Near mint, very hard to find 1956 Elvis Presley 45 RPM German pressing made only for US armed forces in Europe “Love Me Tender” b/w “Anyway You Want Me (RCA Victor 47-6643).
The dead wax clearly is stamped “Manufactured In Germany” on both sides even though the labels themselves state “Radio Corporation Of America- Made In USA”.
In addition, the German pressings had flat black labels instead of the glossy black labels found on US pressings.
Records that were produced this way were made in Germany for sale only to US military stationed in Europe.
All of the above information can be confirmed at the excellent website www.verzameling.page.tl/ARMY-label.htm.
The record looks and plays near mint with just a few light marks and some light occasional surface noise. The labels (with 3 indentations for a spindle hole adapter) are near mint.
NO reserve. I ship worldwide and will combine winning bids to save on postage (check out my other items!).
In the US, the winning bidder pays choice of 1st Class mail ($3.50) or priority shipping ($5.35). Airmail shipping and handling to Canada is $4.75. All other locations outside the US are $8.50. Good luck!
