A BREAKDOWN OF THE ARTIST/S :-

THE HISTORY OF THE RECORD :- The single topped the U.S. Pop chart on April 13, 1957, staying there for eight weeks. It also topped the R&B chart for four weeks, becoming Presley's second single to do so, and peaked at #3 on the country chart. It is certified 2X Platinum by the RIAA.

It was ranked #352 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

On January 12, 1957, Presley recorded the song at Radio Recorders in Hollywood. Take 10 was selected for release, and in March the song entered Billboard's Top 100 chart at #25.Within three weeks it had knocked Perry Como's "Round and Round" off the top spot, and stayed there for eight consecutive weeks. The song also became Presley's first UK #1 single, remaining there for seven weeks. Sales of the single exceeded 2 million, and the song was named Billboard's Year End number one song for 1957.

THE RARITY OF THE RECORD :- Much much rarer than the HMV release the previous year and absolutely impossible to find in this kind of condition. A final upgrade for any Elvis collector.

THE SLEEVE :- Company sleeve

THE LABEL :- RCA Silver Dot labels

THE VINYL VISUALLY :- On initial inspection of this piece of vinyl I cannot see any areas of immediate concern. The vinyl sits perfectly flat on the turntable so there are no nasty warps to worry about. The vinyl still retains its just pressed quality, full of deep shine and lustre. I have only noted a light mark in the deadwax intro of Side One. For its age a beautifull piece of vinyl. Excellent Plus visually.

THE VINYL PLAY GRADED SIDE ONE :- The playgrading of Side One is flawless, there is no background noise apart from in the deadwax. The sound is crisp and crystal clear. Best copy you will ever find. Near Mint audibly.

THE VINYL PLAY GRADED SIDE TWO :- Again pretty flawless on this side also. There  isn't any audible background noise apart from the very merest hint of static and I do mean merest. Again also Near Mint audibly.

THE SLEEVE FRONT CONDITION :- Excellent Plus condition. Original issue sleeve not a reprint

THE SLEEVE REAR CONDITION :- Excellent condition. Someone has written Heartbreak Hotel neatly in the very top corner

THE LABEL SIDE ONE CONDITION :- Original RCA label in excellent order free from stickers or writing and no damage at all, no signs of play around the spindle hole. Near Mint condition.
