Well folks, here is it. The absolute rarest of Elvis's commercially issued MONO lps, the legendary SPEEDWAY album.  What makes this so rare?  In 1967, monaural albums were being phased out.  By 1968, mono was virtually extinct, but this album was for some reason recorded and released in MONO.  WHY?  Possibly to service AM radio stations that still played mono over the airwaves. It's my understanding that unless you special ordered a Mono LP in 1968, they were not stocked in the stores. Translation?  For the million plus copies of this LP sold in STEREO, only a few hundred now exist in mono. If that many! Current price guides show this as being valued at $2,000 to 3,000.  Supply and Demand rule the true value.  There are virtually NO copies of original USA pressings on the market, and Elvis is one of the most collected artists of all time.  THIS ALBUM IS BEING OFFERED WITHOUT A RESERVE!!!

HOW DID I OBTAIN THIS LP???

A year ago I purchased a collection of LP's from an old disc jockey in Dayton, Ohio.  This LP was in his collection of RADIO STATION LP's.  I must point out that the cover is a STEREO LSP edition and I never check the LP beyond that.  A couple of weeks ago while I was making LOTS for future auctions I stumbled across this LP again.  This time I pulled the LP out to clean it from finger prints and dust and noticed that the label listed the LP as MONAURAL!!  So I played it, and YES, it is true MONO!!  So why does it have a Stereo cover?  This I can not answer.  I do not know if it was released/shipped with a STEREO COVER/MONO LP or if the disc jockey had a STEREO and a MONO LP and mixed the covers ..... I do not know.  All I know is this is one rare pressing and is being sold to one lucky winner. GOOD LUCK!!
