THE STORY: AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD... ( I AM NO EXPERT)

MOODY BLUE IS ELVIS' LAST RECORD. RECORDED AND RELEASED JUST BEFORE HE DIED IN AUGUST OF 1977. THE FIRST PRESSING OF MOODY BLUE WAS ON BLACK VINYL AFL1-2428. IT WAS DISTRIBUTED AS PROMOTIONAL AND ADVANCE COPIES TO DJ'S, RADIO STATIONS AND PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY, ETC.

 IT IS SAID THAT THE EXECUTIVES AT RCA DECIDED TO PRESS MOODY BLUE ON BLUE VINYL AS A LIMITED RUN. THUS MAKING IT MORE EXCITINIG TO HAVE AND COLLECT AS THIS WAS A POPULAR TACTIC TO PROMOTE SALES AND GIVE COLLECTORS A CHANCE TO GET A RARE BLUE VINYL RECORD OF ELVIS.

JUST AS THEY BEGAN PRESSING BLUE VINYL ELVIS DIED. THAT COMPELLED THE PEOPLE AT RCA TO CONTINUE PRESSING BLUE VINYL AS A TRIBUTE TO ELVIS AND THEY ENDED UP PRESSING MOST OF THE MOODY BLUE ALBUMS ON BLUE VINYL. (MAKING THE BLACK VINYL VERY RARE)

IT HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED OVER THE YEARS THAT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT INTEND TO PRODUCE ALL OF THE MOODY BLUE ALBUMS ON BLUE VINYL THAT THEY RAN OUT OF BLUE VINYL. WHILE OUT OF THE BLUE VINYL THEY PRODUCED A SMALL RUN OF BLACK VINYL UNTIL THEY GOT MORE BLUE VINYL IN STOCK.

RCA THEN RE-RELEASED MOODY BLUE ON BLACK VINYL IN 1980, AS WELL AS FEW IMPORTS PRESSED ON BLACK VINYL AS YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN LISTED. THEY MAY BE CONSIDERED RARE BUT AS THERE ARE SEVERAL RE-ISSUES WITH LONG BLACK VINYL RUNS (NO BLUE) I DON'T CONSIDER THEM IN THE SAME CATGORY (VERY RARE). THE MOST RECENT RE-RELEASE WAS THIS SPRING WITH BLUE VINYL AND GATEFOLD COVER!!!
