Covers: (Near Mint) Vinyls: (Mint)
Both sets of Elvis the covers that are like boxes are in Near Mint condition as they show some shelf wear the front and the back. The first set Elvis Presley:1954-1961 of the 2 vinyls are in mint condition as they show now signs of wear or scratches. And the second set Elvis, The King: 1954-1965 of the 2 vinyls are also in mint condition as they show now signs of wear or scratches. As they are still glossy and shiny they all look as if you just bought them yesterday. They have been Digitally remastered in Stereo and if you hear them they sound like they did a good job mastering the master tracks.
I have played them but if someone wishes for me to play them I will to see if they have some static which I don't think so because they are like new. This to record set is just a selected songs that Time life selected or a best of his hits from 1954-1965. Of course he had more hits but these are his early hits from his discography. Think of it as a greatest hits album or the best which I think these are some of the best songs he did in his career early some great covers and his own songs. But if you don;t have any record or a greatest hits then this is you chance of getting these at a low price.
Get you chance to bid on hard to find Elvis records that are hard to find and sought after. Even if you are a Elvis die hard fan, or a collector of records then this is a most have for you especially since it's Elvis the King of Rock And Roll.
This is my record grading standards I use, if you don't agree let me know and I will change it or give me your opinion. If you don't like my grading system then do not bid or think before bidding. All records have been tested and played. When you bid like I said bid with confidence.
RECORD GRADING GUIDELINES
FOR VINYL RECORDS:
Mint (M): Perfect. I will only use this for a brand new, sealed item.
Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record. No obvious signs of wear, though there may be very slight imperfections inherent in the vinyl pressing.
Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Record shows some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps not affecting the sound are OK. Label may have some ring wear or discoloration.
Very Good (VG): Record may have some light scratches and scuffs that may affect the sound especially in softer passages of the record, but will not overpower the music. There will be no skips in the record.
Very Good Minus (VG-): Record will have scratches and scuffs that will affect the sound. The noise will not detract from enjoying the record. Very old records with significant wear will be listed under this classification. There will be no skips in the record.
FOR LP COVERS & 45 & EP SLEEVES:
Mint (M): Perfect. Again…a brand new, sealed item.
Near Mint (NM): No creases, folds, seam splits, or cut-out holes. Only the slightest signs of handling may be visible.
Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Slight creases or signs of wear may be visible. May be marred by a cut-out hole or other indication that it was taken out-of-print.
Very Good (VG): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible. No splits or tape.
Very Good Minus (VG-): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible more so than on a VG cover. Splits or tape may be present. There may be some writing on the cover.
