November 24, 2024 Record of the Day

For 9 weeks at the beginning of the 1960’s, Percy Faith’s “Them From a Summer Place” was on top the Billboard Hot 100 and it would take a king to dethrone it. The king was Elvis who had his first #1 hit after his U.S. army stint with “Stuck On You.” Released on RCA in 1960, the mono version is worth up to $20.00 while the stereo version can sell for $800.00 today. It is the first 45 released  with a mono version and a stereo version.(All versions of all records are described in detail in Mighty John’s “Record Appraisal Guide,” available in the left hand column.)
