2 x ELVIS PRESLEY 78 RPMS
TIME TO GIVE THE COLLECTORS OF ELVIS ON SHELLAC A POST CHRISTMAS TREAT.
NOT ONE 78, A PAIR THIS TIME!!
WELL HERE'S A PAIR ELVIS 78 RPMS YOU HAVE PROBABLY NEVER SEEN BEFORE, TWO OF THE RAREST ELVIS 78s TO APPEAR ON EBAY IN LONG TIME, AND I'VE LISTED A GOOD FEW RARE ONES OVER THE YEARS
I WILL START WITH THE MIS-PRESS. AN ELUSIVE YELLOW EMPIRE FROM THE PHILIPPINES, ONLY A FEW ELVIS TITLES WERE PRESSED ON THE YELLOW EMPIRE LABEL. TITLES ON THE LABELS: LOVING YOU / (LET ME BE YOUR) TEDDY BEAR. PLAYS JAILHOUSE ROCK / TREAT ME NICE. ISSUED IN 1958. ALSO INCLUDED IS ANOTHER COPY WITH THE CORRECT LABELS AND SONGS, THIS ONE WAS ISSUED IN 1957. THE MIS-PRESS WILL ALSO BE ONE OF THE LAST ELVIS 78S TO APPEAR ON A PROVINCIAL LABEL, AS RCA WERE JUST ABOUT TO PRESS ELVIS 78S ON THE RCA LABEL AT THIS TIME, THIS IS ALL EXPLAINED BELOW.
A-SIDE:LOVING YOU ON THE LABEL, PLAYS JAILHOUSE ROCK
B-SIDE:(LET ME BE YOUR) TEDDY BEAR ON THE LABEL, PLAYS TREAT ME NICE
1958 ISSUE
ON THE YELLOW WITH BLACK SCRIPT EMPIRE LABEL CAT No 1-E A / 1-E B.THE CORRECT CAT No FOR JAILHOUSE ROCK / TREAT ME NICE SHOULD BE 4-E A / 4-E B
ULTRA RARE PROVINCIAL PRESSINGS FROM THE PHILIPPINES
VISUAL CONDITION:VERY GOOD WITH A TINY NEEDLE MARK ON THE "B" SIDE, EXACTLY AS PER PHOTOS
PLAY GRADE ON REGA PLANAR 78 TURNTABLE(BROADCAST QUALITY):THE "A" SIDE PLAYS STRONG WITH NICE CLEAR VOCALS AND MUSIC, GRADES AT A SOLID STRONG VERY GOOD. THE "B" SIDE AT A SOLID VERY GOOD WITH SOME BACKGROUND NOISE, NOTHING SERIOUS, THE LIGHT WEIGHT REGA PLAYED THROUGH THE TINY NEEDLE MARK WITHOUT ISSUE

RCA DID NOT ISSUE ANY ELVIS 78s ON THE RCA LABEL UNTIL LATE 1958 IN THE PHILIPPINES AND THIS INCLUDED RE-RELEASING SOME EARLY TITLES "FIRST IN LINE" AS AN EXAMPLE. THE EARLY 1956 -TO LATE 1958 ISSUES WERE PRESSED BY PROVINCIAL LABELS, SUCH AS MILLION MARK, LANCER, ELECTRO-VOICE, EMPIRE, NATIONAL RECORDS, ORTHOPHONIC, SARIMANOH, ARISTOCRAT, TOP TUNE IN STATE, VISTA VISION, TOP HAT AND THE LIST GO'S ON.THAT'S WHY YOU FIND "JAILHOUSE ROCK" ON ORTHOPHONIC, LANCER, SARIMANOH, NATIONAL AND EMPIRE, TRY FIND A COPY ON RCA, YOU CAN'T BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER ISSUED ON RCA. THE SAME GOES FOR THE LATER ISSUES THEY ONLY EVER APPEAR ON THE RCA LABEL, IT'S NOW OR NEVER, I'M NOT THE MARRYING KIND, POISON IVY LEAGUE, WITCHCRAFT, ALWAYS RCA, NEVER THE PROVINCIAL LABELS. I HOPE THIS CLEARS UP ANY CONFUSION AROUND THE ELVIS PHILIPPINE ISSUES.THERE IS A LOT OF MIS-INFORMATION OUT THERE ON THESE EARLY PHIL ELVIS 78s, ESPECIALLY FROM SO CALLED "EXPERTS" THAT DON'T ACTUALLY OWN ANY OF THESE 78s, ILL-INFORMED AND TOTALLY WRONG COMMENTS ON 45 WORLDS FOR EXAMPLE.
