***This Vinyl LP is one of the very first issued after the screening of Presleys 1968 TV Special on December 3rd 1968.I know because the item was purchased by me.

***At that time [December 1968] the album was issued in the U.S.A but not in Britain.A record shop in Berwick Street,London W1 brought in imports from the U.S.A and in December of that year I went to London to collect this gem.

***After almost 50 years it has worn reasonably well.The cover has survived quite well but I did do a nasty and joined a seam with Sticky tape [which I could shoot myself for ] but considering some of the disasters I did at that time its not too bad.

***The Vinyl LP is scratch free and nice and clean.The live sections of the show were recorded in Mono but the Production numbers are all in Stereo.

***The inner cover although split on the edges is of great interest as it is advertising Presley Stereo 8 Catridges which never caught on with the public and died out as the music cassette came in.Had I had the knowledge to have bought them then they would have commanded a small fortune today.

***Songs on LP as follows 

Trouble/Guitar Man----Lawdy Miss Clawdy/Baby What You want Me to do-----Heartbreak Hotel/Hound Dog/All Shook Up---Can't help falling in Love---Jailhouse Rock---Love Me Tender---Where could I go but to the Lord/Up above My Head/Saved----Blue Christmas----One Night---Memories---Nothingville/Big Boss Man/Guitar Man/Little Egypt/Trouble/Guitar Man-----If I Can Dream
