In the early years of Elvis I collected a number of his 45s. In 1970 I took them to my girlfriend's house to listen to them. That night when I go home I forgot to take them into the house and the heat from the sun made them unplayable. I was sick. I can only bet that they were pressed at Plastic Products in Memphis. Great video with a truck load of history. The song "Tragedy" was recorded by "The Fleetwoods" later and that is the version that I have always heard. Thanks Spa Guy! (Now I am going to search from one of your videos on the American studio. I hope you did one.)

“The girl next door” was one of the best songs on that album which is saying a lot, that album was full of great songs👍🍻

OMG!! The history you uncover and share is amazing!!! 👍👍

Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed watching . Long live the King of Music

Another fantastic video about Mr. Scotty Moore, the record recording and Elvis trivia Mr. Spa Guy. Thank you. I have the "Elvis Is Back" album. I believe it is one of Elvis best albums. Sad it didn't sale better.

Good old chips and good old spa man keeping us all conected amazing 👏

This is truly some good history that you are sharing and collecting on video Spa Guy. Thank you.

Billy I’m just now seeing thys. I can’t believe I haven’t seen this before. What a great find. I love it.

This made me think of a story told to me by an elderly gentleman here in Central Illinois . He said our Canton Automotive received a phone call from Elvis and he needed a tow truck to help get a vehicle pulling a trailer out of a ditch on Rt 9. According to this man, Elvis told them they had to be very careful as the trailer held blank record discs coming from Chicago. I had always.wondered if this could be true. Thanks for some great history, Spa Guy!

Brilliant Spaguy Thank you for sharing this - this is history Rock n' Roll

Mr. Spa . . I worked just up the street at chelsea and mclain for 3 years in 1985 . . 30 years after the pressing business , i remember driving by these quanset huts many times 😊

Very cool and very interesting 🤔

Such good historical info. Thanks, SpaGuy!

This really take's me back to my portable record player, it would hold 45s and 73s, you could stack the record's so your music continued to play. I had all of Elvis's gospel album's and listened almost daily when I was a teenager. Elvis kept me home and out of trouble, I would rather spend time listening to Elvis.

Thank you friend , I enjoy your videos very much

It was a pleasant surprise to hear you mention that Sam was in radio in Muscle Shoals. He was on WLAY. I work at WLAY. I enjoy your videos very much.

I love all this history about Elivs , Scotty , and many more . I never knew about this . Thanks for sharing Spa Guy !!

I'm proud to be a native memphian you do a great job spy guy

I really enjoy these type of videos Spa Guy!! Keep'em coming!!

Thanks for a great video 👍

I am SO GLAD that the buildings are still standing! Seems we lose so much history to what some like to call progress.

If only we could slice time and choose a different date to pop out at at the same location. I love these "It happened right here" vids

Hi Spa Guy....I love your videos and I also love your respect and love for anything Elvis....I have been a huge Elvis fan all my life. I am planning a visit to Memphis this coming January...I was there in 1987 at the age of 21 and it was really great....I am a guitar player/singer who has played in pubs and bars as a sideline ..Also did singing Elvis telegrams.......the strangest thing about that is, when I play an Elvis number people love it and they ask me "what was that song you did that goes bla bla bla"?....and I say...."oh , that was one night by Elvis or Tryin' to get to you" (or whatever other song it may have been)...they look at me like I am from another planet, but they say ..."Geez ...that was cool"...That's when I say...."get on youtube and look up Elvis!!!!! Once you know him...it's impossible to Unknow him!!!!! anyway...would love to meet you.

The music industry was a small circle then they all seem to intersect and cross paths, you definitely could be a private detective how you piece these things together is amazing, I'm sure the more you have done the more you find and it links from one to another.... Fine work as always thanks

Another interesting video.On Friday's I travel old highway 78 which is one of routes Elvis would take back in the 50's while touring.I pass old houses and think to myself,that Elvis had passed this very house back In the day.Another part of 78 runs through Leeds Alabama where Elvis stopped and had lunch one day back in the mid 50's.The reason I tell this,is like you,even concrete Elvis walked on is interesting to me.i was raised in Leeds and you can find the story and A pick of him at the restaurant back In the day.Powels Cafe I believe was the name of the Cafe.He was with friends I didn't recognize in the pic

You answered your own question as to whether Plastic products pressed 78's as well as 45's? The answer is YES, The Phillips 78 and receipt show they did. Great content as i'm finding out going through your posts.

Packed with incredible information. Didn't know any of that.

You did a lot of research for this video . You do have a lot of great photos and fax about it all . I do like the story about Elvis is back !!!! Thank you for all of you hard work on all of your videos I have enjoyed it a lot God bless !!!Take care .

Billy, you missed one more Elvis-link here.... Elvis actually recorded "This Time". It's a informal recording (medley) with I can't stop Loving you. On the "Essential 60's Masters"

Love it

Awesome video! Thank you for all that you do!! I am amazed at your knowledge on everything Elvis, etc... Safe travels, Friend!

Thomas Wayne was great. I remember "Tragedy".

That's so cool. Thanks again for your video's.

Thanks again Spa guy. Amazing as ever.

so very cool!

Amazing how things can be intertwined like that, thanks again for the great insight!

excellent research, another piece in the puzzle

On the Joe Hill Louis single, I noticed the co-writer of both sides was a *Phillips* ... It would appear that Sam, as was the custom back in those days, slapped himself on as co-writer, even though it was strictly a Louis composition. In fact, on "Boogie In The Park", Joe played guitar and drums on the recording *at the same time.*

Thank You. Spa Guy. I love this. Thsnks

Thanks for posting... enjoyed 😁

Who knew there was a big lake, & a beach right there?? Pretty cool! Nice video!

Greetings from Far East Spaguy ! Arigato!

Thank Yo again.

Great info

Do you know if Elvis ever got to meet John Wayne and the story surrounding it? Were any photos taken or if Elvis even collected photos and autographs of his favorite stars? That might be a question to ask an "insider" sometime.

I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy all of the videos you do on Elvis Presley. I am hooked on them.

Thankyou,a very interesting video, always good.

Another Great Video , Love the Historical sites of these , and I never knew Thomas Wayne Wrote The Girl Next Door . Keep them Coming . How about The Church Elvis Attended in Memphis as a Teenager is it Still There ? Thanks

Today would of been Elvis' 83 birthday...January 8, 2018.

That was incredible

Never saw Scotty playing a Fender before.

Thanks for the video and the info my friend

Nice video history lesson on the 45 rpm in Memphis. Billy any idea what is in those buildings now?

Does anyone know where I could get some of my records replaced ? Been collecting since I was a kid and needless to say as a kid some are trashed even though I still have them . Thanks so much for all you do Spa Guy !

Hey Pal...hope all is well. I really do enjoy your videos, and didn't know you were also a picker...Holy Mackerel!!. Anyway, Paul McCartney released 'Tragedy'...didn't know if you knew that, but do a search on youtube and his recording comes up, and it sounds really good. Take care and "Tighten up every...."

Fantastic Sherlock Holmes !!

Great story

cool video

As always thanks for the awesome info!!! It is weird to see Scotty with a Tele. I know he had one that he played on in the Navy. I wonder why he played it than his Gibson? I would assume he still had his Gibson Super 400 at that time.

Respect

🎸🎶🎶🎶🕺

That’s so incredible to see those old buildings that printed the vinyl. That check from Sam has Payola written all over it. :) I dig the music at the end. Where do you find such cool funk disco tracks? I dig it man.

Another great video from The Spaguy. Thank you and cheers from Perth Australia.

That’s very cool. What are those units used for these days spa guy?

I am wondering what is left inside those huts

Thomas Wayne - Saturday Date - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zs-Di6t40sqlmJ8.html Thomas Wayne - Tragedy - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsqAe8KdlrW2nWg.html I was never aware of either of these songs until I watched this video. Thanks, Spa Guy!!!

Billy that guy on here was talking about records melting. Were these buildings air conditioned? If not how dud they keep them from getting too hot and ruining the records.

D***! Spaguy! (That's as close to cursing as I like to get.)Man, you blew me away once again. I knew the story of Sam Phillips. The rest nothing!!! I'm an idiot next to you! Write a book on "E" trivia. Bestseller: Bids on first copy please.

Elvis s A Legend The only True King Next To Jesus

Is it possible that there are still some records left in these huts

wasn't Chips associated with the Swampers or am I thinking of someone else

Isn't "706" the same address # as Forrest Bobo's was in Tupelo ?
