DEMONSTRATION SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE 

POP 182

G2-WB-209

HEARTBREAK HOTEL (Axton/Durden/Presley)

ELVIS PRESLEY with Rhythm acc 

Tree Pub.

At the centre has an embossed RT tax code around the centre spindle

Vinyl: I have no means of playing this, but visually both sides have light wear only, but no deep marks on the grooves. It really is in incredible condition for its age both the groove side and the blank side. I would grade this VG but its in far better shape than most 78s i have seen, probably due to being kept in this sleeve. The blank side has a blueish plain label with an almost metallic finish.

Matrix: Machine stamped G2-WB 209-1

Other information: This comes from a collection of 4 Elvis 78s, One of which is also for sale here, there are 2 other SUN discs to be auctioned in the next two weeks. Unfortunately the original owner is no longer with us, these belong to a family member and there is no documentation about where this demo came from, it really is an unknown quantity. Any information about it would be very useful. Having researched this, I can only find similar factory test pressings with printed and hand written labels, but this seems to be a demo unlike any other.

Postage will be Fedex only, this will be sent in a large quantity of card and bubblewrap, or it can be collected in the UK. UK Postage is £10.00, please wait for invoice.

Any questions will be answered with private responses via email. Thanks for looking.
