Description

You are bidding on the first pressing of Elvis Presley's Rock 'n' Roll No.2 - from 1957. 
It has the maroon 'Nipper' label and the original inner sleeve as well. Probably the rarest Elvis UK album of them all!!
My father has owned this from new, so I can vouch for its authenticity. 

It has a good bit of crackling and quite a bit of surface scratching, but the sound quality is fairly decent all in all - it's still of a very listenable quality
I am grading this as fair, defined as:

  • "The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise: it may even jump."
This is doing the record a bit of a disservice, as there are no skips or jumps and the louder tracks are not too affected. However, 'Fair' is what you are buying.


In terms of sleeve, I have to classify it as fair.
  • Fair - "The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing
I feel that doesn't quite do it justice - the cover has rips in it and an amount of wear (see photos) but is serviceable enough and the inside sleeve is not bad at all. 
However, fair is the quality being offered.


I have tried to be as honest as I can with the listing - it's a well loved album and it will be great to find it a new home. 

This will be sent in a tough cardboard record mailer, with cardboard stiffners. 

It will be sent using Royal Mail Signed For (UK) or Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed (International).
