seanbss 21st Jun 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis (1959)	A couple of sleeve variations are missing from this listing…full list to my knowledge as below: 1st Press - Half-Moon Flipbacks, Full Picture 2nd Press - Straight Flipbacks, Full Picture 3rd Press - No Flipbacks, Full Picture 4th Press - No Flipbacks, White Border

seanbss 11th Feb 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - King Creole (1958)	Anyone know why the back cover on first presses was seemingly glued over the flipbacks rather than printed onto the back cover…?!
seanbss 19th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Harem Holiday (1966)	I’ve never seen a non-flipback sleeve for this album or it’s predecessor, Elvis For Everyone, whilst all the other albums post ‘63 seem to have never been issued with flipback sleeves.
seanbss 4th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Blondie - The Best Of Blondie (1981)	My copy also contained a merchandise insert as well as the front cover sticker and Debbie poster…
seanbss 19th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album Little Richard - Little Richard Sings (1964)	No surprise that Summit released albums in this manner and used thin card as they were a budget label…see Summit [60s Budget] label on 45cat…
seanbss 16th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album Billy Fury - The World Of Billy Fury (1971)	2nd press likely issued in late 1979 / early 1980 as label design is same as Vol. 2 which was issued in March 1980.
seanbss 8th Oct 2021		Vinyl Album Shakin' Stevens - Greatest Hits (1984)	Actually Mickey Gee played lead guitar on most of these tracks, having earlier been in The Sunsets!!
seanbss 30th Sep 2021		Vinyl Album Little Richard - Little Richard Is Back (1968)	This was actually a reissue of the British release on Fontana from 1964…not currently listed on here but I’m about to add it courtesy of my copy.
seanbss 2nd Sep 2021		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Girl Happy (1984)	1980 reissue on RCA International as per cover designation. Please amalgamate with 1980 press on RCA International.
seanbss 31st Aug 2021		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Rare Elvis, Vol. 3 (1983)	The price codes box top right on rear sleeve denoted which main territories actually gave this an official release - this one wasn’t issued in the U.K. hence the blank price code.
seanbss 31st Aug 2021		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Roustabout (1977)	Some copies came with a poster and stickered sleeve advertising aforementioned poster.
seanbss 31st Aug 2021		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley (1992)	As denoted by territory prices codes on rear of sleeve, this release was actually only released in the U.K.
seanbss 23rd Aug 2021		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - A Legendary Performer Volume 2 (1976)	I’ve got two slightly different pressings of this one…early one in textured sleeve, with square picture sleeve card inner and a later issue in smooth sleeve with curved picture sleeve card inner. Booklet as described by Graham7 is the same for both issues. Also found a later repress on black RCA U.K. label.
seanbss 12th Aug 2021		Vinyl Album Jackie Wilson - The Soul Years (1985)	Strange that Kent issued two LPs of Jackie’s soul output but only issued one single by him!!!
seanbss 8th Aug 2021		Vinyl Album The Everly Brothers - Rock 'N Soul (1965)	Just noticed that the spine erroneously spells Everley.
seanbss 22nd Apr 2021		Vinyl Album Brenda Lee - Miss Dynamite (1960)	My copy has half-moon flipbacks.
seanbss 9th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - 40 Greatest (1978)	Pink and black vinyls were issued concurrently. However the black vinyl sold 100,000 copies LESS than the ‘Special’ pink pressing making it the rarer of the two. This was an official reissue of 40 Greatest Hits on Arcade from 1974…reissued on RCA International in the 80s as 20 Greatest Hits Vol. 1 and Vol. 2…
seanbss 16th Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Roy Orbison - The Fastest Guitar Alive (1968)	The Big O’s only film role...and apparently the script was so bad that Col Parker even turned the film down on Elvis’s behalf!!!

seanbss 13th Jul 2020		Vinyl Album Jerry Lee Lewis / Carl Perkins - Sunstroke! 12 Great Classics Of Country Rock By Jerry Lee Lewis And Carl Perkins (1966)	Black label is not a variant but a reissue from when the label design changed...and it’s definitely “booger”!!!
seanbss 6th Jul 2020		Vinyl Album John Barry - Zulu Original Soundtrack And Themes (1972)	Anyone got the blue label version that’s on Discogs...would indicate a 1968-70 issue in between this and the original ‘64 issue?! Would also be handy if some could make an entry for the 2015 reissue??
seanbss 4th Jul 2020		Vinyl Album John Barry - Zulu (1964)	Got reissued in ‘72 on the black label with a non-flipback sleeve...and also between 68-70 on the blue label going on Discogs information and again in 2015!!
seanbss 3rd Aug 2019		Vinyl Album P. J. Proby - Believe It Or Not! (1968)	It's difficult to ascertain a month without having a contemporary advert or a list of Liberty releases to hand...this was P.J.s only album release for the year.
