Description

ELVIS PRESLEY Aloha From Hawaii BLUE VINYL / 2nd disc
Experimental RCA Pressing - Quadra Disc  /  VPSX-6089-2 (CPRT 4750 / CPRT 4751)
We recently purchased this record directly from the RCA retiree who made this experimental pressing at the RCA plant in Indianapolis Indiana.
"Aloha From Hawaii" was commercially released in 1973 as a double album. 
This record that we are selling is an experimental pressing and was never intended for commercial release. 
Part of this blue vinyl experimental pressing was to sample each of two weights of vinyl. Rigid (will not bend) and Dynaflex (flexible). 
An extremely small number of the first disc (4748/4749) was discovered, pressed in both rigid & Dynaflex vinyl. Word was ….. that only one known copy of the second disc (4750/4751) was pressed in Dynaflex. We were told (by the person that pressed them) that there were a "handful" of this 2nd disc pressed. 
The record was not issued with a cover.  It is in a generic RCA Red Seal poly-lined inner sleeve. 
Instead of the usual Side 1 and Side 2 / these orange Quadradisc labels are Side A and Side B, and "Victor" is not found on these labels. 
Needless to say, this is an extremely rare find in the Elvis Presley and the record collecting world. This record is currently gracing the cover of Presleyana VII book. 
Questions?  Please ask.
We will be glad to combine shipping.
