The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Anyone have a spare $25K or so? https://www.ebay.com/itm/226219793920?m ... media=COPY Kinda cool if genuine... .

There's no fresh photo of the dog?

No photo apparently: October 1959 review of concert: The madness reached its peak at the finish with "Hound Dog." Elvis writhed in complete abandon, hair hanging down over his face. He got down on the floor with a huge replica of the RCA singing dog and made love to it as if it were a girl. Slowly, he rolled over and over on the floor. The little brunette of maybe 15 sitting in front of me bent her head and covered her eyes, whether with embarrassment, fright, sickness or excitement, I know not. I do know this is corruption of the innocent on a scale such as I have never witnessed before. For these are children to whom Elvis appeals, preconditioned, curious adolescents, who are artificially and unhealthfully stimulated. Their reactions would shock many a parent if he or she could see this display. They are not adults who can take his crudities and laugh or shrug them of.

...a huge replica of the RCA singing dog and made love to it as if it were a girl.

Here we go folks, the next item up for bid. How much am I bid for this RCA dog, the very same dog once deflowered by Elvis Presley in 1959...

That might be the best sales pitch ever written for a Nipper at auction!

...... it is unemcumbered by lein or bebt ......

what is 'bebt' I wonder ? Should the word be debt ?

The whole thing is highly suspect. The seller has ZERO feedback despite being a member since 2021. The "affidavit" says nothing about being used at concerts. Lastly, Elvis was in the Army from 1958-1960. He did not perform any concerts during that time, so he could not possibly have been boffing a plastic Nipper on stage in 1959.
