Elvis Presley ORIG OZ 1st Press LP Blue Hawaii VG+ 61 Living Stereo RCA SL101174 Elvis Presley Blue Hawaii

Original 1st Press OZ LP released in 1961 on the Black & Silver RCA label with Living Stereo at bottom. Cat: SL101174. Cover has living stereo on top front right.

Elvis' theatrical ouevre found him portraying singing busboys, singing prizefighters, even a singing doctor in love with a nun, all of which makes his role as the heir to a pineapple fortune in "Blue Hawaii" sound positively prosaic. But Elvis and Hawaii were made for each other like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and "Blue Hawaii" became one of his most successful movies. The soundtrack was the No.1 record in the U.S. for an astonishing 20 weeks, making it Elvis' most commercially successful LP, and one of the most successful LPs of all time.
