Elvis Presley: "Potluck"

This was Elvis' fifteenth LP, released in June 1962.

Released in the midst of his burgeoning film career, this LP did not receive as much attention at first at it might have otherwise.

In spite of the not-so-great condition of the jacket, this LP ended up with a fan in Texas.

Elvis Presley: "Blue Hawaii"

Warning: picture of well-loved album's well-loved cover:


"Blue Hawaii" is Elvis' best selling LP - triple platinum. I still find myself humming several of the tunes from this LP. Who can resist "Can't Help Falling in Love"?

This LP went to a deserving fan in West Virginia.

Elvis Presley: "Spinout"

Another of Elvis' many movie soundtracks. Fun, light rock-n-roll.

Released in 1966. Get a load of the price!

When you zoom in (by clicking on the pic) you can see that each of the LP tracks is matched to a promo shot from the film.

A fan in Florida snagged this one.

Elvis Presley: "Girl Happy"

One of Elvis' many "soundtrack" recordings from the hugely popular feature films he starred in fifty years ago.... or more.

To tell the truth I was a bit young when these LPs and their corresponding films were first released. I saw the movies on black and white television in my pre-adolescent years, and I had three older sisters who certainly dug everything about Elvis. I came across these LPs much later and added them to my collection more or less for the fun of it. If Elvis is anything, he is light-hearted and fun - at least in these movies.



So, this particular LP ended up with a collector in Canada, and watching the online auction for it was quite rewarding, indeed.
