Elvis Presley: Presleyana IV - The Elvis Presley Record Price Guide

Jerry Osborne, Paperback, 21x27 cm, 342 pages, b/w label & cover pics

INTRODUCTION
Hello T-r-o-u-b-l-e
Roughly one year before the pages of this book were due at the printer, we knew we were in trouble. Due to some bizarre scheduling on the part of three different publishers, we committed to produce nine — yes, nine — books in one year, from July 1996 to August '97. Presleyana is one of the titles caught up in that conglomeration. Fortunately, knowing so many Elvis dealers, it was also one of the two books we could get some editing help with. (Movie/TV Soundtracks & Original Casts being the other.) Having a good knowledge of recent sales and current trends were requirements, not to mention being willing and able to devote several months to the project. When discussing the task with Bob and Carbl Alaniz, of Soundz Good Records, it became clear we found a match.

Bob, along with a separate team of advisors he recruited, began by wading through the existing data base, updating prices and adding listings as needed. He also poured through all of the mail from readers, making corrections and absorbing suggestions. When Bob and Co. finished phase one, the files were returned to us in Washington for further fine-tuning and all the finishing touches. Without the help of Bob and Carol, and friends, it is doubtful this guide could have been completed in time for the 20th Anniversary events and the annual August extravaganza in Memphis: International Elvis Tribute Week. But they TCB'ed —they took care of business. Thanks for a job well done.

For those who may have missed the previous edition of this guide, Presleyana Ill, it was there that we introduced the two most consequential modifications in Elvis price guide history: separate pricing for all the pieces that make up a "package," and precise individual identification of pressings. By way of review: There may be 30 or so different pressings made of an album during a period with only three different label designs in use. Our introduction of separate identification of the minor as well as the major variations enables one to accurately match a disc and its appropriate, or original, cover — along with any germane insert, inner sleeve, bonus, or sticker. Lacking this information, one could not easily distinguish whether a cover for a black label dog on top Blue Hawaii is really one from 1961, or one that came with a 1973 orange label reissue. Despite the extensive research involved in preparing the information for Presleyana III, and the many additions and corrections made since that book came out (in 1992), there are still some releases that have yet to be validated. Each of these mavericks is marked "Verification Pending." Any input as to what makes these covers different from previous ones would be appreciated and will be incorporated in future editions. One of the most revealing aspects of cover appraising occurs when the exact same jacket is used on later issues. Whether RCA

reprinted from earlier cover slick artwork, or simply continued using covers from an earlier printing, the effect still creates a lower price on the original printing than usual. To indicate this anomaly, something along the lines of: "Price reflects RCA's continued use of this same cover, with no discernible differences" will appear. This should make it possible for you to know whether a cover for a late '60s issue is identical to ones used in the early '60s, or if an early '60s disc is in fact in a late '60s cover. As with every new Presley guide we do, label and cover descriptions have once again been expanded. To merely identify a cover as having the catalog number at the upper right, or lower left, as in earlier guides, doesn't begin to adequately describe and differentiate cover variations. As to the separate pricing for each part, the feedback we have received is that, while it takes some getting used to, it is truly the only sensible approach — especially when it comes to Elvis Presley collectibles. Only then can the difference between packages where the bulk of the value is in the cover, such as the Chicken of the Sea Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite or International Hotel box sets, be sorted out from those where the greater value is in the disc, such as Elvis (LPM-I382) with the alternate take of Old Shep. Separate pricing appears in all three sections of the guide, although only in the EP and LP chapters are grand totals given for complete packages. Adding up all of the parts of a package for you will eliminate your having to total the appropriate numbers.

Do not, however, automatically use the total package price if any of the significant parts are missing. For singles, where the individual parts are pretty much limited to a disc and a picture sleeve, the totals are quite easy to figure. Whenever possible, we provide recording serial numbers. Having these serial — or identification — numbers in hand, it is not necessary to play the record to know if it is the 35 rpm single of He Touched Me, or It's Now Or Never without the piano track, or Elvis: A Legendary Performer, Vol. 2 without the false starts and outtakes. Each of these oddities has a take number unique unto itself. RCA's production procedure becomes clearer all the time and makes it easier for us to understand how many of their manufacturing errors came to be, as well as why so many corrections are found on their stampings. New in this edition is a supplement to our record manufacturing chapter. By William Brown, this essay digs even deeper into RCA's pressing plants, label makers, and identification coding.

How the Prices Are Determined
Apart from the information supplied by this edition's editor, Bob Alaniz, many of the world's most active dealers and collectors of Presleyana also reviewed the listings, making corrections to existing data, adding new material, and, of course updating prices...

Die geschätzte Zahl weltweit verkaufter Presley-Tonträger variiert: Es dürften annähernd zwei Milliarden sein. Vom 1. 10. 1958 (Ankunft mit der USS Randall in Bremerhaven) bis 2. 3. 1960 (Rückflug ab Rhein-Main in Frankfurt) war Elvis Presley im hessischen Friedberg stationiert. Hier hatte er am 14. 9. 1959 die 14jährige Priscilla Beaulieu kennengelernt, die er am 1. 5. 1967 heiratete (Scheidung 1973). Auf der Single 'Wooden Heart' von 1960 streute Elvis Presley deutsche Text-Passagen ( - 'Muß i denn, muß i denn zum Städtele hinaus' usw.) ein.
