This is the Special Christmas Program issued to a select 2000 radio stations for a holiday broadcast set on Sunday, December 3, 1967. While many of the radio stations received this reel-to-reel, others received this program on album. The artwork for the reel-to-reel program has been used for various bootleg releases and as a likely custom cover for an album that was found in 1976.

Envelope: Mailing envelope, front and back.¹ The mailing envelope measuring about 9″ x 9″ contained a sealed reel to reel tape with four-page booklet, an Indianapolis pressing, regular release of If Everyday Was Like Christmas / How Would You Like To Be, and an RCA letterhead note.

Cover: Box cover front and back.² The reel-to-reel tape came sealed in shrink-wrap with a four page booklet inside.³

This is an example of an unused slic that was to be used for the cover front and back.⁴

Reel: Red and white label with white, green, and black print.²

Letter: The letter measures about 8.5″ x 8.5″ and reads, Dear Programmer: This letter should serve to advise you that your local announcer should insert the following message immediately after the completion of the program: “This radio show has been presented for the holiday season in association with and assistance from RCA Victor Records and All Star Show.” Best regards, Patrick J. Kelleher, Manager, Popular Promotion. The address on the bottom is 155 East Twenty-Fourth Street, New York, N.Y. 10010. Although the image doesn’t provide the detail, there is an RCA watermark.⁶

Booklet: Four pages, measuring about 7″ x 7″ and featuring the contents of the radio broadcast.²⁶

Disc: Gold label. Elvis 50th Anniversary. Blue vinyl. Correctly shows Blue Suede Shoes as mono and Promised Land as stereo.
Matrix numbers: PB-13929A-5 / PB-13929B-5

It is in my opinion that the corrected record labels, where Blue Suede Shoes is mono and Promised Land is stereo is considerably more rare than the error labels. This is incredibly difficult to find and undervalued. While actively looking for it, it took over three years to track this one down.

Pickwick Sticker Variations

Posted on January 4, 2012 by admin

Modified: January 4, 2012

Here is something worth noting. There are at least three different SUPER SOUND! PICKWICK SUPER SAVINGS! stickers that may be applied to the Elvis Presley Pickwick releases. The examples above illustrate three such stickers. The chart below compare each of the three stickers.

From left to right, sticker 1 is 3″ x 2 1/2″, sticker 2 is 2″ x 2″ and sticker 3 is 1 3/8″ x 1 3/8″ in size. The 1 3/8″ x 1 3/8″ sticker also has a ® above the word PICKWICK.

EPA-689 Jaye P. Morgan

Posted on January 4, 2012 by admin

Modified: July 30, 2018

Side 1: You Turned the Tables on Me / I Fall in Love with You Every Day
Side 2: Guess I’ll have to Change My Plan / Can’t We Be Friends

Cover: picture sleeve front and back. JAYE P. MORGAN in yellow letters. WITH HUGO WINTERHALTER’S ORCHESTRA in white lettering. RCA Printed in U.S.A. in lower right corner. RCA VICTOR box in grey and HIS MASTER’S VOICE box in black. A “NEW ORTHOPHONIC” HIGH FIDELITY RECORDING” in all caps. The ad back has “Like Mood Music? Hear these!” printed in the yellow.

This record sold 1000 times fewer than Elvis Presley’s EPA-992. Assuming that at the time of these numbers that EPA-992 sold 1,000,000 copies, then only 1000 copies sold of this EP. However, according to a December 8, 1956 edition of Billboard Magazine on page 40, “over 500,000 sold in only one month…”, this making the EPA-689 even rarer at only 500 copies. In any case, this is a MEGA RARE extended play. It is not even listed in a recent Osborne Cyberguide.

There are a couple of differences between the EPA-689 regular retail issue front cover and that of the promotional issue of RCA Victor EPA-992 /EPA-689 Elvis / Jaye P. Morgan (EP) cover.

1. This is a closeup of part of the promotional cover. The RCA Victor box does not touch the head of Jaye P. Morgan. A “New Orthophonic” High Fidelity Recording is not in all caps.

2. This is a closeup of part of the original retail cover. The RCA Victor box touches the head of Jaye P. Morgan. A “NEW ORTHOPHONIC” HIGH FIDELITY RECORDING” is in all caps.

3. This is an overlap of the retail and promotional covers. This overlay illustrates the spacing differences between the retail and promotional releases of this release.
