How I Completed My US Elvis Presley LP Collection and Opened a New Can of Worms (Elvis UK EPs)

[@marcojefferson4896]

Nice

[@thomasmurray9249]

Nice records! Those UK EPs are in such nice condition. So now that you've got the US set somplete it begs the question...what's next? There always a "next" isn't there. 😃

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Always a "next". I just found some nice late-60s US orange label pressings last night! 😃

[@thomasmurray9249]

@@ElvisPresleyInJapan I have a soft place the Orange Label since that was what was being produced when I started collecting, so my initial collection was mostly made up of them, most were flex vinyl though I did my share of "rigids"

@@ElvisPresleyInJapan I have a soft place in my heart for the orange label since that what was being produced when I first started collecting, most of mine are flex vinyl although I did get more than of few of the "rigids"

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

@@thomasmurray9249 I'm exactly the same. Many of the first records I bought were post-1977 UK orange label RCA Victor records. I love the early '70s Japanese RCA pressings of the early albums and I always keep an eye out for early US and UK orange label pressings.

Hi David thanks ❤, Daniel.

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Welcome!

[@marklacam9748]

I love all the HMV 45s, I'll have all one day. Those were some really nice records you got there , happy collecting. Luv the show.

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

I'd love to get the HMV 45s too. I only have two. The problem is they're so expensive and rarely turn up in nice condition. Thanks for watching!

Hello David what cool Elvis collection you have my friend keep up cool video on Elvis long live Elvis

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Hi, Nigel. Thanks for watching!

[@ElvisRareRecordsNYC]

Hi Dave! So glad we were able to finish up your US LP King collection! It was long overdue & needless to say, you're more than deserved! Many, many Thx for the kind words & the plug!! 2 tidbits you forgot to mention in your post... 1) Jeff's copy of "Elvis" LP was the Alternate Old Shep pressing! We tip our hat to Jeff & Kudos to you!! 2) We topped off your collection by making sure you had All the US std releases, including the magical LOC 1035 (Red Xmas LP;) Looking fwd to our box of Elvis Goodies from you later this week. No doubt it will exceed expectations! In advance, from NYC Dave, to Tokyo Dave, TY, TYVM & Keep ELVIS King!

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Dave! You're right - I forgot to show LOC-1035. What an ingrate! Seriously, though, that was much appreciated, and I'll feature it in another video. And then you get another plug! And my copy of "Elvis" does indeed feature the alternate take of Old Shep. Thanks also to Jeff once again.

[@ElvisRareRecordsNYC]

@@ElvisPresleyInJapan Ingrate, you? Hell no! Don't fret. I didn't take it personally. After all, Jeff's Alt. Old Shep slipped your mind too! Just getting older, like All of us! :( Pls lmk when you post our next plug! ;) TY!!

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

All good thanks, Lior. Just a few '70s orange label albums to get now but I can find them in Japan for not too much money. Cheers.

Well done on completing David - those brilliant discography books are definitely dangerous, but fun too 😂

Many thanks.

[@grantbaensch9726]

Isn’t it great to complete a collection!! Nice to see David and how about the EP’s!!! I just love them and seeing some on the video I might have to go searching for some more myself!! Thanks!

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Ha-ha. It can be a bit addictive, eh? Cheers, Grant.

[@henryfong3471]

I love when a 45rpm has great artwork cover sleeves. I have a Gerry and the Pacemakers with a similar colour advertising sleeve from my last record fair pick up. Keep up your great work😊🤟

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

You'll have to tell me when you get some Elvis at one of those fairs 😊

[@henryfong3471]

@@ElvisPresleyInJapan lots of overpriced Elvis lps where the condition is not justified

[@malwalsh]

Nice one David, glad you’ve completed, in fact I always wonder do we ever complete? as there’s always something new to collect! cheers mate!

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

It never ends, Mal. That's part of the fun.

[@Tony-59-films]

great video. 👍 I’m very happy you got your US copies. Enjoy my friend.

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Thank you. I will.

[@alexandernijeboer8385]

Great video again David. I like these particular inner sleeves (that you found on your Double Trouble LP) but on various websites very little information is shared about those kind of inner sleeves. Apperently they came with Rockaway pressings only and the sleeve presents the address of the Rockaway plant. There are 3 variation of such Rockaway inner sleeves: a red/ black variation and a blue/ white (with and without 8 track catalogue). All appear with records issued in 1968-1970 timeframe. I have seen Speedway and On Stage with red/black/ white inner sleeve and own a copy of Camden Let's Be Friends with this one. I also own a copy of Flaming Star with (blue white without 8track inner sleeve) and Blue Hawaii (rigid orange deep groove label with light blue 8 track inner sleeve).

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

That's great info. Thanks, Alex. I now have two of them.

[@tonyjones622]

Hi Dave ,that US pressing of Elvis in mono ,what a gem ya a lucky man ,av just got that UK EP book don’t know if you’ve read it all but it’s a great read really in depth ,a was amazed at how many variations there were on some of the EPs ,totally agree with you when you say it gets you wanting buy ,it did me also ,av a copy of ,good rockin tonight ,but still on the hunt for love me tender ,and the gatefold Xmas EP ,got a very nice tri centre single sleeve of that ,like you a was a bit hesitant on the EP book a thought do a really need it but a love reading these books so a bought it and wasn’t disappointed,got quite a collection of these books now ,pride o place is yours and dick,s Japanese book ,that’s fantastic ,great video Dave take care ,tony 🎸🎶💃👍

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Hi, Tony. Yes, it's a nice, clean copy of the second album. So grateful to Jeff for reaching out. I haven't read the Extended EP book from cover to cover but I've had a good look through. I'm probably going to stop with the dozen or so UK EPs I have at the moment, although a nice Peace in the Valley would be nice. Great to hear you like our book. Have you got any of the Presleyana books? I have a couple of old editions, but I find them a bit of a slog to read with all that text and so few pictures (I sound like a ten-year-old). Have you got a recent edition? I'd be interested to know if they've made the format easier on the eye. Cheers, Tony.

[@tonyjones622]

Hi Dave ,a don’t have any of the presleyana books ,I did have one some years ago now but let it go unfortunately when I sold a lot of my collection 15 years ago now ,a can’t remember which volume it was but a remember the text was was on the small side and quite a lot of it ,me only gripe with the UK EP book is ad o preferred a hardback cover but apart from that it’s a really nice book ,take care Dave ,tony 🎸🎶

[@ivandrago6131]

Great video!!!

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Glad you liked it!

[@sturmgewehr70]

Nice additions to your collection!⚡️ David, wasn’t there a 1967 reissue of the Christmas EP? Did it have the same catalog number?

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Yes, the '67 pressing has the same catalogue number. Cheers.

[@BeatUpRecordsCDs]

Beautiful records. I have His Hand In Mine, mono original in shrink wrap. Why does your copy have the living stereo text partially shown in top corner ? ( it seems partially covered by the white back paper)

[@ElvisPresleyInJapan]

Both stereo and mono front covers were made from the same, oversized piece of paper called a slick. In the case of my copy, they didn't pull it far enough over the back to completely cover the Living Stereo text with the rear slick.

[@tommyhanlon5903]

Hi David I don’t usually get EPs because a lot of them come out of of sets take care bud
