to the center hole before sliding down onto the stack of records pressed before it.  Please see close-up photos, and a Google search for "ControlRecordGuide visits RTI Record Pressing Plant" to see a youtube video that shows what I mean about the RTI pressing facility typically leaving one "spindle mark" on one label of the records they press (see the video at the 1:00 mark specifically).

Cover Grade:  Near Mint.  The first two photos above are of the original DCC (included in this listing) with the gold foil Limited Edition No. 4169 on the back in the upper right-hand corner.  It has a seam-split (VG+ condition), which is why I obtained the "new old stock" DCC replacement cover shown in photos 7 (front), 8 (inside gatefold) and 9 (back), also included in this listing, so you will receive BOTH album covers.  The authentic, genuine DCC replacement cover is in Near Mint condition, never used.  Also comes with the original poly rice-paper inner sleeve and the original outer plastic protective cover with the gold foil "DCC 180+ Pure Virgin Vinyl Analogue Pressing" sticker on the front (first photo).

Notes: Mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray for the DCC audiophile label back in 1997, this is one of the great ones.  If you have a turntable, this is definitely the way to hear Elvis is Back!  Timeless music at its best.

Packaging (non-gatefold): The album will be placed in a clear outer protective sleeve, sealed, then sandwiched between two large cardboard stiffener pads and carefully taped together.  I have used this method for many years to practically eliminate seam splits while still protecting the LP inside the cover.  I will gladly package the LPs outside the cover upon request.  The album, after being “sandwiched” between the two pieces of cardboard, is then packaged with bubble-wrap and Styrofoam peanuts in an oversize box.  The box is large enough that it should easily withstand even being dropped directly on its corner without damaging the cover inside.  I know very well what it is like to receive poorly packaged records, so I am careful to make sure your album is safely packaged and arrives safely.

Packaging (gatefold): Albums with gatefold covers will have the LP secured outside the cover, between the front and back covers of the gatefold, in order to eliminate the possibility of seam splits and still protect the LP.  The cover will then be placed inside a clear poly outer protective album cover and sealed.  The album is then carefully centered and “sandwiched” between two oversized cardboard reinforcement pads, which are then carefully taped together, to prevent the album (and LP) from sliding up and down or side to side during transit.  This keeps the LP stationary and the album cover centered, allowing the oversized cardboard reinforcement pads to protect the edges and corners from dings.  It is hard to describe, but you will understand when you see it.

Tracking: You should automatically receive your Tracking Number by email when the Shipping Label is printed.

eBay History of Record LP sales: 14 years on eBay.  Please do check my Seller feedback comments with regard to accurate LP grading, safe packaging and quick shipping.

Payment:  per eBay’s new policy, please make payment via PayPal within 2 days.

Shipping and Handling Time: Packages normally ship the day after payment (excluding weekends and holidays) with email notification and Tracking number.

No Return Policy:  This collectible LP is long out of print, not replaceable, in top condition and fragile by nature.  I have packaged many hundreds of valuable record LPs over the years, but most people have not, and it's not an easy thing to do properly.  When I have accepted returns in the past, both times (yes, I've had two albums returned in the last 14 years) they arrived with damage to the cover.  I realize it's not intentional, but it happens.  One trip through the postal system is enough, so this album is offered with eBay's 'No Return' policy in effect for this listing.  As always, if there is a problem with the album itself (e.g., item is somehow not as described), just let me know, I am a reasonable person and eBay's money back guarantee is still in effect.  Of course if the album is damaged during transit please let me know immediately and SAVE the packaging because it is needed for the Insurance claim.  We will get the Insurance claim filed right away and process your refund as quickly as possible.  Please check my feedback, you will see that I only offer top quality record albums and my customers are happy!

International Buyers – Customs Fees: Please be aware that your country may charge you Import Duties, Taxes or other Fees at the time of Delivery which are NOT included in the Item price or shipping.  Any such Import charges are the Buyer’s responsibility.  Please check with your country’s Customs Office to determine any additional Fees before bidding.

Weight Limit of 4 Lbs. for International First Class Mail:  Please note that First Class International Mail has a 4 Lb. weight limit.  If you make multiple purchases and the combined weight is over the 4 Lb. weight limit we will have to use two separate First Class International packages or use Priority Mail International.  If your combined total is over 4 Lbs. then I will contact you about the shipping (one package vs. two), but the shipping cost should be basically the same.
