NM/NM
Mega-Rare Original Collectible from ERR! One consensus is that the Elvis Presley "Perfect For Parties" Highlight Album was a giveaway with the purchase of an RCA Records record player of a specific model. While that may be true, various advertisements and articles do not support that theory. It is likely that dealers may have stocked up on this EP on their own with purchases from the advertisements to create their own promotion. Its also possible that there was leftover stock that was distributed to dealers to distribute through various promotions.
Whatever the case may be, the "Perfect for Parties" Highlight Album was a Promo Only Rarity, available through mail order with Coupons.
