- In the last of three Elvis "Grail" item videos, we look at a very rare variant of a live album, a hard-to-find overseas copy of a popular soundtrack album and a very early CD box set.

I like the label on the In Concert. The light is better in that room and a "more-Japanese" background is fitting. You could appear dressed as the Shogun next 😄
My father-in-law's WWII NCO katana is around here somewhere. I could get that out and swing it about a bit.
Love the room my friend thank you for another nice video ❤
Thanks. I'm hoping to go over and do some more videos there.
Hi David,great video. I love the room,It would make a lovely Elvis room too! Some nice finds. At the moment you have have big pockets if you collect Elvis. Good collecting stay safe. Ellie. 🎼🎶🎵🕺🏻❤️😃👍⚡️
Hi, Ellie. To me, those old Japanese rooms look best uncluttered. They do, however, have a rail along one wall where you can hang frames. Next time, I might switch angles and hang a poster or something behind me. 😅 Thanks for watching!
Very nice my friend and nice room
Thanks, Curtis.
Very cool looking vinyls, David ⚡️⚡️☕️
Thanks a lot.
It looks like your in the movie Walk don't Run, with Cary Grant. Love that lable WOW.
😅 It was a very typical Japanese room design until fairly recently. Many modern Japanese homes, seen from the inside, could be in a foreign country.
Nice room 👍 always cool to see different variants of Elvis’ records. Can’t believe the price of that Legend box set back in the day..
I think it's just about held its value as well. Thanks for watching.
Hello David nice room and good video.. Tcb ❤
Thanks, Harold!
Every day is a school day David. Never seen that Elvis In Concert label before. Looks great! The CD set looks in amazing condition too! Room looks cool, but so did your usual room, so either way the videos look great. Was nice to catch up again this morning….
Thanks, Adam. Talk to you soon.
Nice ‘grails!’ I particularly like the Fun In Acapulco lp! Very different cover! 😊
I like your new background!
Cheers, Mark!
Hi David
The room is nice but the light from your video is much better! I“ve searched the bootleg book for some years and could finally a beautiful copy for a payable price. Also a good copy of the debut album from 1956 and the Japanese LP-Box Set „The single collection“ from the late 80‘s. But the hardest to find pieces ever was some FTD books as „Summer of 61“, „Madison Square Garden“ or „Fashion For A King“…. Great videos you made! Have a beautiful Sunday and until the next time! 😊👍🏼
I'm still looking for the Bootleg book. I have the old Jailhouse Rock book but it's very old now. Many of those FTD books never make it to Japan. Thanks for watching and letting me know about the lighting.
Hi David. Great video my friend
Thanks a lot, Nigel.
Like the new room think the lighting is much better. Love the picture label on the ELVIS IN CONCERT album didn't know it even existed wow. And the black album cover of the ELVIS soundtrack FUN IN ACAPULCO never seen it either.
Thanks for letting me know about the lighting. Much appreciated.
Hi Dave ,great video some great items there ,av a copy of the legend CDs the box I have is a bit more rubbed on the edges than the one you showed ,but it’s intact n the CDs and cases are in good order ,yours having the OBI is really nice,I’ve just acquired a copy of the album RCA done when opening the Washington plant,Tyne and wear in 1970 ,the various artists album with one EL track ,it was given to the staff at the opening ceremony,it’s rumoured 200 copies were pressed av been after a copy for years and finally managed to get one ,a had to pay £100 for it which a thought was pricy but a wanted it bad ,love the room ,very Japanese ,do Japanese houses differ much from the UK av often wondered ,great video Dave ,take care ,tony 🎼🎹🎸🎶
Hi, Tony. I've never seen that Washington album. I know it's very rare, though. Nice find.
Older Japanese homes are noticeably different to western ones, as they usually have at least one room with rectangular straw mats on the floor as well as the sliding doors with wood and paper. Modern homes are much more like western homes, though, although usually smaller. Almost all houses are detached. There are almost no semis and no terraced houses here. Most homes don't have central heating either, unless you go up to Hokkaido. There's no need for it. An aircon will do. One interesting difference is you can't buy a house, unless you have a parking space. No parking on the street here. The roads are just too narrow.
Cheers, Tony.
Great room ,I have the Elvis in concert album with the "normal"blue label 😉 as always ,great video ,take care👍
That's right, I saw it in one of your recent videos. Thanks, David
Nice change in the room. I kept thinking of the second Karate kid movie, it looks like Mr. Myagis dojo, 😅
Love the label on the in concert album.
Nice video David.
😅 Others have said it reminds them of movies and such. When I see rooms like that on screen, I think of the smell. They have a certain smell that comes from the straw mats on the floor. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice smell, but very distinctive.
Love all 3 of those! I just picked up a 1997 pressing of Elvis in concert from Uruguay, it's unique in the respect that it only has the first disc included. Lighting looks great by the way.
Interesting. Never seen that one. Does the cover only list the songs that appeared on the first disc?
@@ElvisPresleyInJapan Yes, the cover is not a gatefold, the back cover has same photo in black & white, the front cover photo is the same but the quality almost makes it look like colorized black & white. Based on the quality of the "sleeve" (it is not sealed on top and bottom) had me suspecting it may be a bootleg, but the label looks legit. It is listed in discogs.
Very nice 部屋👌🏻 love traditional interiors. And congrats on your grials! Looking great the EIC 😍 and very interesting items the other two (wow at the date and original price of the CD comp!) Time to enjoy them 😊
I love to have some old records of the time when the album was released (some LP and singles) They were not expensive and are not the most valuable things that I have but I get a thrill just holding, cleaning and spinning them! They have me thinking on the fan that maybe bought it and was happy listening and dancing, on Elvis being then and there too...
Today for example, I got an 57 US Jailhouse Rock 7" single and I was in awe at how strong it rocked, sound sooo good! I was beaming and got me moving. Have Jailhouse rock in 58 UK EP, in modern LP, compilations...,but this is how it was meant to sound, I think. Luv it ❤
And with it came a geek surprise also... searching for the pressing info on the runouts in this one I got to know something curious that I didn't before...it has an anvil symbol. I learned that is a Scranton pressing identification. Scranton, PA, was a pressing plant for Capitol Records and they used this symbol from 1949 to 63 although they operated until 73 (with another symbol). They went on a strike in 59 so Capitol pressed records using other companies (like RCA) plants in that period.
But this is the other way around, this Elvis 45 is a RCA Victor's pressed in Capitol's Scranton plant in 57... and I don't know why. And it appears that US 57 pressings of that 7" single were Rockaway, Indianapolis, Scranton and Hollywood. Maybe RCA needed a hand in order to cover the high demand? Is it an indicative of the huge hit this record was?
Sorry the long comment 😅 and many thanks for the video ⚡
If you like old records with a history, you'll enjoy the Cheap Beat-Up Elvis Vinyl channel. He collects well-loved records and has a great sense of humour.
Your copy of Jailhouse Rock, I would guess, was a consignment pressing that was done to, as you suggest, keep up with demand. I don't think I've ever seen any such pressings from the US.
If you ever come across an early British pressing of Elvis' Golden Records (RB-16069, any version), you might like that - it really rocks. Great version of that album with some different songs to the US version too. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the recomendation on the CZcams Channel 😊 I will check it out!
I'm with you on the consignment pressing for the Jailhouse rock 45. I'm curious about those things, that little square symbol on the runouts made me learn lil' history and more on pressing vinyls stuff, as I'm no expert.
And appreciate very much your tip on the early UK of Golden Records! Well, now I'm going to look out for that 🤓
Thank you very much!⚡
thanks for sharing. Nice pressing of in concert. Personally looking for the ukelele obi for blue hawaii. Had only seen it once and never again sadly. Take care
I've only seen it once. Probably we were both looking at the same one online for months before it sold.
Terrific video as always and do like the room. Nice Japanese feel. Not quite a holy grail but on my recent US trip I found the CD soundtrack to the gospel documentary He Touched Me. Never seen it for sale before and it was only 3 dollars. Win win! Thanks mate.
I never knew there was a CD soundtrack to the gospel documentary. Great when you find stuff you never knew about. Cheers, Grant.
looks like a very calming room. No real Elvis lps finds. only getting soundtracks. I got the Elvis in Concert that has the black obi included I think as I know the Moody Blue album did.😊Like these holy grails find only in Japan
Interesting. I don't think I've seen EIC with the second black obi. Apart from Moody Blue, I've seen it on Welcome to My World, Rock 'n' Roll Album and maybe one or two others.
Miss your Elvis items in the background
What, didn't you see the copy of Golden Celebration I placed above the closet? 😅
Great video David, thanks for sharing 👍🏻 I like the room, brings back memories of playing Shenmue on the Sega Dreamcast in the early 2000s! Funnily enough, I've just got back from a record fair where I picked up a bunch of Japanese vinyl and the dealer had a copy of Elvis In Concert with that same obi, but I didn't look at the label, so I may have missed out on a rarity I guess. Anyway, should be uploading a video sharing my finds in a couple of hours. Be really interested to know how I did 😊
I envy you going to a record fair. Nothing like that where I live. Looking forward to seeing what you found.
For a long time I was trying to complete the Canadian gold vinyl set of Elvis’ Golden Records. I bought volume 3 in Wales in 1981, volume 1 in Budapest in 2003, volume 4 in Paris in 2006.. and finally, volume 2 in Wouw, Netherlands, in 2022. That was a long journey and a long wait! Of course, vols. 1 and 2 sound atrocious, but 3 and 4 sound very nice indeed.
All four volumes came up for auction in Japan a few years ago as part of a huge collection. I passed on them because there were other items I bought from that collection. I've since got Volume 1. Nice set of albums. I think the Legendary Performer series was released that way in Canada too.
@@ElvisPresleyInJapan Canadian Tribute was gold. It’s common. I see it now and then.
Hi DAVID my dear friend...ohhh you got the Israeli black picture sleeve of FUN IN ACAPULCO 😊❤ glad you got this one 😀 its late 1973 or 1974 as its not laminated, last Israeli Laminated LP was ELVIS ( FOOL ALBUM) , CHEERS , YOUR FRIEND : LIOR
Im still looking the Japanese orange label of Double Trouble and Clambake 😊
Hey, Lior. I'm glad you saw this one. Thanks for letting me know the date. There's so little info out there on Israeli releases.
DT and Clambake are tough to find on Japanese orange RCA labels. Cheers.
@@ElvisPresleyInJapan Youre most welcome , you right there was never officially documented or books about Elvis releases , we all know from sources in real time ,first israeli pressings of Elvis started around late 1963 and early 1964 , all LPs were Laminated until 1973 ( last one Fool LP ) after this Raised on Rock is not laminted ....all EP were laminated also and '45 singles released between 1964-1974 , all '64,'65,'66 were only paper Logo RCA sleeves, then from 1969 they released in picture sleeves ( like in the UK ) , no singles from 1967-1968 unfortunately...
Very cool acquisitions, especially the “EIC” and Israeli LP!⚡️
I couldn't believe my luck finding the Israeli Fun in Acapulco LP in Japan.
@@ElvisPresleyInJapan No doubt!!!
I perhaps wouldn’t say it’s a holy grail item, but I was pretty pleased to get the red vinyl Valentine Gift for You, recently. It’s another example of an 80s album which sounds good, but I really wanted it because my friend had it when we were in our late teens. He was already working, so he could afford more records than me. I didn’t so much envy it then, (there seemed to be a new compilation every week in those days) but I’ve grown more interested in the 80s Albums and pressings over the years and get every one I can. Thankfully they are usually priced from 7 to 15 euros. Valentine Gift was a bit more, at 20 euro.
I hear the black vinyl pressing of that album is hard to find. All copies of that album were black in Japan because they hardly ever made coloured vinyl pressings here.
@@ElvisPresleyInJapan Surprising news. Last year I picked up a dark red vinyl Japanese Cliff album from 1966 while in Athens.
@@elvisonwax I guess it was made by Toshiba on the Capitol label. I have a few Beatles and Sinatra records that are the same.
@@ElvisPresleyInJapan Goad to hear about your Sinatra records. What are they? We have about a 100 though nothing mind blowing - some decent UK and US originals on Capital and Reprise and the 80s reissues. Always on the lookout for those. I only recently discovered that there is a tiny bar here in Amsterdam entirely dedicated to FS. The owner saw him many times.
@@elvisonwax They are Songs for Swinging Lovers, In the Wee Small Hours, No One Cares, Where Are You?, Come Dance with Me, Point of No Return and Sinatra Sings of Love and Things. I think they're all red vinyl.
Nice Vid as always David . The Elvis In Concert I don't believe is Rare . I have two of them with those labels . I'm sure PL was as usual making up info to fit a narrative for a hopeful sale . Not sure if it ever sold . I do know it was up for years .
Sounds very much like PL.
I recently sold that Elvis In Concert from Japan for $100 recently. 😊
Hi, Robert. It might be a while before you get another one, but you could bump up the price next time. $100 is a good price, especially outside Japan.
Hi David, interesting video, and the room looks great! cheers my friend!
Thanks for that, Mal. Cheers.
Fun video and Fun Room 👍
Thanks, Ken.
Good morning, what about the silver ‘The Legend’ cd box? Does that exist in Japan?
Greetings from Belgium, J-P
I've only seen one silver copy of The Legend in Japan and it didn't come with an obi, but you never know; it may have come with one. Thanks for watching!
Hi Dave, i saw the album His hand in mine with japanese lyrics on the front cover?
Is it rare?
Greets Edward from Holland
Hi, Edward. I don't think there are any versions with lyrics on the front cover, but there are a few versions with them on the back.
Hi Dave, thanks for your informatie...
I mean i saw the title 'His hand in mine' in japanese..and i think he asked 80 euro's or Something.
I cant find it on Google.
I think its rare
Greets from Edward
I see what you mean. The 1960s mono and stereo pressings had the title in very small Japanese characters on the front. Not worth 80 euros unless it's mint.
@@ElvisPresleyInJapan okay Dave, thanks for your information.
I enjoy your video's a lot...!
