Description
It is believed by some collectors that this album was originally released for Christmas 1959, while others believe November 1958. Here is some research that may assist in the actual determination of the date of release or a near approximation thereof. The cover back features Elvis with a medal for marksman and one stripe. Elvis earned his marksman medal 6/23/1958 and was promoted to Private First Class to receive his stripe 11/27/1958. Elvis was promoted again 6/1/1959 to Specialist Fourth Class. With this in mind, a likely release date may be 11/1959.
UPDATE: The original argument that LPM-1951 was released 11/1958 had been proven to some degree to have been incorrect. The November 1959 release date was certainly more consistent with the advertisements of the era. However, definitive proof has surfaced that the actual shipping date was September 25, 1959 to be released in October 1959.The album cover/case has wear on the edging. The sleeve has minor wear and the album also. There are a few light marks/scratches (see pics).
Great record for the Christmas season.
