Description

Elvis Presley, No 2, ORIGINAL 1957 UK HMV LP, CLP 1105

Elvis Presley, Rock 'n' Roll, No 2.

1957 UK pressed HMV Records mono LP, CLP 1105.

Earliest issue with maroon and gold labels and 1N/2N matrix suffixes.

A nice and clean copy of this one. Vinyl surfaces are free of any immediately visible marks or scuffs. Closer inspection reveals small and superficial hairlines, but for the most part these are sleeve removal type hairlines. There are certainly no deep scratches or gouges. Surfaces are clean and with a good gloss still.

Labels are clean and undefaced both sides.

Sleeve has also survived in good condition. Seams and backflaps have survived intact. None of the three closed spine areas have any splits or chipping. Minor crease on bottom corner of sleeve. Spine has survived in good condition with very small feathering/minor tears, but with centre text unmarred and would grace any shelf. Laminate is intact with just a little tidy loss at entry side. Entry side is slightly feathered, with one small tear. Feathering has not become unsightly and excessive.

In summary a really super issue, and about as clean as you could hope to find. A combination of age, fragility of sleeve and subsequent popularity of Elvis means that most extant copies of this LP surface in a very sorry state, with sleeves just about hanging together and vinyl surfaces a network of nasty scuffs and scratches.

This is not a mint issue, but is still a very strong issue with no major faults. Copies of this LP in this kind of condition rarely surface on the open market.
