Description
ELVIS PRESLEY
Lawdy Miss Clawdy/Shake, Rattle And Roll (RCA) Version TWO
This is a 1970's picture sleeve made for collectors to go with original singles that had no original sleeve.
Condition is M-! This sleeve has clearly never had a record in it and looks practically brand new! From what my research has shown me, this is one of the original first runs of the picture sleeves, on heavier paper stock with clear images and sharp letters and print quality.
Write-up from "Elvis-A Touch Of Gold"
"Many collectors are unaware that of the twenty-one Elvis Presley 45 rpm singles issued in the United States by Sun and RCA Victor, nineteen were not issued with a picture sleeve! Despite Presley’s importance to RCA, the company did not see fit to invest a few thousand dollars into special sleeves for a Presley single until his eighth release, Hound Dog / Don’t Be Cruel, in July 1956.
In the early 1970s, several rather creative collectors manufactured bootleg picture sleeves for those nineteen sleeveless singles. Many of these were the equal of, or superior to, the official RCA sleeves of the time in design, although not in finished product: the bootlegs sleeves were had black and white images printed on unfinished paper stock. These were sold on the collectors markets as bootlegs and have been a cherished part of many a fan’s collection."
