A special offering for enthusiasts of early gospel recordings comes in the form of this 1961 UK pressing of the Elvis Presley with the Jordanaires - Peace In The Valley EP. Originally compiled by RCA in 1957 to showcase the King's deep-rooted devotion to spiritual music, this early sixties British edition stands as a beautifully authentic artefact from a historic chapter in his recording career. For vinyl record collectors, tracking down these early local manufacturing runs offers a genuine link to the era when Elvis's sacred catalogue was first finding its home on British turntables.

The presentation of this disc features the classic black and silver RCA label, complete with a traditional four-pronged push-out centre design. It comes housed inside its original, front-laminated flipback picture sleeve manufactured by MacNeill Press Ltd, which features the highly collectable printer's date code "McN2 61" stamped on the reverse face. Musically, the four-track extended play allows his phenomenal vocal control to take centre stage alongside the majestic backing harmonies of his legendary quartet. Side A presents the deeply moving title track "(There'll Be) Peace In The Valley (For Me)" followed by the solemn "It Is No Secret (What God Can Do)", while Side B delivers the heartfelt standard "I Believe" alongside the poignant "Take My Hand, Precious Lord".

Elvis fans and vinyl collectors looking at the deadwax details will find crisp, stamped text running through the runout tracks, reading H2WH-1334-1C H HCA H 2 UA H on the primary side and H2WH-1335-1C CA H 2 UG H on the second side. A further indicator of its authentic timeline is the E/T purchase tax code shown clearly onto the labels.

Released under Catalogue No. RCX-101, this particular Elvis record achieves a respectable, honest VG/VG condition grade. The original laminated flipback jacket remains completely intact but exhibits typical age-related laminate creasing across the front, alongside a previous owner's name neatly written in biro on the rear and along the inside opening edge rim. The vinyl surfaces display a healthy gloss with a few superficial surface marks from past play, while the black and silver labels carry a faint biro name near the centre spindle. For collectors seeking a genuine piece of 1960s music history that still delivers a wonderful listening experience, this distinctive British pressing makes a decent addition to any Elvis collection.
