LSP-2697 It Happened At The World’s Fair (Reference Material)

Posted on April 8, 2010 by admin

Modified: June 21, 2011

The purpose of this article is to keep the reference guide clean and managable. There is alot of additional and pertinant information that was felt deserving of it’s own reference.

Black label, RCA logo is white, other label print is silver. Flat label. (1964)
This elusive label has gone undiscovered until June 21, 2011, when it was brought to my attention from a collector whom would like to remain anonymous. It is identical to the mega rare Black label, RCA logo is white, other label print is silver, however, it is not rigid, but flat. A label that is more consistant to the orange labels of 1968-1970. I have identified this label as 1964, since that was the year of introduction. This particular copy would more likely to have been pressed in 1968 around the time of transition to the newer orange label.

eBay Auction

The seller is unaware of what is being offered and only describes this as:

ELVIS PRESLEY LSP-2697 *IT HAPPENED AT THE WORLD’S FAIR* RECORD ALBUM. ANY BRIGHT WHITE SPOTS ARE FROM THE FLASH OF THE CAMERA AND ARE NOT ON THE VINYL.

Orange Label (1968)
The reference images below are what was used to painstakingly create the mockup images provided in LSP-2697 It Happened At The World's Fair. These images are as close to the originals as possible, you be the judge.

This inexplicable rarity was hidden away for 40 years and was not known to exist until this discovery. These are the images of the actual non-flexible orange label release that was auctioned on eBay on March 1, 2008.

eBay Auction

Here is one for the ultimate Elvis collection, MEGA RARE, never identified in any price guide before, not known to exist! I was stunned when I picked this up in a collection a few weeks ago, I have always looked for the rigid vinyl orange label and simply like other collectors believed it did not exist! Well here it is!! This cover is the same cover that was used in earlier variations and it is in very nice shape, does have some light edge wear, but very nice look and feel to it. The record is the value here and it is stunning, just mint in every way, the labels are stunning, the vinyl looks to have never been played. If you want to own something that very few if any collections have, THIS IS IT! I don’t know if we will see another, but the RIGID VINYL ORANGE LABEL “It Happened at the World’s Fair” US release does exist!

Madison Square Garden Tour Photo Book

Posted on March 31, 2010 by admin

Modified: August 25, 2010

This Tour Photo Album is the rarest of all tour books. It was only available for sale at Elvis’ Saturday matinee performance at New York’s Madison Square Garden.¹ However, other documentation supports that although this tour book may be rare, it was available at more venues, like Las Vegas, NV², Greensboro, NC.³, or the April 18, 1972 San Antonio Show⁴ This is the entire tour book.

It is interesting to note, that I pulled this copy of the Tour Photo Album from an incorrectly stored in the “Elvis – Greatest Hits, Volume One” album AHL1-2347.

Copies with matrix numbers G2WP-7208-15S, G2WP-7208-16S (Canadian pressing), G2WP-7208-17S, or G2WP-7208-19S stamped on Side 2 (Side 1 doesn’t matter) are likely candidates to contain the alternate take of Old Shep which contain an added word in two different phrases. Words in upper case are added in the alternative take: “As the years fast did roll, Old Shep he grew old AND his eyes were fast growing dim.” and “He came to my side and he looked up at me, and HE laid his old head on my knee.”

This alternate take was identified in 1980 from the “Eternal Elvis” and “Rockin’ Rebel Vol. 3” bootleg albums, which was believed to have been taken from the HMV album “Elvis Presley No. 2” from England.³⁶ This is interesting because it took even longer, over 25 years from the first release of this album, to determine that this song variation existed on a U.S. release.

This is the original printed in the U.S.A. release for the U.S. Armed Forces stationed in Germany that was distributed in 1956 (?) and 1957. The cover and the record label read Printed in U.S.A. In the trail-off area of the record Manufactured in Germany is machine stamped. The cover reads LPM-1382 on both sides. The record label reads LPM-1382. It has the PX stamp on the back cover. The cover is slippery and shiny on both sides.³⁷

Cover Front: RCA Victor logo and number at upper right.³⁸
Cover Back: Text only no pictures. Song titles aligned right. Centered. May (“should”) have a U.S. military PX stamp on back of the cover.

Disc: (1956) Black label, All print on label is silver. MADE IN U.S.A. on label edge.³⁸
