ELVIS PRESLEY
When this record was released, Argentina record market was mainly dominated by Argentinean Folk and Tango records. Carlos Di Sarli, Juan D’Arienzo and Aníbal Troilo were among those top sellers. So, when RCA decided to promote Elvis’ first EXTENDED-PLAY Album, like practically everywhere, Elvis’ success was more than welcomed by young audiences but adult journalists thought different! “Jazzlandia” (Jazzland), Argentina’s leading music magazine was the first to feature a big Elvis article. Its title: “LA NUEVA ‘LOCURA MUSICAL DE E.E.U.U. – ELVIS PRESLEY/EL MUCHACHO DEL ‘ROCK’” (America’s Newest Music Craze – Elvis Presley/The Boy Of ‘Rock’). By 1958, ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ was re-released as part of my all-time favorite Elvis Presley Extended-Play album: AVE-66/ELVIS PRESLEY. Released May 23rd., 1958, the EP includes NO ME DIGAS NO (Don’t); HOTEL DE CORAZONES DESTROZADOS (Heartbreak Hotel); PERRO FEROZ (Hound Dog) and FIESTA (Party).
In those days, RCA still did not use the white labels they used from 1959 onwards (AVE-219 being the FIRST WHITE LABEL PROMO EP). So when they sent records to selected radio stores or DJ´s, they simply used a sticker on cover and/or label (both in this baby) with the words “ESPECIAL PARA RADIODIFUSION” (For Broadcasting Only) sticker on cover and/or label. Unbelievably, in over 40 years of collecting, selling and buying Elvis records, this is the 3rd time I see this baby, and it’s in unbelievable shape considering its rarity and age!!!
Different to any other worldwide release, this EP has a gorgeous 1956 Elvis’ profile over a reddish background.
This EP was issued on Purple label and has never been re-released.
