On 06-Mar-14 at 22:34:34 GMT, seller added the following information:
On offer here is one of the scarcest Elvis Presley vinyl releases ever issued. This earliest European EP is almost impossible to find, and is practically undocumented. Hours spent on line attempting to discover information on it only turned up one reference, which is printed below:
" I can't find any information (on the internet) about an old Elvis EP I have.
Maybe you can help me out? "
Rockin' with Elvis Volume 1
RCA 75.524 45-E.P.
A-side
- Tutti Frutti
- Blue suede shoes
B-side
- Hound dog
- Don't be cruel
I suspect it to be an EP from 1956, because the number written on the backside sleeve at the bottem:
82-20-12-56-M
On the label is written:
Made in Belgium by "DISEL" S.A.
According to the book "Elvis, king of Belgium" by Peter Verbruggen Disel pressed the RCA discs up until the end of 1957 after which they were printed in Germany by Teldec until 1974 when RCA Belgium started to press discs.
The label number sequence indicates it is an EP from 1956 and the only EP that features a picture of Elvis, Scotty, Bill & D.J. on the frontsleeve. Same picture was used for volume 2 but the colour changed.
I have only ever seen this EP offered for sale once before, at Utrecht in the Netherlands with an asking price of 2500 Euro's. The cover has fantastic laminate & shine, so much more appealing than the flat cardboard used for the USA issued EP, which was the ONLY other EP ever issued showing all the band members on the sleeve. This is a candidate for the nicest & rarest Elvis EP ever issued anywhere in the world. A classic photo, 4 all time classic tracks, and a mindblowing design add up to create a singular Elvis collectible. This may be the only chance to add this vintage 1950's issued EP to your collection.
