From 1967 comes this original white label promo pressing of Elvis Presley's final EP, "Easy Come, Easy Go" (RCA Victor EPA-4387). By this late date, the EP was long past its sell-by date as a format, and Elvis' career was at its lowest ebb commercially, as this was still over a year before his historic 1968 comeback. As a result, this EP sold a measly (at least for Elvis' standards) 30,000 copies in the marketplace and slipped out-of-print without too many people noticing. Imagine how few white label promos were pressed up . . . The hard cardboard picture sleeve is in excellent condition with no seam splits, creases, dogears, or ringwear. Just beautiful. The disc is also near mint, with just the slightest sleeve scuffing. Plays great.
This copy also has the error on the label of side one, where Hal Wallis' name is misspelled as Hall Wallis. This error was later corrected for the regular release. A beautiful original copy and so rare.
