Elvis: The King's Realm Discussion Forum

rockinrebel wrote: September 13th, 2025, 8:08 am According to the original edition of Elvis UK initial copies of the UK album, The 56 Sessions Volume One came with a poster featuring the cover image.

I don't recall seeing this (my copy didn't include one) and this isn't confirmed in Paul Alner's Elvis On Record (I have the first edition) or the Elvis UK vinyl website.

As Elvis UK mentions that the poster carried the album's catalogue number, and stated that it was also available on cassette, I'm wondering whether this was a promotional item for record shops which might have been given away with some copies of the album, rather than a bona fide RCA insert.

Any ideas folks?

(I do recall a generic poster which had the same colour 1956 shot that featured on the sleeve of disc one from the Silver Box. This was included with random, stickered copies of RCA's UK albums, but of course this was a completely different item.)

When I bought Volume 1 at the time of release mine came with a four page catalogue and I believe that I also have the promotional poster for Volume 2 but I can’t get to that at the moment

That looks like a nice collector's item. It's LP size?
