"ELVIS PRESLEY ROCKS"
MEGA-RARE ORIGINAL 1958 SOUTH AFRICA-ONLY RCA 31.212, A SOUTH AFRICA ONLY COMPILATION WITH ROOTS IN TRACK LISTINGS FROM THE 1958 US "A DATE WITH ELVIS", "ELVIS GOLDEN RECORDS II, 50,000,000 ELVIS FANS CAN'T BE WRONG", & "FOR LP FANS ONLY", INCLUDING 5 OF THE ORIGINAL SUN RECORDINGS. COVER PIC IS FROM THE US ELVIS "JUST FOR YOU" EP, AND A BACK COVER FEATURING WHAT IN THE US WAS A STORE BONUS PHOTO OF ELVIS IN HIS MILTARY UNIFORM.
ALL SOUTH AFRICA LP'S FROM THE 50'S & 60'S ARE MEGA-RARE AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION!
TRACKS:
- I GOT STUNG
- DONCHA THINK IT'S TIME?
- MILK COW BLUES BOOGIE
- LAWDY MISS CLAWDY
- I'M LEFT YOU'RE RIGHT SHE'S GONE
- BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY
- ONE NIGHT

- BABY LET'S PLAY HOUSE
- YOU'RE A HEARTBREAKER

- LET ME
THE LIGHTWEIGHT FLIP-BACK COVER IS IN GOOD CONDITION, WITH SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND EDGE CRINKLES ALONG THE BOTTOM SEAM, AND SOME SORT OF STAINS ON THE BACK THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET OFF. (I DIDN'T TRY TOO HARD, IN THE INTEREST OF PRESERVING THE PRINT. PERHAPS IT IS POSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITHOUT AFFECTING THE INK.)
THE HEAVY WEIGHT LP HAS NICE LABELS & MUCH OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN, WITH QUITE A BIT OF PLAY WEAR, HAIRLINES, SUPERFICIAL SCUFFS AND LIGHT SCRATCHES ON THE PLAYING SURFACE. I LISTENED TO THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH TWICE ON A PRO TURNTABLE AT 1 GRAM, AND IT SOUNDS GREAT WITH ONLY MINOR INTERMITTENT SURFACE NOISE.
IF YOU COLLECT ELVIS, AND IF YOU KNOW HOW RARE SOUTH AFRICAN LP'S TRULY ARE, THEN YOU'LL BE QUITE HAPPY TO GET YOUR HANDS ON THIS.
OVERALL VG+ COVER WITH VISUALLY VG (AUDIBLY NICE VG+) LP.
