Description

Offering is original owner’s 1957 RCA Victor Elvis Presley Single, 45 rpm record, “Too Much / Playing For Keeps”, No. 47-4800, with picture sleeve, 1st Pressing, Release Date: January 4, 1957. This particular copy is known as the “NO DOG” variation, since the RCA labels on the record lack the iconic image of dog “Nipper” (commonly shown on most Presley 45’s and 33 LP’s in the mid-to-late 1950’s) below the “RCA VICTOR” at the top of a label. This variation is harder to find and is a more sought-after, collectible Elvis’ 45 record. Specific descriptions are as follows:

 

·        TRACKLIST

Side A: Playing For Keeps (2:50)

             Elvis Presley with The Jordanaires

Side B: Too Much (2:30)

              Elvis Presley with The Jordanaires
