ELVIS PRESLEY 78 RPM
WELL HERE'S AN ELVIS 78 YOU HAVE PROBABLY NEVER SEEN BEFORE, THE RAREST ELVIS 78 TO APPEAR ON EBAY IN LONG TIME, AND I'VE LISTED A GOOD FEW RARE ONES OVER THE YEARS
THIS IS THE FABLED RED EMPIRE WITH THE TREE PUBLISHING CREDIT ON THE "HEARTBREAK HOTEL" LABEL ON THE 'A' SIDE. "JUST BECAUSE" WITH THE (PD) CREDIT ON THE 'B' SIDE. AS YOU ALL KNOW (OR SHOULD) IF YOU SERIOUSLY COLLECT ELVIS 78s THAT TREE PUBLISHING WAS THE FIRST PUBLISHER OF "HEARTBREAK HOTEL", THAT'S THE NAME THAT APPEARS ON THE DEMOS AND THE VERY FIRST COPIES OF HEARTBREAK HOTEL. THE PD CREDIT (PUBLIC DOMAIN) APPEARED ON VERY EARLY COPIES ON ELVIS'S 1ST US LP, THEN WAS QUICKLY CHANGED TO FEATURE THE SONG WRITERS. SO WE HAVE A VERY EARLY 1956 LABEL ON TWO TRACKS FROM 1958, BECAUSE THIS 78 ACTUALLY PLAYS "KING CREOLE" / "NEW ORLEANS". IT WILL ALSO BE ONE OF THE LAST ELVIS 78S TO APPEAR ON A PROVINCIAL LABEL, AS RCA WERE JUST ABOUT TO PRESS ELVIS 78S ON THE RCA LABEL AT THIS TIME,THIS IS ALL EXPLAINED BELOW.
A-SIDE:HEARTBREAK HOTEL ON THE LABEL, PLAYS NEW ORLEANS
B-SIDE:JUST BECAUSE ON THE LABEL, PLAYS KING CREOLE
1958 ISSUE
ON THE RED WITH SILVER SCRIPT EMPIRE LABEL CAT No EP-121.THE CORRECT CAT No SHOULD BE 59-E
ULTRA RARE PROVINCIAL PRESSING FROM THE PHILIPPINES
VISUAL CONDITION:STRICT SOLID STRONG VERY GOOD, EXACTLY AS PER PHOTOS
PLAY GRADE ON REGA PLANAR 78 TURNTABLE(BROADCAST QUALITY):THE 78 PLAYS REALLY NICE, GRADES AT EXCELLENT ALL THE WAY
RCA DID NOT ISSUE ANY ELVIS 78s ON THE RCA LABEL UNTIL LATE 1958 IN THE PHILIPPINES AND THIS INCLUDED RE-RELEASING SOME EARLY TITLES "FIRST IN LINE" AS AN EXAMPLE. THE EARLY 1956 -TO LATE 1958 ISSUES WERE PRESSED BY PROVINCIAL LABELS, SUCH AS MILLION MARK, LANCER, ELECTRO-VOICE, EMPIRE, NATIONAL RECORDS, ORTHOPHONIC, SARIMANOH, ARISTOCRAT, TOP TUNE IN STATE, VISTA VISION, TOP HAT AND THE LIST GO'S ON.THAT'S WHY YOU FIND "JAILHOUSE ROCK" ON ORTHOPHONIC, LANCER, SARIMANOH, NATIONAL AND EMPIRE, TRY FIND A COPY ON RCA, YOU CAN'T BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER ISSUED ON RCA. THE SAME GOES FOR THE LATER ISSUES THEY ONLY EVER APPEAR ON THE RCA LABEL, IT'S NOW OR NEVER, I'M NOT THE MARRYING KIND, POISON IVY LEAGUE, WITCHCRAFT, ALWAYS RCA, NEVER THE PROVINCIAL LABELS. I HOPE THIS CLEARS UP ANY CONFUSION AROUND THE ELVIS PHILIPPINE ISSUES.THERE IS A LOT OF MIS-INFORMATION OUT THERE ON THESE EARLY PHIL ELVIS 78s, ESPECIALLY FROM SO CALLED "EXPERTS" THAT DON'T ACTUALLY OWN ANY OF THESE 78s, ILL-INFORMED AND TOTALLY WRONG COMMENTS ON 45 WORLDS FOR EXAMPLE.
