sunrocker🍰 14th Jul 2022 |  | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley - A Date With Elvis | The sun recordings on this album have much more delay than on the previous RCA issues. Why did they remix them again? I guess we will never know.

sunrocker🍰 14th Jul 2022 |  | Vinyl AlbumThe Beach Boys - The Beach Boys' Christmas Album | Release date is later than 1964 in Germany. The mother company Carl Lindström changed their cat.-no. from 84 xxx to 74 xxx in 1966, this was for all sub labels like Electrola, Columbia, Odeon, Capitol.
All records that had an old cat.-no. like 83 xxx or 84 xxx became the new 73 xxx or 74 xxx number now.
This album here was issued with the SMK 74 310 cat.-no. ONLY - no earlier pressing with the old number combination exists, so it was issued 2 years later in 1966.

sunrocker🍰 14th Jul 2022 |  | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Cole Porter's Can-Can | The shown pressing (1849338 / 1849341 / 1849342 / 1849343) is from 1964 or later. The EMI Logo is on the cover and the Stereo sticker is printed with a yellow background. Older pressing habe a real stripe sticker in gold/black. And a pressing from 1960 would have a round Stereo sticker.

sunrocker🍰 14th Jul 2022 |  | Vinyl AlbumThe Beach Boys - Surfin´USA | Interesting, that the second album was released in Germany with the older round Stereo-Sticker and the first album has the slighty newer stripe Stereo Sticker.
I would guess that the first album was issued after the second in Germany.
The EMI Logo isn't on the cover, so it's still an early pressing.

sunrocker🍰 11th Apr 2022 |  | Vinyl AlbumThe Drifters - Save The Last Dance For Me | Atlantic was in the hands of Teldec (mother company of London Records in Germany) until 1959, after that Metronome Records had the rights on Atlantic.
The Atlantic Special Series was a budget line with older material, so this LP wasn't pressed in 1962, I would guess sometimes in the mid to late 60s.
