ELVIS PRESLEY

"BLUE SUEDE SHOES by ELVIS PRESLEY"  1956 US ORIGINAL RCA VICTOR EPA-747, FIRST PRESS 7" EP WITH MEGA-RARE TEMPORARY/PR0M0 SLEEVE 

OVERSIZED, VERY UNUSUAL 1956 RCA ORIGINAL ENVELOPE SLEEVE AND 1st PRESS EP! REFERRED TO AS 'THE TEMPORARY SLEEVE' BUT IF THIS EP WENT OUT TO SHOPS IN THIS ENVELOPE SLEEVE IT WOULDN'T BE NEARLY THE MEGA-RARITY IT IS, SO MY OPINION IS THIS HAD TO BE A TEMPORARY PR0M0TI0NAL SLEEVE ONLY, RUSHED OUT TO GET THE FIRST ELVIS EP INTO THE HANDS OF DJ'S AND RACK JOBBERS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. THE RECORD ITSELF IS ALSO DIFFERENT THAN THE STANDARD COMMERCIAL ISSUE, IN THAT THE LABEL CREDITS HAVE THE TITLES & COMPOSERS INFORMATION ALL ON ONE LINE FOR EACH SONG AND 'ELVIS PRESLEY' IN TINY LETTERS AT A DISTANCE FROM THE TITLES. THIS IS A DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE FROM THE STANDARD EP YOU FIND IN THE STANDARD CARD COVER.

TRACKS:

• BLUE SUEDE SHOES
• TUTTI FRUTTI
• I GOT A WOMAN
• JUST BECAUSE

CONDITION DETAILS:

• SLEEVE FLAP IS INTACT AND COMPLETE
• PERIMETER OF SLEEVE IS AGED AND LIGHTLY BROWNED/YELLOWED FROM AGE, NOT FROM SMOKE
• SLEEVE IS GENERALLY AGED, CRINKLED AND SOMEWHAT FRAGILE AT THE AGED EDGES BUT BASICALLY SOLID AND STILL PLIABLE
• EDGES HAVE SOME SMALL CRACKS AND TINY TEARS
• SOME SUN FADED AREAS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES, MOSTLY ON THE BACK
• 7" DETAILS: RARE LABEL VARIATION THAT MOST LIKELY ONLY CAME WITH THIS TEMPORARY SLEEVE (PERHAPS A FEW MADE IT INTO THE VERY FIRST HARD COVERS BUT THEY ARE EXTREMELY RARE.
• THE EP LABELS HAVE MINOR WEAR: TINY STICKER REMOVAL MARKS AND A SPOT OF WEAR AT THE EDGE OF LABEL ON SIDE 1, SIDE 2 LABEL IS VERY NICE
• PLAYING SURFACES HAVE LIGHT TO  MODERATE PLAY WEAR AND SOME SUPERFICIAL BUT OBVIOUS MARKS ON SIDE 1. WITHOUT A VPI OR NITTY GRITTY CLEANING THE RECORD WILL PROBABLY HAVE LIGHT GENERAL SURFACE NOISE, PERHAPS SOME MINOR LIGHT POPS

THANK YOU VERY MUCH & GOOD LUCK!

In response to numerous inquiries, the lettering is dark blue, not black! I think if you 'enlarge' or 'zoom' the pix you can see this, enlarged it is obvious, I think, but I understand the vision thing after sitting in front of a computer all day! Good luck & thank you!
