Description
Gatefold Elvis Presley 45 Double EP EPB-1254. Cover is in rough shape with seam splits on a couple of corners and wear on all edges. Record vinyl has fingerprints and some minor scruffs but no scratches or skips. I played all four sides thru on my 50s era RCA phonograph and they play and sound amazing well.
I have not cleaned the records. I’ve found most buyers prefer to do it themselves.
Sticker on one label and wear on all four sides.
Review photos carefully and ask any questions. No refunds or returns. I’m listing this as buy it now (something I rarely do). Check out my other Elvis auctions.
Cover Back: RCA releases listed on back. Cover Gatefold: Featuring picture of Elvis Presley with song titles to the left and several paragraphs on the right.
A double EP, once again with identical title, artwork, and release date (but with only three of the four sides from the single EP and five from the LP), managed to find its own place in the market, selling 150,000 copies in its original run. It should perhaps be noted that, as much as Elvis was in charge of the music, his manager, Colonel Parker, a veteran of the carnival world, was in charge of the marketing, as brilliant, original, and altogether eccentric in its own way (it would be hard to find the predictable logic behind the EP/LP campaign) as the music that it sought to merchandise.
