The Audio Recorders of Arizona, Inc. acetate of "Elvis Presley Speaks – In Person" is an extremely rare piece of music memorabilia, and it is highly unlikely that many were made.
Acetates (also known as "lacquers" or "dub plates") are not mass-produced like standard vinyl records; they were typically cut one-by-one in a studio for immediate playback or as a master for radio use.
Key Details of Your Acetate:
Studio: Audio Recorders of Arizona was a legendary Phoenix studio owned by Floyd Ramsey, located at 2830 North 7th Street (incorrectly transcribed as "TIA" on some labels). It was where early rock pioneers like Duane Eddy recorded.
Content: This specific disc likely contains a recorded interview or promotional spot from one of Elvis's early tours through Arizona in the mid-1950s (such as his June 1956 appearance in Phoenix).
Production Quantity: Because it was produced by a local studio by "special permission of RCA Victor," it was almost certainly a one-of-a-kind or part of a handful of copies (fewer than 5–10) made specifically for a local radio station or a single promotion very rare acetate sought after
