Genuine Circa 1956 -57 ELVIS PRESLEY RCA EPB -1254

From my own personal collection - Period original inscription in red ink " To ------- Love Ya, Elvis Presley. ( Note how Elvis looks like Elms )

I have never been able to make out the name to whom Elvis inscribed this to due to the fact was positioned directly over the inner seam.

The remainder is clear with just a very slight smudge from the King over his first name, see images.

Visual grading on the two vinyls is EX plus. Wispy removal marks under a bright light, with clean and bright labels.

Disc 1 Matrix G2WH- 1850 -5S
Disc 2 Matrix G2WH- 1851 -5S
Disc 3 Matrix G2WH- 1850 -6S
Disc 4 Matrix G2WH- 1851 -6S

Cover I grade as VG++ . No seams splits, rare Ad back with bright vibrant colours no fade. Spine in tact with text some minor wear. Very slight corner wear as shown.
No rips or tears, no actual labels or writing. Some very small pin holes top left corner may have been from a display staple.

Some mild soiling marks internally and to front and rear. See images.

There is the NY based record shop stamp slightly faded on the rear a shown Colony Records . I have included a period image for your interest.

Will be well packed in a proper record mailer cardboard to each side.

45s come in a generic poly lined inner sleeve packed outside of main cover to avoid seam splits and rubbing.

EP cover packed in a polythene clear protective cover

In my years collecting this is the only early signed EP by Elvis I have come across, having see only one LPM 1254 signed Album.

That said I have enjoyed having this rarity so for the right price it may be time to let another enjoy.
