Description
This is an auction for an Original MISPRINTED copy of the EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND 1959 EP release ELVIS PRESLEY - A TOUCH OF GOLD released in the USA.
The record itself (EPA-5088 BLACK LABEL dog on top) is in VERY GOOD+ condition and retains some of it's natural sheen.
The centre labels are quite bright and have NO WRITING(see photos)
The THICK CARDBOARD picture sleeve is much sought after and was listed in a U.S guide book back in 2008 as $130-150 in the condition it is in now(which i would say is VERY GOOD+)for the sleeve alone!!!
This sleeve is over 54 years old and is in reasonable condition for the age.
There are NO SPLITS or WRITING(see photos)
This 1st edition printed sleeve is much RARER as this has the A Touch Of Gold printed on the LEFT side of the sleeve.
This was because the word OF was missing from the original test pressings and they then wedged the word OF on the far left of the sleeve between the word Touch and Gold. This was later corrected and centered for further pressings.
The only things that stop this from grading even higher is some damage to the P of Presley on the front and some sellotape along the top,bottom and side (why?)(see photos)
THIS ONE RARELY COMES UP FOR SALE AND IS THE ONLY ORIGINAL COPY OF THE MISPRINTED SLEEVE I HAVE EVER SOLD IN 9 YEARS OF SELLING ON EBAY!!!!!!
This is a really affordable addition to fill any collection!.
The record is also stored in a separate paper sleeve to prevent anymore wear to this RARE sleeve!!
Overall 2 years ago this was valued at $200+(£135 approx) .I dont have a current price guide but i would say at least £150+.
THIS REALLY IS A HARD TO FIND TO SLEEVE!!!
With a LOW START and NO RESERVE you might be able to grab yourself a bargain!!!
Please look at my other auctions for some more great Elvis USA picture sleeve lots.
I offer shipping discounts on multiple purchases.
APOLOGIES FOR POSTAGE PRICE INCREASES BUT THIS IS DUE TO ROYAL MAIL RAISING COSTS AS OF 2ND APRIL 2013!!!
