Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires - Don’t 7” Double Sided UK Acetate

On the other side is:

The Four Esquires - Can’t Help Falling In Love

This is an incredibly rare item and if not unique there can only be one or two other copies in existence. This is pretty much an unknown entity however it looks to me like a late 1950s/1960s acetate and was found in a collection of other rare demos and white labels from the same era.

Although not meant for repeated use, this acetate does play OK at about Good it has cyclical background ‘hiss’ rather than crackle which I think is its age and the nature of the surface material not the condition. Visually its about VG both sides and as you can see still retains much of its lustre. Still acceptable to listen to but more academic with this item. I have given it a gentle clean and one careful play. What you are bidding on here is not so much a record but part of the record industry process before production so its important to consider this more like an artefact in the same way as a metal stamper. It also needs to be carefully handled as it is not vinyl but lacquer on metal, as collectors of acetates will know. So please be aware this is not a great copy for listening to the actual track, its an artefact - certainly not for the audiophile

It has survived in miraculous condition with no chips or deep marks or warps. The text is handwritten, presumably in the factory.

Plain old white sleeve, this was the one it came in!

Very very rare! Good luck and thanks for bidding on this probably unique Elvis item!
