Love Me Tender/ Any Way You Want Me (That's How I Will Be)

If you've never listened to one of these original 45 rpm pressings, you simply can't appreciate how extraordinary the sound is — the clarity and purity of the sound is astonishing. Be sure to include a listen to the wonderful B side, where Presley's vocals really rise to the heights of greatness. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels, reflecting a tiny scar and a "243" inked on the A label, which you can't detect in the scan and is hard to see in normal light (it's in the blank upper-right area above the song title). The vinyl grades a strong EX, reflecting some scuffing and tiny scratches. The audio grades a strong EX as well, though that reflects persistent light "pops" during the first third of the A side, after which the pops magically disappear and you find yourself with Near Mint audio; the B side audio is Near Mint all the way through.
