EVERY TIME I LIST A COPY OF RCA 1187, I GET LOADS OF MESSAGES SUCH AS "WHAT'S THE BEST PRICE YOU WILL TAKE?" "WOULD YOU TAKE "X" FIGURE FOR IT?" AND SO ON. YOU GET THE IDEA? SO PLEASE NO OFFERS.
THIS IS THE 2ND LAST STANDARD UK ELVIS 78 RPM RELEASE, 2ND ONLY TO RCA 1194 "MESS OF BLUES" IN THE RARITY STAKES. IF YOU DISMISS THE FABLED RELEASE OF RCA 1207 "IT'S NOW OR NEVER" ON 78 RPM OR POP.182 "HEARTBREAK HOTEL" ON THE DEEP MAUVE UK HMV LABEL
IT'S BEEN LONG THOUGHT THAT THE 78 RPM RELEASES OF RCA 1187 AND RCA 1194 WERE BY SPECIAL MAIL ORDER. I PERSONALLY DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY TRUTH IN THAT AT ALL. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A COPY OFFERED IN IT'S ORIGINAL MAILER? I BET YOU HAVE NOT. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT ALMOST EVERY COPY OF "THE TRUTH ABOUT ME" IS STILL HOUSED IN IT'S ORIGINAL MAILER FROM THE 50's WHEN THEY COME UP FOR SALE. I THINK RCA 1187 WAS AVAILABLE TO ORDER FROM RECORD SHOPS AND THIS WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN THE CASE WITH 1194.
I WAS HOLDING THIS COPY TO BE SOLD AS A PART OF A FULL SET OF UK ELVIS 78s FROM "HEARTBREAK HOTEL" POP 182 RIGHT THROUGH AND INCLUDING RCA 1194 "THE GIRL OF MY BEST FRIEND". I'VE RECONSIDERED THE IDEA AND DECIDED TO SELL IT AS A SINGLE ITEM. HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO GET A SUPERB COPY OF THE 2ND RAREST ELVIS 78 IN AN ELEVATED GRADE. I SOLD A COPY OF THIS LAST MONTH, AND THIS IS ME NOW DOWN TO MY LAST SPARE COPY.
