ELVIS PRESLEY

"a mess of blues"

RCA DEMO

Catalogue number L2WW 0085

We have been selling some incredibly scarce ELVIS records here on eBay over the past few weeks, many demos and promos. So we have looked hard and found three more for you! These are nice!!

Here we have a green label, single sided 'demonstration sample not for sale' of "Mess of Blues"

This was released in the UK in1960 on RCA 1194. However, prior to release a few test pressings and 'demos' woul have been made and this is one of them.

Collecting demos is fiercely fought among collectors as there were so few made and they are rarely seen. The are, in fact, better than 'first editions' as they pre-date an actual release.

Condition of the playing surface is 'excellent' with only the lightest of surface marks. The label is perfectly clean with the running time (2m 38s) hand written at the three o'clock position.

A very nice and desirable item!

______________________

As with other rare items I am listing I would like to tell you a little about me to give you confidence in bidding and to assure you that these are absolutely genuine items. I am the managing director of the world famous BEANOS RECORDS and we have had our shops in South London for over 30 years. I write about rare records, appear on TV and Radio and constantly in the National Press. It is BEANOS LIMITED that are selling this most desirable item but I want to be your contact for any queries and, also, to take away the faceless negotiation that an important international auction can sometimes have. I can tell you everything you need to know about this auction lot if you email me with any questions and, you are welcome to visit our shop and view the actual item (by prior appointment) with myself. I have to point out that most of the goods I offer on eBay are also on sale in my shop and I might have to end an auction early if I have another buyer.
