Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; scuffing and surface impressions (front/back); tiny surface abrasions on front; back has slight discoloration. Inner-sleeve is original (generic white). Spine is mostly easy-to-read with wear. Some shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; wear to corners. Split near left of bottom edges. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
His Hand in Mine, by Elvis Presley, was the first of three gospel music albums that Presley would issue during his lifetime. Recording sessions took place on October 30 and 31, 1960, at RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee. It peaked at No. 13 on the Top Pop Albums chart. It was certified Gold on April 9, 1969 and Platinum on March 27, 1992 by the Recording Industry Association of America. All the selections for His Hand In Mine were completed in one fourteen-hour session. The song In My Father's House was arranged and adapted by Elvis Presley which was published by Elvis Presley Music. Presley later re-recorded Swing Down Sweet Chariot (not to be confused with the popular Swing Low, Sweet Chariot) for the soundtrack of his 1969 film, The Trouble with Girls. In 1976, RCA reissued the album in its lower priced Pure Gold series, with new cover art under a new catalogue number, ANL1-1319. This reissue contains the same tracks as the original release.
