Has anyone seen the limited edition singles being released in the UK?

Every week one of his 18 UK No.1's are being released on CD (limited to 20,000 and simulated to look like vinyl withe grooves etc.) and vinyl (limited to 7,500)

So far, All Shook Up, Jailhouse Rock and One Night have been released and they're all are completely sold out and deleted.

If u look on eBay you'll see each single is going for anywhere between £50 and £75 even though they only cost £3.99. Unbelievable. The price tends to rocket in the last few minutes.

With another 15 to be released in the next 15 weeks they're gonna make a bloody fortune.

Fortunately for me I've managed to pre-order all of them (with box) for £100.

If there was a league table based on the amount of replies u get...
well surely I'd be bottom by now with this form...must be my 3rd or 4th zero reply thread in the last couple of days

Oh. I find this interesting.

It's amazing it really is. If I'd known they were limited to 20,000 copies, I would have invested myself.

Well, that's certainly odd, since the CD single of Jailhouse Rock sold over 21,000 copies last week to debut at #1 - 21,262 to be exact.

They had a limited run of 1,000 7" vinyls too.

I've had a look at eBay myself. People are making a 900% profit.

Just go to www.ebay.co.uk type in elvis limited single and take a look. It's crazy.

Hehe I just updated my post - they sold 21,262 (wonder where the 262 came from?)

It's my mistake. I thought there were only 1,000 vinyls printed but looking at kinaldo's original post, it seems that there were 7,500 printed.

I can't believe the mark-up that these people are making though.
