ELVIS PRESLEY - “KING CREOLE” (LPM-1884), A FIRST PRESSING OF THIS ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK RECORDING, COMPLETE WITH THE RARE AND HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER BONUS PHOTO FROM 1958          RECORD: VG with some light, scattered surface scratches & scuffs on the vinyl as well as a moderate warp. This Indianapolis pressing was test-played in its entirety and the sound was great with no skips or repeats, however, there is some surface noise. This subtle "sweeping" sound is heard mainly in soft areas of the music and between tracks. The vocals and instrumentation remain strong! The labels are without any writing or stickers, but do show some foxing and light spindle marks. This Original Soundtrack Recording was released in August of 1958 and includes the hit single, "Hard Headed Woman / Don't Ask Me Why". The matrix numbers end with 4S/2S.       COVER: VG++ (EXC) with no seam splits, tape, writing or staple holes. Some light ring wear and foxing is present, however. A clean, solid and very attractive cover!             INNER SLEEVE: The original "RCA Victor" sleeve from the era. There are a couple of central edge splits. 
BONUS PHOTO:  VG++ (EXC) with sharp corners, although there is a subtle bend within the white area to the lower right corner. The gloss has subdued a bit and there is some minor foxing, but there are no pinholes or tape residue. This is an original Bonus Photo and not a reproduction!   

  I COMBINE SHIPPING! $4 for the first LP, then 25 cents for each additional LP. I have resumed International Shipping to select countries. Please do not ask me to check "Gift" instead of "Merchandise" or to declare a lower value on the Customs Form!  I ship all records in the CORRECT cardboard record mailers, specifically designed for shipping these historic and tough-to-replace treasures to your doorstep in the same condition as when they leave my hands. USPS has been known to find a way to bend these boxes on occasion, hard as that may be to believe, so items valued at $30 or more will be shipped automatically with insurance at no additional cost to the buyer. ALL of my records are U.S. pressings unless otherwise stated.  Payment is expected within 5 (Five) days from close of auction via PAY PAL ONLY – NO EXCEPTIONS, PLEASE. I normally ship within three business days from close of auction, but please allow a little extra time in the event of a holiday.  Returns are accepted if you are accepted if you are not completely satisfied with your item. I strongly believe that my grading of records is spot-on, but we’re all human and something may occasionally be missed upon inspection. I will do my best to ensure customer satisfaction. 2017 marks 39 years of experience for me in this wonderful hobby. I specialize in Elvis Presley.
