This album was released as a two record set, I am offering ONLY Record One
Released in a gatefold format, but this Broadcasting Industry copy has had the centre seam intentionally cut (neatly) so there were two separate records (for station library purposes)
Classic recordings from Elvis plus some interview dialogue, in particular around the time Elvis was "called to service" by his country in World War II

Cover is in good condition, meaning no writing, very light edge wear from normal handling but, as mentioned above, the original gatefold seam has been neatly cut so this became two separate records for the station library. The cut has been sealed with clear tape. The inner printed sleeve with all track information (when and where recorded etc) and the reverse side with a monochrome "War Time" photograph is included.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually examined under a bright white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of very light scratches on either side. Just looking at your vinyl isn't usually good enough so I then played the ENTIRE release, both sides and all tracks, there are no issues with surface noise or click/pops. Great classic Elvis songs and such a charismatic speaker too!
