Here's a very nice original pressing of "Teddy Bear," one of Presley's biggest hits from 1957. This pressing uses parentheses in the title. Note: The A label is Near Mint (see scan), but the B label ("Loving You") has very light ringwear and some tiny writing. The vinyl likewise grades EX, the notable light, scattered scuffs and tiny scratches, especially on the B side. The A side audio is a strong EX, strong audio but with light surface noise. The B side ("Loving You") audio has more noticeable surface noise and would separately grade a strong VG. The overall audio grade (EX) is an average.
