Don't feel guilty! ha-ha
Please upload your images as the more variations that are made available to view, hopefully the more easier it will make it to understand RCA in all of their wisdom to have so many errors and variations.
Cheers,

|
memphismartin 23rd Oct 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley - Girls! Girls! Girls! (1963) | This album's catalogue number should be RD.7534 not 7543.
|
memphismartin 22nd Oct 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley - Rock 'N' Roll No.2 (1962) | Where do you start with this one??
This album is a sort of re-issue of Elvis' 2nd album "Rock 'n' Roll No. 2" that was released on the HMV label in mono in 1957 in the UK.
This particular album's mono counterpart (RD-7528) is a more accurate re-issue as this "Stereo" version is atrocious. It was released in 1962 and not 1969 as stated above. The first pressing was on the RCA Victor black label (which I've uploaded) and the front cover had "Electronically Reprocessed" under the word Stereo (Also uploaded). This "Electronic Stereo" was a gimmick invention by RCA for people with stereo equipment who wanted to hear the original mono versions in "Stereo". It really sounds terrible!!
From 1967 to 1969 the label changed to the RCA Victor "Red Dot" (uploaded).
In 1969 the label changed to the "Small Orange" version (uploaded) and from 1971 to around 1977 the more familiar "Large Orange" which Stoutfellow uploaded.
In and around 1975 the cover changed to a whole new blue design. A couple of years later the Large Orange label dropped the word Stereo and just used "Side 1" or "Side 2".
You can also get this album on the 1980 RCA "New Black" label.

memphismartin 22nd Oct 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley - Rock 'N' Roll No.2 (1962) | Uploaded 1968 J/T Tax Code RCA Victor "Red Dot" variation.
1969 "Small Orange" variation and 1970 "Large Orange" variation.
|
memphismartin 7th Oct 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley With The Jordanaires - Blue Hawaii (1961) | Uploaded the 1st issue Cover which like it's mono counterpart has "Blue Hawaii" and "Elvis Presley" in bigger print across the top of the front sleeve.
There is no tax code on the album label itself and there doesn't seem to be an "RCA Victor" label variation.
Unlike "Something For Everybody" (SF 5106) which kept it's catalogue number throughout the different variations, Blue Hawaii (the stereo version) changed in December 1970 from "SF 5115" to "SF 8145".
