Catalog Number: Elvis and the Colonel
Condition Of Item: Envelope VG /Record M
Year of Issue: 12/76
A Closer Look: In August of 1976 Elvis contract with the Hilton expired. The Colonel decided as part of the re-negotiation with the Hilton and a possible new showroom that Elvis and his show would appear at the Hilton in December of 1976, however, the Colonel would rent the Hilton showroom instead of the Hilton sponsoring the engagement. Because of this the usual Hilton array of souvenirs was not present, however, always a carny the Colonel created a special packet to be given to VIP s attending the shows that was created by the Colonel. It included a 12 by 12 envelope that stated SEASON GREETINGS, COMPLEMENTS OF ELVIS AND THE COLONEL on the front and the back was blank. Inside this special envelope was the Pickwick album, Elvis Christmas Album , however the Colonel had RCA press a only enough albums for this engagement, and instead of the back cover being black and white, this one was done in green and white. It was inserted into the envelope and now all these years later stands as one of the hardest to find of any Elvis Vegas memorabilia. Many are not even aware it exists. This one is crazy hard to find, so don t pass up this extremely rare opportunity to own a real piece of history. Fair starting bid established because of the sheer rarity of this amazing piece

Rating Guide:
Mint M : Perfect in every way, looks to have never been played, should have that look just as it did when you pulled the record from the new cover at the time of original purchase.
Mint Minus M- : A nearly perfect record and cover. This item should show no readily visible signs of wear, covers and sleeves should have no more than nearly invisible rings or other signs of slight wear and vinyl should still be completely glossy and shiney, just the very lightest hint of wear if it is tilted to very bright light.
Very Good Plus VG : This record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled carefully by the previous owner. Record surfaces will show some light signs of paper scuffing or light scratches, that don t affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect sound are OK. This disc should still contain much of its original luster and sheen. The covers and picture sleeves should also be in very nice shape, they may have light ring wear or other signs of wear, may have a small cut out hole, indention or stamping present. Also there can be non obvious writing on the paper goods.
Very Good VG : Many of the defects found in the VG record and cover will be present but more pronounced in the VG item. Surface noise will be evident, although the record should play through without skipping or repeating. Groove wear will now be noticable, scuffing and light scratching will be appearent, a scratch now can be felt with a fingernail. Labels will be marred with tape or tape residue, stickers or descret writing. The same will be true for the LP cover or picture sleeve.
Good G : Good does not mean bad A record in good condition should be placed on a turntable and it should play through, all though the surface noise will be evident. A cover or picture sleeve will have seam splitting, especially on the bottom seam or spine. Also there will be noticable ring wear caused by the presence of the record. The defects will start to overwhere this item.
Fair F or Poor P : This record will be cracked, badly warped, and will not play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeeve or LP cover will show lots and lots of wear, the seams will be split on all three sides barely able to hold the record. This item will appear near valueless, unless of course it is a rarity that may not be seen again.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
