Description

Elvis Presley "Janis And Elvis" 10-inch RCA 31077 (South Africa - 1956). What? Someone named Janis getting billing over Elvis? She was Janis Martin, an artist RCA promoted for two years (1956-58) as "The Female Elvis Presley". She charted just one single in that period, "Will You, Willyum" peaking at #35. This bit of esoterica was pressed in South Africa and featured alternating Elvis/Janis cuts, four on each side of the 33 1/3 RPM 10-incher. The Elvis cuts were "Baby Let's Play House", "You're A Heartbreaker", "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone", and "Milkcow Blues Boogie". Janis' contributions were "Ooby-Dooby", "Let's Elope Baby", "One More Year To Go", and "Barefoot Baby". Don't look for the US release of this - this wasn't one! Condition: VG-EX 6/ VG-EX 6. From the GRT Collection.
