Description

GORGEOUS NEAR MINT COPY OF THE VERY SCARCE BANDED RADIO STATION PROMO OF "RECORDED LIVE ON STAGE IN MEMPHIS"

Elvis Presley - "As Recorded Live on Stage in Memphis", stereo, on RCA DJL1-0606. If you cross-reference the times below to those listed on the commercial release, you'll note that they are all different, a bit shorter except for the closing. That's most likely because the times refer to the songs only although the audience can be heard in the background as well as Elvis' talk (kept to a minimum) between the songs. The banding allows the listener to drop the needle between songs (no pauses, you'll get the applause if you drop it in the right place). Also, the sound quality on this album is excellent. I don't have the stock copy to compare it to (that may be excellent also) but this is the best sound I've ever heard on a live album, bar none: rich, deep, clear and crisp.

About the Album: This oft-ignored album, recorded in March 1974 at Memphis's Midsouth Coliseum (formerly the center of controversy when the proposed title, the Elvis Presley Coliseum, was poo-pooed), is easily the strongest live package of the '70s, the one worth having. Elvis is in exceptional vocal form and, between all the stuff that showed up on every other live album of the period, there is a great "Trying to Get to You" and strong versions of "My Baby Left Me" and "Lawdy, Miss Clawdy," material he otherwise left unnoticed. — Neal Umphred

    My Grading Systems: I’ve been told that I grade conservatively. My NM (near mint) is my highest grade for opened records (which would also include unplayed records). It’s a 9 or 10 on a 1-10 scale. M- would be equivalent to an 8; VG++ to a 7; VG+ to a 6; VG to a 5; VG- to a 4; G to a 3; F to a 2 and P to a 1. The same scale applies when I grade covers (jackets). Significant defects are specifically noted and taken into consideration in the grade.

    Shipping Costs:

    As before, the buyer pays for shipping. For one or two albums, the cost for priority mail in the United States is $6.50. for media rate postage within the U.S. the cost will be $3.00.

    The cost for shipping a 7” record via 1st class is $2.50 and the cost for shipping a compact disc via 1st class is $3.20. Save money when I mail 2 or more records or items in the same package.

    Insurance is optional but highly recommended for “high ticket” purchases. The cost for insurance in the U.S. is $1.30 for up to $50; $2.20 for up to $100; $3.20 for up to $200 and $1.00 additional for each additional $100 of insurance. Rates are quoted in my winning bid notices. The shipping charges for box sets, multi-record sets and other items of non-standard size and weight will be quoted.

    If you live in a foreign country, please provide me with your address after the auction closes and I will give you postage rates.

    I’ve been listing all types of records - mostly LP’s - including 50’s and 60’s rock ‘n’ roll, country, folk jazz, blues, personalities, new wave and punk, surf, psych, spoken word, comedy, etc., etc....... I try to list unusual, unique or obscure records, not the ones that you see all the time. While a majority of my listings are albums, you’ll often find a nice selection of 45’s, EP’s or picture sleeves...and an occasional 78 or two.

    My return policy:

    The fine print. I don’t get many returns but customers are important to me so I like to offer a relatively hassle-free return policy. However, in order to return the record or other item, you must notify me by e-mail of your intent shortly after your receipt of the record or other item and within a reasonable time after the auction’s close. Also, the item must be returned in its original condition , i.e. the way it was shipped when it left my hands. While a very high percentage of my records arrive safe and sound (I use professional mailers and a filler or two, more for 78’s), they occasionally are damaged in transit. If that happens, I won’t accept the return of the record or other item - that’s why you have the option of obtaining insurance.

    Any other questions? About anything? Please e-mail me at meastman@nc.rr.com
