A compilation album release of Elvis Presley's music from 1954 through to 1976, just prior to his passing.
The 'theme' is blue, every song has 'blue' in the title, the graphics are blue and the vinyl itself is blue!
But wait there's more!
Inside the cover is a LARGE poster of Elvis, along with a calender for 1984! Wow!

Starcall Records
Cat# SPR 401
1983
Australian release
Gatefold cover is in very good condition, no split seams, no tears, no writing. Inside the gatefold has one panel of praises to Elvis from various music industry heavyweights and the other panel gives more insight into each song, the story behind it. The rear of the cover lists the dates that each song was released. Large poster is included, I mean large! Measures 585mm wide x 870mm high, six fold out panels. The panel seams are NOT damaged. Below the portrait of Elvis is a complete chronological listing of the events in his life from 1935 until his passing in 1977.
Below this is the 1984 calender. The poster is in very good condition, never been hung on the wall.
New inner protective sleeve
Vinyl is in good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and although it is pretty tough to see surface damage because of the bright blue vinyl, I could see nothing that stood out. In any case I then played the release ENTIRELY, both sides, and there are no significant issues with surface noise or click/pops with any track.
