Disc label is a bootleg copy of a real Stiff label. Info, such as publish date, and country, may not be accurate.
Disc label states - "1977", but EC Wiki says these are 1975 studio demos with Flip City, except track B7 recorded 1978.
- "Promotional Copy - Not For Sale."
The sleeve credits the album to EC while the record label says The Rumour.
Front sleeve - "HELP US HYPE ELVIS
Today is your lucky day. In your hands, an unashamed promotional scam courtesy of Stiff Records. We are trying to sell records and make Elvis a huge star. He is trying to pay off his mortgage. You have been recommended by .......... who was courteous enough to pay the postage. We were gracious enough to pay the album costs. El waived his royalties. So now we've done our bit - you do yours. Clamp your ears around this disc. If you like it spread the word. Play it. Pollute the metropolis. If you don't like it, remember that we know who you are and that we have your address. Our address is Stiff Records, 32 Alexander Street, London W2.
All feedback not unwelcome."
Rear sleeve - Sleeve: "Special thanks to: The Rumor, Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, and everyone else who made it all possible"
Near Mint both cover and vinyl. Bootleg press.
I am the original owner who worked at an indie record store in late 70's /early 80's and spent many a pay check collecting vinyl!
Part of my large private collection of MINT, NEVER PLAYED records which have been stored safely since purchase and kept in a smoke free / pet free environment.
Rest assured the items I am selling are in the condition stated, and most never even hit the shelves of the store I worked in as I would buy straight out of the box and handle with care!
Regarding vinyl, if you would like the item taken out of the jacket cover to avoid any potential seam splits, please advise otherwise item will be packed as is but securely and in most cases should not be an issue with seam splits.
