Elvis Now-1972-Sleeve Error

Postby djc45 » Tue Oct 27, 2020 7:13 pm

Hi,
I wonder if anyone knows anything about a sleeve printing error on the 1972 pressing of 'Elvis Now'. I`m trying to work out if the record I just picked up is particularly rare or not.

Elvis Now is an album I've never had on vinyl from back in the day and spotted it in a used record store last weekend. When I opened it today, after leaving it to sit for a few days, I noticed that the sleeve listing and the track on the record don't match. On side one Hey Jude and Miracle of the Rosary are swapped round on the back of the sleeve, but are in the correct order on the record itself. It is on the orange label and is number LSP-4671 (APRS-2007).

I`ve attached photos showing the sleeve and the label, apologies for the poor camera on my tablet. The sleeve has some disc wear, and there are some scribbles on the back sleeve. I`m just wondering if there were loads of these released with this error, or if it might be more valuable because of the error. Does anyone know any story about the error. I couldn't see anything on a quick Google search.

I appreciate any advice anyone can give me.

I don't have mine anymore, long gone, but it is on eBay and the track order is correct on the sleeve and the label.

Let's hope someone on here can answer your question.

Are you speaking of a U.S. pressing or something from another country?

That's a US pressing and not something I'm clued up on.
Cool info though, thanks for pointing it out.... I learn something everyday.

The sleeve error seems to be quite rare.

Not mentioned in the discographies.

Ed,
I'm in Scotland, so I guess it will be a UK pressing.

I can't read what's below the "dynaflex" brand in the first photo of this thread. Maybe the country of origin is specified there.

Also, both label photos in this thread have the composers' complete names, except for McCartney.

It says a few things, including Made In USA.

Thanks, John. Your eyes are better than mine. I have made the image bigger and clearer, but I can't read a thing.

I hope wwe will see this thread.
