King Creole - 1969 UK 'Small' Orange RCA Victor label re-pressing 12-track mono LP

Scarce 1969 UK RCA Victor label 12-track mono LP issue of Presleys 6th album originally released in 1958 as the soundtrack for the 1958 Michael Curtiz directed American musical drama film starring The King as well as Carolyn Jones, and Walter Matthau.

Vinyl has the generic orange company labels with large fonted vertical white outline lettering RCAtext to the left of centre hole and horizontal medium sized and solid Victor text to the right.

Vinyl is held in a front 'Clarifoil' laminated Robert Stace picture cover.

Condition: VG+(+) (Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Cover):
Vinyl is overall superbright. Both Side 1 and Side 2 has only faint signs of play or handling - a light degree of sleeve wear / a touch too much for a near mint grading.
Labels has a little very light spindle tracing on both sides...looks like in the area of a couple of handfuls - superficial and placed within the centre ring.

Vinyl is overall graded close to near mint/excellent.

Cover has a couple of wrinkles from edges and a couple of very minor ones along opening. Back is remarkable clean... a couple of tiny age spots only - seams are straight and clean, corners perfect except for upper spine corner, which has a mnor, but regular dent.
Cover is at least close ti near mint/excellent - a very nice copy of this classic Elvis mono album.
