I already posted this record here, but this is a different pressing (possibly the 1st) and it’s with the first pressing picture sleeve, where Don’t Be Cruel is written on top. The second pressing has Hound Dog on top.
List price: Very Good+ is $15, Near Mint is $30. Picture sleeve 1st pressing is $200 and the 2nd pressing is $100 for a Near Mint. Too bad my copy has a damaged corner.
