May 28, 2025 Records of the day

 

 

When it comes to value, nothing says “cash” like the king. In 1961, RCA released the Elvis single,“His Latest Flame” with “Little Sister” on the flip side. The 7 inch 45 is worth no more than $20.00. Add up to another $40.00 for the picture sleeve. However, RCA also released the record as a 7 inch 33 (same size as a 45 but playing at the speed of an album.) That version can now sell for $5,000.00. Add another $5,000.00 for the picture sleeve. All versions are shown here. Note the difference in the picture sleeves in the upper right corners, one indicating a 45, the other, below, a 33.
