okun69 12th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Nancy Sinatra - Start Walkin' 1965-1976 (2021)	I have added this as Light In The Attic UK release as this limited edition is listed on the OBI as being a UK Color Exclusive.
okun69 11th Mar 2021		Vinyl Album Judie Tzuke - Ritmo (1983)	Cover scans added.
okun69 14th Jul 2019		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Worldwide 50 Gold Award Hits, Vol. 1 (1970)	No Ready Teddy 1956, the box set which had the piece of cloth from Elvis's wardrobe was the next one "Elvis The Other Sides - Worldwide Gold Award Hits Vol. 2"
okun69 12th Jun 2019		Vinyl Album Pat Boone - Stardust (1958)	Listed month as Nov 1958 as this is when it is listed in the New Records Nov 1958 catalogue, if it should be different please amend.
okun69 16th Jan 2019		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis (1959)	Hi Sladesounds, Stoutfellow51's scans should come after your scans then Juke Jules scans after Stoutfellow51's
okun69 27th Dec 2018		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Just The Two Of Us (1990)	Release date from BPI Award Certificates website.
okun69 25th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album Perry Como - So Smooth (1955)	The US album was released in September 1955, I am not sure if Canadian releases were issued at the same time.
okun69 10th Aug 2018		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis (1968)	To be honest Doug, this album should really just be titled "Elvis".
okun69 5th Apr 2018		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis The First Ten Years (1984)	The book "Elvis UK" gives the release date for this LP as September 1984.
okun69 30th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Humble Harve Presents 22 Original Goldens (1967)	Spelling mistakes are as found on back cover and labels. I have also seen a rear cover with a different track listing. See here.
okun69 24th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis For Everyone (1966)	I believe that these were German pressed export copies for sale in Scandinavian countries. One German forum I came across has this about the catalogue code:- SVA = Special Public Release SVAS Special Publication Foreign Stereo
okun69 25th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album Duke Ellington And His Orchestra - Duke Ellington's Far East Suite (1967)	Not sure if it helps, but SF7892 was released August 1967, so could also have been released around this time.
okun69 14th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Gene Pitney - Gene Pitney's Big Sixteen (1965)	Not sure about the EMI stable of labels, but the simplified "Ⓟ" rather than the full wording "Recording first published" came in to effect on the RCA label around the beginning of 1965.
okun69 9th May 2017		Vinyl Album Al Martino - The Best Of Al Martino (1969)	Personally I like ppint's musings and find them informative and funny but if ppint's posts are not to your liking then:- go in to "my page", scroll down to more options, hit the ignore button and add the name to your ignore list. This will ensure you don't see these comments. No need to leave snide comments.
okun69 7th Jul 2016		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis' Golden Records (1958)	I personally would say that you have the correct sleeve for the record you own stoutfellow51, I believe the mentioning of Red Seal on the front cover was dropped when moving to the single pocket sleeve. Never seen one with it mentioned. All of the RCA Elvis Presley albums had pressings on either the 1969 9cm diameter or 10cm diameter Orange label except for Loving You 10" LP (deleted in 1965 and re-packaged with a couple of singles tracks as Flaming Star & Summer Kisses), It Happened At The World's Fair, Fun In Acapulco, Kissin' Cousins, Frankie & Johnny and California Holiday
okun69 7th Jul 2016		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis' Golden Records (1958)	By the look of the photo that you've uploaded stoutfellow51 it looks as though it's a 1969 pressing, made just as RCA had introduced the Orange label. If it is a 1969 pressing, the diameter of the label should be 9cm. This quickly changed to the standard 10cm Orange label by the end of the year.
okun69 5th Jun 2016		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Loving You (1957)	This 10" album was available through until mid 1965, the 8 tracks from this plus an additional four were released as Flaming Star & Summer Kisses RD7723 in September 1965. It wasn't until October 1977 that we got the 12" album of "Loving You" in the UK. Although plenty of European copies of the 12" album made it to these shores before then.
okun69 17th Mar 2014		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Something For Everybody (1961)	The duct tape would be covering the Nipper dog and gramophone logo. It looks as this copy was imported to the UK and this logo had to be covered as in the UK it belongs to HMV.
okun69 9th Feb 2014		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis' Golden Records Vol. 2 (1960)	The silver RCA label without parallel lines I believe came into use in 1960 about Spring / Summer time, I would hazard a guess that the record with the different tax codes was probably late Summer of 1961.
okun69 28th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - A Legendary Performer Volume 1 (1974)	I think gregs78s scans are actually of a UK issue, The first UK pressings had a US cover with a sticker on the reverse with a HH price code. Later, UK covers were printed which didn't have the Die Cut hole in the front cover but the inner sleeve and booklet were printed in the USA. mod edit: agreed; moved to the UK issue.
okun69 29th Dec 2013		Vinyl Album Hank Williams And His Drifting Cowboys - The Unforgettable Hank Williams (1959)	Listed in the New Records Catalog July 1959.
okun69 2nd Dec 2013		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - A Date With Elvis (1959)	The black label/ rca logo was in use on Elvis LP's between 1957 and late 1962. From Late 1962 to Late 1963 the black label / Rca Victor logo was in use. Then from 1964 to 1968 the black label / Rca Victor Red Dot logo was used.
okun69 29th Nov 2013		Vinyl Album The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (1999)	Simply Vinyl was established in 1997 in response to the declining availability of the vinyl format on both new and classic back catalogue Rock/Pop titles. The main objective was to source and reissue classic titles for which there was an unsatisfied global demand. To cater for the needs of the very discerning vinyl customer, only the highest quality of 180 gram virgin vinyl was used for exclusive titles, packaged with love and care into 350 gram durable sleeves.
okun69 22nd Nov 2013		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - I Got Lucky (1975)	This is a UK release. The RCA Camden imprint was released in November 1975, the French pressing is from 1977 intended for the UK market. Pressed to meet with demand for Elvis records after his death in August of that year.
okun69 27th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - A Legendary Performer Volume 3 (1979)	Blue vinyl rim was the first pressing, Black vinyl rim was the second pressing.
okun69 25th Oct 2013		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - A Date With Elvis (1959)	The date ringed on the back cover was the original intended date for Elvis to leave the U.S. Army, although he actually left the service at the beginning of the month.
okun69 26th Sep 2013		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Rock 'N' Roll No.2 (1962)	This is the first RCA UK pressing of this release of Rock 'N' Roll No. 2, released in late 1962. The original release (from Spring 1957) was on the HMV label and had a different cover.
