ELVIS ROUSTABOUT 1960s CANADA LP SEALED

AUCTION DESCRIPTION

Up for auction is a long play record of ELVIS PRESLEY titled:

“ROUSTABOUT”

RCA-LSP-2999

ITEM CONDITION

Vinyl: Assumed to be Mint (sealed)

Cover: Near Mint – Mint

Note: This record comes out of a collection of Elvis records that I purchased 15 years ago. The collector to whom these records belonged to had bought two copies of every Elvis record upon release from the early 1960s onwards. One copy was opened and the other was left sealed. I only saved the sealed copies and have decided to part with a few of them.  

GRADING

I have been collecting vinyl for 25 years and I have always used the “Goldmine Grading System” to grade my records.

In particular, I would like to note that I don’t believe that grading standards should be relaxed for older records. Rather, near mint records from the 1950s should be held to the same standards as newly pressed records that are also graded near mint. It annoys me when I read some sellers describing a record as “mint for its age”. As far as I am concerned, what we classify as “mint” does not change based on the age of the record.

In addition, I assume that the contents of sealed records are mint since they are factory fresh, never having been tampered with. However, in reality, records may not be mint on the first pull.

Finally, even though a long play or box set is sealed, I feel that the exterior of the package still needs to be graded very carefully. Thus, I look for any defects on the exterior of still sealed items such as seam splits, creases that are visible through the shrinkwrap, and damaged corners. Any defects to the exterior packaging of still sealed records will be noted in my ads.

PACKAGING

All records are packaged to the best of my ability to prevent them from being damaged in transit. I am very particular with regards to dinged corners on record covers and so I am very careful with how I ship my vinyl.
