8 Record Set Appraisal

Elvis! His Greatest Hits Reader's Digest 8-Record Collection (Box Set)

This item is a vintage vinyl record box set titled "Elvis! His Greatest Hits," presented by Reader's Digest. The box features colorful illustrative artwork on its front cover, depicting two images of Elvis Presley. The foreground image shows a smiling Elvis with dark hair, wearing a light yellow shirt, holding a microphone. In the background, a smaller and darker image portrays Elvis in a white jumpsuit, singing passionately into a microphone. The title "Elvis! His Greatest Hits" is prominently displayed in a blue, stylized font below the foreground image. In the top left corner, there's a rectangular logo for "Reader's Digest" and below it, text that reads "Pleasure Programmed" and "RCA." The top right corner contains a diagonal banner in yellow with the text "COLLECTOR'S EDITION." The box itself appears to be made of sturdy cardboard, designed to house multiple vinyl records. The edges of the box are a cream or off-white color, with a thin blue border framing the front illustration. Visible condition issues include some light scuffing and discoloration consistent with age and handling, particularly along the edges and corners. The overall appearance suggests a product from the late 1970s to early 1980s, given the typical release style of Reader's Digest music compilations during that era. This is a compilation of some of Elvis Presley's most popular songs, likely spread across eight individual records, though the records themselves are not visible in the image. The illustration style is characteristic of album art from that period, aiming to capture the iconic persona of the artist.
