Collecting the King Show - Episode #43 "Just a Little Bit". (30 min)

[@kingelvis1956]

Another outstanding video, Robert! I’m going to share my opinion with you on how the Dynaflex “White Tops” may have come about. This anomaly can be compared with the LSP-6020 “From Memphis To Vegas” album with orange labels, flexible vinyl WITH the “Error Credits”. My theory is that X-amount of labels were produced for various LP’s and when these records were being pressed, some older labels were remaining in the “hopper”, so to speak. I immediately noticed that the flexible copy that Johnny B had discovered had the later, “flat labels” which is the way they would be had it been an orange labels pressing. I wouldn’t let the inner sleeve bother me all that much as inner sleeves get mixed up when playing several records at a time. My guess is that this copy of “Girls! Girls! Girls!” Would have actually been pressed in 1971 and most likely came with sleeve 54A, B, C or D. I wish you, Carol and Johnny B a very Happy New Year! Walter

I just want to correct an error that I made above; the inner sleeve for the “White Top” copy of “Girls! Girls! Girls!” Flexible vinyl copy should been any of these: 54A, 55A, 56A or 57A as these were all manufactured in 1971.

Another great show Robert. Very informative.

During the Soviet Union, the only Elvis recordings released officially were on compilations. So far I have seen 3 albums and 1 EP.

Johnny B. Seriously, You were giving me a heartache with the way you were handling this album!!! 💿 😂😂😂 Robert, How much would you say it’s worth? Unbelievable find!!! Good job fellas. 😊

[@johnbarancyk5491]

We had to show how much it bends how flexible it is!!!!

[@Kymoon99]

Happy New Year, Robert and family 🎉🎉⚡️⚡️

[@FrankVacanti-m2g]

Robert, I've found 2 copies of the Girls Girls Girls flexi here in California, both Hollywood pressings and both with that same inner sleeve. I always speculated they were cleaning out the warehouse of old labels and covers, but released maybe in 1971? Cheers!

[@nickmele9968]

Quite interesting show.

[@MotherOf-Ferrets]

Another awesome show! Those were so interesting records you talked about!! I can't wait to see the episode with Neil. I have a cool book called The EPE Catalog by Bob Pakes that is full of 1956 EPE items. Those are some of my favorites to try to collect. My collection isn't massive but I'm pretty proud of it. Seasons Greetings to you and Carol ⚡️TCB⚡️

[@collectingtheking]

I'm glad you like the show. I hope you enjoy the Neil episode.

Fascinating watch, I really enjoyed hearing about the 'Brightest Stars of Christmas' album, thank you Robert. During the 1970's here in the UK, the only LP's available at our library were usually classical, (I wonder if that explains the cover design on the New World, Country Music album).. that looks an amazing record, especially seeing Elvis along side Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline etc... and all in original mono! Happy New Year, Steve

[@ClassicRockLiveConcerts]

The Flying Saucer, Part 1 by Buchanan and Goodman is kind of a various artist collection. I actually have a couple 78’s and 45’s of these.

[@DeanJones-c2o]

Nice video Steve.Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and all the best for a happy and healthy 2025

[@collectingtheking]

Steve?? 🤔

[@Jase-kv6sb]

Hello Robert, fantastic show! What value would you give 1989 Christmas In The Air LP that you mentioned about in the video since it’s an album that’s not really known about and would be pretty rare since it was released in 1989. Great show again and always appreciate you sharing your knowledge for Elvis!!

[@robertmurphy3128]

Another interesting show yet again. Do you know if Lilo and stitch soundtrack was ever released on regular vinyl, all I can find is a picture disc version?

[@ryanpersohn6012]

I think I had Christmas in the Air.

FLEXIBLE VINYL LPs IN THE '60S 1. I had the conversation you mentioned in the video above with the RCA exec decades ago, which was decades after the alleged experiments with flexible vinyl in the '60s. So, for my suggestion that the flexible vinyl GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS! was manufactured in the '60s, we have to rely on my decades-old memory of a conversation with another man whose memories were decades old decades ago! 2. . The RCA exec mentioned six titles that were used in the flexible vinyl experiment of the '60s, none of them being GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS! or PARADISE, HAWAIIAN STYLE. So, if he was correct with the six he mentioned, and you have found two more, then there may be others. If so, then "white-top 'Stereo' LPs on flexible vinyl" may become a new category that completist Elvis collectors will have to add to their must-find lists. PS: Thanks for the kind words and keep on keepin' on!

[@SuperAtlantis1]

Robert, do collect any of the reel to reels?

[@collectingtheking]

@@SuperAtlantis1 I do not.

[@SuperAtlantis1]

@collectingtheking I wonder about their value

[@collectingtheking]

@SuperAtlantis1 - they sell for hundreds of dollars depending on the title.

[@SuperAtlantis1]

@collectingtheking well I saw a GI blues copy and was wondering. Thank you Roberto 😊

[@Axeman517]

Note the wrong song title on the playboy lp label!

[@cut1986]

Learned a lot on this one. Spent some money during the episode. Lol.
