Offered are three 1956 RCA Victor "NOT FOR SALE" 45 RPM EPs with Elvis Presley's hit song "Love Me Tender". The first is catalog number 47-6643, and includes "Love Me Tender" and "Anyway You Want Me" on one side and Jean Chapel's "Welcome to the Club" and "I Won't Be Rockin' Tonight". Chapel had recorded her tracks at Sun Records before bringing them to RCA after Elvis hit. The other EP contains four songs that include an instrumental version of "Love Me Tender" by Henri Rene and His Orchestra and Chorus. These are two very early "NOT FOR SALE" records. The Elvis EP shows moderate wear, VG condition. The other record is cleaner, EX condition.
The third is an early, lesser-seen RCA Victor 45 RPM White Label “NOT FOR SALE” EP for Elvis Presley's 1957 single “Too Much” / “Playing for Keeps”. The EP contains four songs, two on each side, with Dinah Shore taking up Side 2. Presley recorded the song in September 1956, released the song on January 4, 1957, and then performed it on January 6, 1957 on CBS-TV's The Ed Sullivan Show. The single reached number one on both the Cashbox and Billboard sales charts and went to number three on the R&B chart. The vinyl grades VG, with some minor flaws and some writing on the labels.
These white label copies of RCA singles would have been produced in relatively small quantities for distribution to radio stations and music media members. The vinyl itself is clean with a few scuffs and a couple of scratches. Two have writing on the labels. VG+ condition overall—very clean vinyl.
