$

3,151

THIS AUCTION IS FOR ONE OF THE EARLIEST AND HARDEST TO FIND ELVIS PRESLEY COLLECTABLES: THE FABLED “SPD-23” E.P. COLLECTION.

THIS 12 SONG / THREE 7” E.P. COLLECTION FROM RCA – VICTOR RECORDS WAS A VALUE ADDED PROMOTIONAL ITEM GIVEN AWAY IN 1956 TO RETAIL CUSTOMERS IN THE UNITED STATES WHO PURCHASED A COMPANION RCA RECORD PLAYER.

SINCE THE RECORD PLAYER RETAILED FOR ALMOST $50 (A LOT OF MONEY IN 1956) NOT MANY PLAYERS WERE SOLD OR E.P. COLLECTIONS GIVEN AWAY.

GRADING IS AS FOLLOWS:

PASTED TRIPLE GATEFOLD JACKET: NEAR MINT / VERY GOOD ++

NO SEAM SPLITS, NO TEARS, NO STAINS, NO WRITING, NO WATER DAMAGE, NO PEELING, ONLY NATURAL FADING AND VERY MINIMAL SHELF WEAR.

PLAY GRADED 7” 45 RPM SINGLES:

SIDE 1 – BLUE SUEDE SHOES / I’M COUNTING ON YOU: VERY GOOD +

MODEST PLAY WEAR WITH MINOR SURFACE NOISE - NO POPS, SKIPS, OR JUMPS.

SIDE 2 - I GOT A WOMAN / ONE SIDED LOVE AFFAIR: VERY GOOD +

MODEST PLAY WEAR WITH MINOR SURFACE NOISE; NO POPS, SKIPS, OR JUMPS EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST HALF OF “I GOT A WOMAN” WHICH HAS A “STATIC” SURFACE NOISE THAT CYCLES THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE SONG AND THEN DISAPPEARS.

(A THOROUGH CLEANING IN A NICE RECORD CLEANNING MACHINE MAY GO A LONG WAY TOWARDS ELIMINATING THIS AND SOME OF THE OTHER SURFACE NOISE FOUND ON THESE.)

SIDE 3 - I’M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND CRY / I’LL NEVER LET YOU GO: VERY GOOD +

MODEST PLAY WEAR WITH MINOR SURFACE NOISE – NO POPS, SKIPS, OR JUMPS.
