Featured Elvis Presley/Elvis 1956

It’s Friday....and I’m a ready teddy! Gonna rock it up, gonna rip it up!

From my collection:

This is a 1956 RCA Records Elvis Presley/Elvis LP first pressing, its in pretty mint condition, the vinyl plays awesome

 

I especially liked the 1968 tv special, it was a great concert! You really hear the music.

I think it must have been one of first un-plugged concerts before it was popular.

 

Elvis looked so good there, and that black leather outfit, oooh weee!

 

Yeah it has to be one of his best performances.

 

I agree @Michael77

 

@Michael77 I like the younger, raw Elvis the best though

 

Nice first issue. . . never seen the Canadian pressing. I was a bit of an outcast as a teen Elvis fan in the 70's - the day he died, I rode my bike 20 miles to buy several LP's. Later I got into early pressings. Probably the coolest item I have is an autographed photo of him in a gold suit in 1957, personalized to my older brothers & sister.

 

That signed photo sounds really cool! I actually have two Canadian first pressings of this LP, both vinyls are in amazing condition, but the cover I’ve pictured is the closest to mint condition of the two. I’ve felt like an outcast at times for sticking to what they call the “oldies”, I like “some” new music, but I was raised at home listening to a generation or so of music that truly speaks to me, my friends can have the new stuff lol @Drew nobody is an outcast Elvis fan in my books.
