Description
Up for sale is The King's very first album, self titled. Elvis had made several singles with Sun Records before RCA bought his contract. This album soared to #1 and remained there for 10 weeks. The rest is history.
This is the ORIGINAL release, from 1956, not a later re-release! The cover has "Elvis" in light pink. The text in the box on the back has three parts: about "New Orthophonic" recording, about "blunted needles", and about "Gruve/Gard". All of the lettering on the labels is in silver. The matrix numbering on the dead wax reads as follows: On Side 1: G2 PP 1282-8S On Side 2: G2 PP 1283-7S My research suggests that these matrix numbers are for the "Hollywood pressing".
Side 1: Blue Suede Shoes: I'm Counting on You; I Got a Woman; One-Sided Love Affair; I Love You Because; Just Because Side 2: Tutti Frutti; Tryin' to Get to You; I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Cry; I'll Never Let You Go; Blue Moon; Money Honey
Please see above for details of condition and photos. Sold as is.
