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.
Two distinct differences can be seen between the retail front cover (EPA-689) and the promotional front cover (RCA Victor EPA-992/EPA-689) of the Elvis / Jaye P. Morgan EP.
1. Promotional cover close-up: The RCA Victor box does not touch Jaye P. Morgan’s head, and “New Orthophonic High Fidelity Recording” appears in mixed case, not all caps.
2. Retail cover close-up: The RCA Victor box touches Jaye P. Morgan’s head, and “NEW ORTHOPHONIC HIGH FIDELITY RECORDING” is printed in all caps.
3. Overlay comparison: The superimposed retail and promotional covers highlight clear spacing differences between the two versions.
Disc: Black label, dog on top.
