$

63

Dare I say this, but I'm convinced an Elvis Presley fan would recognize this collection as stunning in the breadth and depth of Elvis' unprecedented talent from his early days until the crescendo of his last concerts.  This lot includes his first album entitled Elvis Presley (still sealed) as well as his last live concert album combo entitled Elvis In Concert.  Included are 3 still factory sealed albums with 9 opened titles among which are three box sets and three double album sets.  There are 28 individual LP record albums.
This classic vintage lot is centered on Elvis Presley's consistently sold out, attendance record breaking, live shows.  However, this collection also has a huge array of his gold record hits and wonderful Christmas music.  And let's not forget that Elvis never shied away from crushing out gospel/religious masterpieces in his live performances.  Here is the list:
Still Factory Sealed (3 records) 1. LSP-1254(e) Elvis Presley 2. LPM-4088 Elvis TV Special 3. ANL1-1936 Elvis Sings The Wonderful World of Christmas
Opened Originals (25 records) 4. EAP-3699 Elvis Aron Presley Box Set with Sticker Limited Edition No. N09316 (8 records) 5. LPM-6401 Worldwide 50 Gold Award Hits Vol. 1 Box Set (4 records) 6. LPM-6402 The Other Sides - Elvis Worldwide Gold Award Hits Vol. 2 Box Set (4 records) 7. LSP-6020 From Memphis to Vegas/From Vegas to Memphis (2 records with tan labels) 8. LSP-4445 That's the Way It Is 9. LSP-4776 Elvis: As Recorded At Madison Square Garden 10. VPSX-6089 Aloha From Hawaii: Via Satellite (2 records) 11.

Please zoom in on all the pictures for details of both sides of the albums.  I propped the factory sealed items up in one picture so you can see them better.  They are immaculate.  All of the original sleeves as well as three additional opened plastic are included.  I plan to ship via USPS Media Mail using a 14x14x6 inch box which will weigh about 15 pounds.  Shipping via media mail often takes longer to deliver than Priority Mail.  So please be patient.  When I receive eBay notification of the auction winner's payment, I will ship either the same day or the next day - if the Post Office is still open.
Besides being recognized as the highest individual tax payer in the USA back when there was a 90% federal income tax bracket, Elvis Presley was also a prolific hard worker.  He performed nearly 1,800 live shows in the roughly 13 years he did live concerts.  That means he averaged nearly 140 shows per year when he was doing live performances and traveled all over the country while doing so.  When he wasn't doing live shows, he was either in the army (amidst the regular ranks mind you - not in the entertainment corps) or he was making 3 to 4 movies per year for about a decade.  And did I mention that he also recorded something like 750+ songs on 110+ singles and 79 albums released in his short lifetime - not to mention all the home recordings and public interviews and all the extras required of the legendary star.  And no I didn't include driving a truck and whatever else he did before his roughly 20 year musical career.  : - )
To the best of my knowledge, stunningly, none of the over 640+ live shows he performed before being drafted into the army were released on records/albums while he was alive - and very little was even released afterwards.  The live show Elvis phenomenon changed the music world and caused an uproar of excitement.  But they didn't release any of those live shows!  Oh well, at least the Elvis Aron Presley box set of 8 albums contains a live show from a benefit performance he gave.  It was the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial Benefit Concert from Honolulu, Hawaii March 25, 1961 which was done after completing his army stint.  It at least gives you a glimpse of the excitement of an early Elvis Presley live show.
The 12 titles in this auction were collected by my mom who graduated high school in 1957.  She was an Elvis fan from the beginning.  Almost all of the albums my mom purchased were bought before Elvis Presley died in 1977.  In fact, Elvis died on my mom's birthday August 16th.  Yep, my mom was a big fan and he died on her actual birthday.  I was 9 years old at the time and remember it clearly.  After his death my mom went on a little collection shopping spree to make sure she owned every one of his albums.  She already had virtually all of them.  But off we went to a bunch of stores to make sure we had the complete collection.  She bought a book that was a discography which listed all of Elvis records - I think it was entitled All American Elvis.  Indeed she successfully purchased at least one version of every album Elvis released in the United States of America.  I recall that there were two of his albums that we had a hard time finding.  They were Elvis: Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis (with Graceland on the cover) and the album entitled Elvis (from 1973) which contains the song named Fool.  But we eventually found these two hard to find albums.  Not sure if those albums are hard to find anymore.  But back in 1977 and in Pennsylvania they were hard for us to find going store to store in person via our old school collecting technique.  : - )
My mom also collected over 600 Elvis items including probably all or most of his cassettes, 8-tracks, VHS movies (more than 1 copy) and books, magazines, fan club prints, posters, etc.  Oh and none of these items including the albums in the auction have never left our family's house.  I moved back into the house after most of my family died including my mom, dad, and wife - God rest their beautiful souls.  Here's a brief summary of the collection that I will likely auction off in groups over the weeks ahead.  Please feel free to ask questions about what I have in the collection.  I would certainly try to prioritize whatever interests you.
- 145+ vinyl albums, 37 of these are still in the factory sealed plastic.  The collection includes at least one copy of every album he released in the USA.  As of this 7th Elvis vinyl LP auction, I only have 5 albums left, 2 still sealed including Moody Blue. - 90+ vinyl singles in two carrying cases (70 unique singles with 20 duplicates). - 135 8-tracks in four carrying cases. - 84 cassettes in two carrying cases. - 105 VHS videos, 30 of them are still unopened sealed VHS videos.  There is at least one copy of each of his 33 movies. - Large number of other items including books, posters, pictures, puzzles, magazines, fan club memorabilia, and trading cards, etc.
I am not a business; I'm just a private owner whose family has been in possession of these items since they came out (or thereabouts).  I'm simply trying to make people happy before I go to judgment.  When all of the items of interest are auctioned off, my online garage sale will end.  Oh and just for your information - I never use a reserve price in my auctions.  Please remember that these items are sold as are, no returns.  Thank you.
