Very Rare German pressing of the Elvis 1956 Debut Album!
“Very interesting and rare Elvis LP! This is the first Elvis LP from 1956 and it is a very special pressing: Teldec had the licence to produce RCA records in Germany and they created a very special label in the years 1956 and 1957 for their RCA records. These records had german pressed vinyl which indicates the stamp Manufactured in germany in the trailout-groove, but they used a label which was a mixture of US dog on top/Nipper logo and german RCA. However the Nipper is not in color as it was normal on US pressings, the number is LPM-1254-C(!) which was a unique german number for Elvis first LP. The label states Made in USA!! All records with that label were only sold in german PX stores, which made records available for US servicemen. These records were never sold in normal german music/record stores. The cover here is the US 1st Cover with light pink/green box, however backcover has the unique PX stamp.”
This has been play tested and has an audible warp on track one, but played through with a heavier tracking conical stylus. Audible ticks and pops throughout, but not distracting when summed to mono due to the hot pressing. Sleeve has tape along the top and bottom and the cover is peeling along the edge. Some tearing in the corners. Record is being sold as a rare collectors item, one of the coolest records I’ve come across in a while!
