·       ELVIS PRESLEY: THE OTHER SIDES: 50 WORLDWIDE GOLD AWARD HITS, VOL. 2 – ORIGINAL (?) 1971 RCA VICTOR 4-LP MONO BOX SET LPM-6402

·       GENUINE  U.S. PRESSING

·       THE BOX AND THE INSERTS ARE THE FIRST GENERATION PRESSING; HOWEVER, THE LABELS  APPEAR TO BE THE SECOND PRESSING CIRCA 1974/75 (WE SUSPECT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER SWIPED THE CONTENTS OF THE ORIGINAL BOX WITH THE SECOND-GENERATION RECORDS)

·       *** PROMOTIONAL COPY; THE RECORD HAS STOCK LABELS; HOWEVER, THE PROMOTIONAL STICKER ON THE COVER CLEARLY IDENTIFIES THE ITEM AS PROMOTIONAL ***

·       BEIGE (TAN) RCA LABEL, MID-70’s STYLE

·       THIS BOX SET INCLUDES ORIGINAL “ELVIS GARMENT” (A SAMPLE OF A CLOTH OSTENSIBLY MATCHING, OR TAKEN FROM, ELVIS’ WARDROBE IN A CUSTOM SEE-THRU ENVELOPE)

·       THE BOX SET ALSO INCLUDES ORIGINAL LARGE FOLDOUT POSTER OF ELVIS

·       THIS IS NOT AN IMPORT, RECORD CLUB RELEASE OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

·       THICK CARDBOARD BOX.

·       CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS

·       MACHINE-STAMPED MATRIX NUMBER IN TRAIL-OFF VINYL (DEAD WAX) OF THE RECORD

·       As far as we know, this album is currently out of print and unavailable on Compact Disc, or in any other format.

The Other Sides: Worldwide Gold Award Hits, Vol. 2 started life at the outset of the 1970s as a four-LP set, and the companion to Vol. 1, the latter containing the single A-sides while this was devoted primarily to the B-sides (some of which charted in their own right). At the time, both boxes -- and they were, indeed, classical-style box sets, and mastered in authentic mono (as opposed to the rechanneled stereo of most of Presley's reissue catalog) -- were revelations of different sorts. The first set, of course, delineated the hits from across the first 14 years of his career, while this volume filled out the account of Presley's range as a singer, and the richness that his voice brought to rock & roll, even in the years when he moved toward a more pop-oriented sound. Though there are big hits like "(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame," "Love Me," "One Night," and "Mean Woman Blues," much of the set is devoted to lesser-known songs like "Wild in the Country" and "My Baby Left Me." In the decades since the original LP release, Elvis' output has been heavily anthologized, but RCA still had reason to reissue this and its companion volume -- the CD edition has all 50 songs and boasts an elaborate 12-page booklet, an Elvis stamp, and is individually numbered. There is a wealth of great music here, though it isn't presented as logically as any of the three box sets representing Elvis across each of the three decades of his career, thus making it worthwhile mainly as a way to supplement the double-disc Top Ten Hits.

The PROMOTIONAL, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed among the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals", which is to say the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The records come in their original stock inner sleeves

(c)           The box comes with large original poster of Elvis Presley

(d)          The album ALSO comes with original piece of fabric from (allegedly) Elvis garment.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER (1/2” THICK BOX)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
