Description

Elvis Presley LPM-1254

German Pressing 1956!

No Reserve

Incredibly rare item! One of the holy grails of Elvis records; seldom seen and not found listed in any record catalog that I know of. This is not the same as the German pressing meant for sale in Germany. The labels are different as well as the cover. This record was meant for sale to Americans. All language is in English and there are statements that it was made in the US. However the wax indicates German manufacture (See Below).

Some say these were made only for our military men over in Germany. But that is just a guess. There have been a few recently sold on Ebay.

THE LP IS ON THE BLACK RCA LABEL. THE SERIAL NUMBER IS LPM-1254.THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1956 ISSUE WITH LONG PLAY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RECORD.

THE NUMBERS ENGRAVED INTO THE GROVES OF SIDE 1 ARE LP-G2-PP-1282-X SIDE 2 ARE LP-G2-PP-1283-X.

VISUALLY THE PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN GOOD CONDITION BUT THE TOP SEAM AND SPINE HAVE SPLIT ALL THE WAY ACCROSS,SMALL 1 INCH RIP TO THE REAR OPENING,THE BOTTOM SEAM HAS STARTED TO SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE WHERE THE RECORD HAS SAT OVER THE YEARS PLEASE SEE PICS. BUT WHATS MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT THE SLEEVE IS STILL SHARP AND THE RED STAMP IS NICE AND CLEAR.

VISUALLY I WOULD GRADE THE RECORD AS IN GOOD TO VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH LIGHT SURFACE MARKS/SURFACE SCRATCHES,THE LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO WRITING OR STICKERS, THE VINYL STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL SHINE AND COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE PLEASE SEE PICS.

My theory is that RCA used a German manufacturer because Germany was still in a reconstruction state.The quality was high and the price was inexpensive, especially for an album they were having trouble keeping up with orders. It is not unheard of record companies going outside of their normal channels to keep up with demand. Decca pressed for Parlophone for the Beatles at one time. However, the origin had to be somewhere least noticable and a possible red tariff stamp were used (covered later by the sticker). This was done possibly because anti German sentiment ran very high in the 1950's in America. I believe that RCA abandoned having these made in Germany early-on due to the possible backlash.

 

THIS ORIGINAL GERMAN PRESSING DATED 1956 AND IS MEGA RARE IN ANY CONDITION SO DONT MISS OUT.
