SHP-5436 Girl Happy |
|
|
|
Probably the most beautiful of all Elvis covers in the world. This is the original RCA Victor black label release from March 20th, 1965. It was later re-released with the new RCA
logo and a orange label. Plain white backside with japanese liner notes only. The album has a light-blue LP sized sheet with song lyrics. Beware of white label test pressings. These so called test pressings were all
faked and I haven’t seen any original yet, even though they might indeed exist.
Value: 200 - 250 US$ |
