ELVIS PRESLEY "KING CREOLE" FIRST PRESSING You’re looking at a really nice Mono copy of this 56 YEAR OLD ALBUM that has a NEAR MINT VALUE of $300.00! (That’s $200 for the cover & $100 for the record according to Jerry Osborne’s great Elvis Presley price guide "PRESLEYANA VI".) BONUS PHOTO IS NOT INCLUDED. Here are the conditions: 

COVER: (VG++)  This is a tough one. I so wanted to give this beautiful cover a NEAR MINT grading, but there are a few light flecks on Elvis' face on the front cover. It looks like a printing imperfection, but it's still an imperfection. Those flecks, along with the small crease at the top center, keep this cover at a VG++. (If those same flecks were someplace else on the front cover other than on Elvis, I might have been more inclined to give it a higher grade.) The back cover looks great with all its text and images still sharp and clear. It is showing just the start of some ring wear and some light yellowing along the spine.   Both seams and the spine are completely undamaged with all their text still sharp and clearly legible. (That includes the Title and Catalog Number on the upper left seam.) All four corners have little or no dings. (SEE IMAGES.)   

VINYL RECORD: (VG)

Record: Play tested. No skips. Has some minor surface rubs and light scratches which do not affect its play. It sounds great. Both sides still have some of their original luster. 

Labels: Both labels have some light spindle marks, but still look great. (SEE IMAGES.) 

Sleeve: Comes with the original GENERIC RCA VICTOR NEW ORTHOPHONIC SLEEVE WITH NO MENTION OF ELVIS in very good condition with one small seam split at the bottom center. (The record will be shipped inside a new generic sleeve in order to protect the original sleeve.)   

Bonus Photo:  *** NOT INCLUDED ***  

NOTE: Record grading is very subjective, so be sure to inspect all the images carefully and decide for yourself.  o be aware that some imperfections that are visible in the images may not be listed in the descriptions. If you have any questions, please contact me before you bid.
