"MOODY BLUE"   1977 US BLACK VINYL RCA AQL1-2428, STILL IN THE SHRINKWRAP

WHEN FIRST ISSUED IN EARLY 1977, COMMERCIAL COPIES OF THIS ALBUM WERE ALL PRESSED ON BLUE VINYL.  AFTER AN UNKNOWN NUMBER WERE SHIPPED, RCA HAD JUST STARTED PRESSING IT IN STANDARD BLACK VINYL, WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE THE BLUE PRESSING A VERY COLLECTIBLE ITEM. HOWEVER, JUST AT THAT POINT IN TIME, ELVIS DIED! IN THEIR WISDOM AND BECAUSE OF THE ALBUM'S TITLE AND TITLE TRACK WHICH WAS QUICKLY ISSUED AS A SINGLE, RCA IMMEDIATELY CANCELLED PRODUCTION IN BLACK VINYL AND WENT RIGHT BACK TO BLUE AND SLAPPED THE NOW FAMILIAR STICKER ON THE SHRINKWRAP ANNOUNCING THE RESUMPTION OF 'THE BLUE ALBUM'. THIS THEN MADE THE BLACK VINYL PRESSING FAR, FAR HARDER TO COME BY, IN FACT - RARE, SINCE VERY FEW BLACK VINYL COPIES GOT INTO THE SHOPS BEFORE ELVIS DIED - THE ALBUM HAD BASICALLY ALREADY RUN IT'S SALES COURSE UNTIL HIS DEATH - AND PRODUCTION WAS RESUMED IN BLUE VINYL.  THEN OF COURSE, ANOTHER COUPLE OF MILLION COPIES WERE SOLD IN BLUE VINYL, WITH MANY MANY MORE PRESSED, SO MANY IN FACT THAT EVENTUALLY IT BECAME A CUT-OUT, AND THEN WENT OUT OF PRINT, ALL ON BLUE VINYL!!!  NOT SO THE BLACK VINYL, SINCE IT WAS NEVER REISSUED ON BLACK AFTER THAT!  

THERE WERE YELLOW, RED, GREEN, WHITE, ETC COPIES THAT TRICKLED OUT OF RCA UNOFFICIALLY, BUT THE BLACK VINYL VERSION IS THE RAREST COMMERCIAL PRESSING.

THIS IS A GORGEOUS COPY, STILL IN THE SHRINK. ANY ODD COLORS YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES ARE NEON LIGHTS REFLECTED IN THE SHRINK.
