One-of-a-kind 45 rpm Jailhouse Rock prop record sleeve for Vince Everett’s “Treat Me Nice” single, signed and inscribed on the front in blue ballpoint, “To Sylvia, yours, Elvis Presley.” The cover is affixed to a self-titled single by Charles Mariano, an alto sax Imperial jazz artist. Accompanied by a May/June 1988 issue of DISCoveries, with a two-page article on the history of this unique sleeve, detailing Sylvia’s story, and asking if this sleeve is “The World’s Rarest Picture Sleeve?” Also accompanied by a notarized certificate of authenticity from Sylvia Martinez, the sleeve’s original recipient. In fine condition, with partial separations along horizontal edges, some scattered light spotting, and a couple letters of Presley’s last name of signature light but legible.
Of course, there never was a Vince Everett, he never released a song called Treat Me Nice, and no such company named Laurel Records was around to promote it...except in Jailhouse Rock! In one scene in that film, Elvis’ character is seated a table surrounded by copies of his “hit single.” Being the marketing genius that he was, Colonel Tom Parker, Presley’s manager, ordered all of the props used in the scene destroyed once filming was finished. But Martinez outmaneuvered The Colonel and snagged one of the sleeves—this sleeve—and asked the King to sign it for her. As far as she recalled, no one else picked up the souvenir, much less had Elvis sign it, leading to the belief that this is the only prop of its kind in existence—a unique Elvis collectible! Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RRAuction COA.
