The record is gorgeous. The vinyl is stone mint and looks as if it's never been on a turntable. The original RCA black labels with silver RCA Lightning Bolt logo are also mint with the exception of a few light spindle marks.

It is, of course, the classic and stunning cover that makes this album number one on every Elvis record collector's want list. The gorgeous front cover is in breathtaking mint condition. The back cover is near mint with slight aging in the white background but all graphics are mint. The seams and spine are beautiful. There is a small corner ding on bottom right. Spine has a few areas of light flaking but title and RCA prefix, etc. are readable.
