Description

NO VINYL-------SLEEVE ONLY--------NO RECORD-------SLEEVE ONLY---
A few years ago I set out to create authentic-looking picture sleeves for every Elvis release that did not originally include one. Eventually I also branched out and just did alternate versions some of the RCA sleeves. I've done professional layout and graphics design work and have also had paintings in oils and acrylics shown and sold in galleries in New Orleans and on commission. I didn't want to use photos of Elvis that we've all seen, so in some cases, I digitally created new images of Elvis. In other cases, I tried to use "rare" photos that have been "restored."  I wanted them to look authentic, but I also wanted them to be sharp, in color and as fully original as I could make them. (A few of my created photos have circulated around online--which is to be expected. But I am the origin.)
Like many of Elvis' 45s from 1956, RCA did not issue this one with a picture sleeve. If I had been lucky enough to be working for the art department at RCA in the 50s, this is the sleeve the record would have come in. The sleeve is professionally printed on thick 325gsm cardstock, with matte and gloss finish, similar to most of Elvis' 7" EP releases. It is in a protective ultra-clear poly sleeve. Unless it was purchased here and from me, chances are the Elvis fan in your life doesn't have this. If you have this 45 in the original RCA company sleeve, this is made to hold and protect that. Thanks to eBay, my sleeves are in Elvis collections in Australia, Japan, Germany, England, Canada and all over the USA!  I have never ordered more than 20 of any sleeve from the printer. So these are always going to be a very limited edition. SIGNED, DATED & NUMBERED - This is the first new sleeve I have done in years. I now have included the correct number, 47-6540, on the sleeve where I used to put my name. This is Print #1 of 10, and it is signed and dated on the inside of the sleeve, out of sight unless looking for it.  
This is the third time I have done a sleeve for this particular song. My first version was perfectly fine, but I decided I wanted the image for I'll Never Let You Go. The 2nd version was just not something I was ever happy with. But now, with images direct from the live performance on the Steve Allen Show, this is definitely my definitive final version of the sleeve.    I go thru eBay's international shipping center to ship anywhere. BUT that means I have no control over what they charge for shipping. I send it to an eBay shipping center in Kentucky using the $5 I charge, after that they handle the overseas shipping and charging. I have been told it is expensive, so be aware. Thanks for looking! I'm posting more Elvis items soon!!!!!!!!!
