Description

Elvis Presley
Rip It Up + Love Me b/w When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again + Paralyzed
RCA EPA 992

This item features a very rare pressing of this record, the 45 has the orange RCA label that was used from 1969 to 1974. The record was custom pressed for a Midwest retailer circa 1970 and it has been estimated that approximately only 1,000 copies in this form exist. RCA pressed this disk in the Indianapolis plant and used their remainder EP PS stock to sleeve the record which explains why the PS is copyrighted 1956. The EP PS has about a 3 inch seam split at the bottom, caused by the age of the sleeve, but the real value of this item is in the extremely rare issue of this disk with the orange label. I am grading the PS as Near Mint even with the seam split as the sleeve overall deserves this rating and the record grades as no less than Near Mint as is Unplayed.

RCA made a printing error on this jacket. The front cover features the picture/artwork for the "Elvis Presley" EP (RCA EPA 747, released the same year) instead of the proper front cover for EPA 992! The back cover is correct and the 45 is also correct. It is likely both EP jackets were being printed simultaneously at some point as both were issued in 1956 and somehow the wrong front cover wound up on some jackets.

This 45 came out of a warehouse inventory of a major US record distributor of the period.

The 45 will be shipped in a white sleeve, separated from the jacket and 45 and jacket will each be placed in a protective plastic cover.
