Description
This is a true Elvis rarity. My personal copy of Elvis' very first PREVUE /demonstration /promotion copy for RCA from 1955, white label copy of Sun sides Mystery Train /I Forget to Remember to Forget.
When RCA bought Elvis' contract from Sun records in 1955 they acquired the rights to all recorded material to date as well. RCA then released the five Sun singles but in reverse order starting with the current Sun 45 Mystery Train. These five singles bridged the gap between the Sun 45s and Elvis' new material recorded in January 1956 and released in the summer of that year.
This is the PREVUE copy of that first RCA 45, stamped in the run off, and issued to promote the 'new' release. Highly sought after and treasured by Elvis collectors. It us difficult to find in any condition. The vinyl is in at least excellent condition and displays a high gloss with very few light hairline marks. It plays beautifully with a clear uninterrupted audio on both sides. The labels are clean, save for a light W/L on both labels. Comes in the RCA sleeve. See the pictures.
I found this record far harder to get than any Sun 45.
I'm starting the auction very low for this collector's item with no reserve so highest bid will win the record.

Always a money back guarantee if not satisfied.
Good luck and thanks for looking, Chr
