Description

For sale is a beautiful first pressing copy of Elvis No 2 from 1957 on HMV with maroon labels. 
The record is graded VG+, there are no skips and the record plays loud and clear. There is some slight crackle at the beginning of the tracks (during the silent intervals) but this disappears with the music and cannot be heard. A clean of the record will most likely remove this, side B actually plays VG++.
There are a few light skuffs on the record but they do not affect the sound, the rest of the LP has a nice gloss to it. The labels are in excellent condition and and have no major spindle marks, compared against the other No 2 auctions this looks better. 

The sleeve from the front is VG+, there is a very minor 0.5" tear on the top right corner (about 3 inches down from the top) but is not very noticeable. Apart from that no laminate is missing from the front and there is no damage to the spine of the sleeve. On the back cover a 1 x 2" area is missing on the left hand side and from there is an 8" tear across the back, there is some laminate missing from the top left and this can been seen in the image, this is the only fault of the cover. 

To judge by yourself I have included scans of the front and back cover of the LP and further hi-res images can be found below, they are 12MB each (7000px x 7000px)

If you have any questions please feel free to mail me. The record will be sent in a stiff mailer and will be packed very carefully to ensure it arrives in one piece. Please bear in mind that due to the value of the record it will have to be sent recorded / tracked for both our peace of mind. I will ship worldwide but please check quotes on Royal Mail / other courier sites before bidding as international tracked postage can get expensive. 
I accept PayPal or can do a bank transfer (to avoid the ridiculous PayPal fees I will offer a discount on the bank transfer)
