ORIGINAL MEGA-RARE ELVIS PRESLEY PROMOTIONAL 45 EP AND ULTRA-RARE PAPER PICTURE SLEEVE. THIS WAS ISSUED AS A PROMO ONLY, AS RCA VICTOR EP PRO-12, CIRCA DEC. 1956. RCA VICTOR PRODUCED APPROX. 20-25 COPIES OF THIS RECORD AND SLEEVE EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE TOLEDO, OHIO RADIO STATION, "WOHO 1470 KC", AS A "SPECIAL GIVE-A-WAY PRIZE" TO LISTENERS. THERE ARE ABOUT 3(+1 MINE) KNOWN COPIES TO EXIST (PICTURE SLEEVE W/45) IN VARYING CONDITIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO REPORTED COPIES OF THE 45 EP ONLY (WITHOUT THE SLEEVE) THAT HAVE COME UP FOR SALE OR AUCTION, (ONE WAS SOLD ON EBAY IN "G" CONDITION FOR APPROX. $500.00). (ONE WITH THE SLEEVE SOLD FOR $1800.) AS YOU CAN SEE I AM FROM TOLEDO AND GREW UP LISTENING TO WOHO ON MY TRANSISTER RADIO.

THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE IS IN VG CONDITION SPLIT COMPLETELY DOWN THE LEFT SIDE AND A 2" SPLIT IN THE BOTTOM MIDDLE, SOME TINY NICKS ACROSS THE TOP. THERE IS NO PAPER LOSS.THERE IS ALSO A RED INK P.S. IN THE LAST O OF WOHO ALONG WITH A SMALL DARK SMUDGE NEAR THE MIDDLE.IT ALSO HAS LIGHT RECORD IMPRESSIONS FROM STORING THE RECORD IN IT ALL THESE YEARS.THE BACK HAS YELLOWED A BIT WITH AGE AND DOES HAVE SOME SOILING.I HAVE TRIED TO BE VERY HONEST ABOUT THE CONDITION.HAVING SAID ALL THAT,THIS RARE SLEEVE WILL STILL DISPLAY VERY NICELY AND BE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION.

THE RECORD IS VG+.THE A SIDE HAS A LIGHT SCRATCH VISIBLE THAT CAUSES SOME SMALL POPS AT THE BEGINING BUT NO SKIPPING ALONG WITH  LIGHT SURFACE MARKS.THE B SIDE HAS A SMALL NICK IN THE LEAD IN AND LIGHT SURFACE MARKS THE LABLES ON BOTH SIDES ARE CLEAN SHOWING VERY LIGHT WEAR.
