Elvis Presley - Blue Hawaii - Vinyl record - 1st Mono pressing - 1961

NO RESERVE & FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE 1. General information Artist: Elvis Presley Album: Blue Hawaii (Original Soundtrack) Label: RCA Victor Catalog Number: LPM-2426 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono Country: US Year: 1961 Edition: Original US Mono Pressing (First Issue Run) 2. Description This is a fantastic example of the Original 1961 US Mono Pressing of Elvis Presley's iconic soundtrack Blue Hawaii. This album features massive hits like "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Blue Hawaii." This specific copy is the highly collectible "Long Play" version. The labels feature the classic "Nipper" dog logo at the top and the text "LONG 33 PLAY" along the bottom edge. This specific text was only used on the earliest runs (later pressings changed this to "MONAURAL" or removed it), confirming its status as an authentic early edition. 3. Condition Cover: Excellent (EX). The cover is incredibly well-preserved, largely because it is still in its original factory shrink wrap (opened). The colors are bright and vivid with no fading. The corners are sharp. There is very minor shelf wear at the opening edge where the shrink has pulled back slightly, but overall it looks stunning for its age. Vinyl: Excellent (EX). The record retains a high gloss. Under bright light, there are some visible surface scuffs and light hairlines typical of a record from this era, but nothing deep or feelable. The labels are clean, black, and glossy with silver print, showing no writing or stickers. 4. Notes for collectors Pressing Plant: This copy was pressed at the RCA Records Pressing Plant, Rockaway, identified by the distinct "R" stamped in the runout grooves. Authenticity: The "LONG 33 PLAY" text on the bottom of the label is the key identifier for collectors distinguishing 1961 originals from later 1960s reissues. Shrink Wrap: Finding 1960s Elvis covers still in the original shrink wrap is becoming increasingly rare, making this a premium display copy. 5.
