That for me was probably the best and honest review I have read/seen and although I have not seen the movie, his thoughts kind of mirror my thoughts/expectations of what will be ...

Just had a chance to read through the whole thread and loving it. The Quad Mix video was very cool.

Just curious, Alexander, what is your take on the Quad 8 mix of Elvis Country?


I know that mix is available on Apple Music but it has never been released previously. Not on 8Track nor on any ...

In 1964 the RCA Hollywood plant pressed its first batch of the Roustabout album in 1964 on the SILVER MONO/ STEREO label. RCA by then had introduced a new label design and Hollywood was fast to correct the error, which makes this Roustabout batch extremely rare .

And this week i buy this special Boxgar records lp from Colonel Parker. Very expence but its it word !

Excellent!
It is probably the only Elvis record I have played only once in my life.
In my collection I have the Orange and Tan label and a 1987 reissue by ...

The NAD Hybride Digitale DAC Amplifier C 368 . I have .

That's a serious high end amplifier for sure.
Is Google right when it says it only supports 2 channel audio? Seems a bit odd to me, since most modern sets support multichannels.
Anyway, if your amp supports 4 channels than you also require ...

Its a orange label . I buy it for 39 euro by a store one line .on eBay i seens for above 96 euro and my was the cover good plus and the media lp very good plus .

Very good deal indeed. And you will hear differences in the mix, even when you play this on a regular stereo set.


Yes, I guess ...

Deng! :o Nice one, very nice.
Orange or Black label?


That's a nice one! Do you play it on a CD4 system?


That might be a bridge too far. If you even plan to play these Quad records you need a Shibata styles ...

Well, we will never know how this suit would have looked on him but I seriously dislike this one. To my taste and judgement, it is horrendous. Just like the Rainfall or the Bicentennial suits I do not think it would have looked favorably on him at all.

These posts will be my go-to source when I will identify the year of pressing of my existing lp's and any new ones that I might be aquiring in the future!



Alexander has the stuff and the knowledge of sharing his info with relevant pics.
Thank you so much for the insight!


Nice words and ...

Yes it was and I am sure I'll have had it in my collection. Either sold or misplaced the record (surely can't find it). Can't stand that it is missing and been looking for a replacement ever since I noticed its absence, however HGTH probably had a significant run on the 1980 Black Label and ...

Alexander72...Only How Great Thou Art is missing. I remember buying it but could not locate it when photographing the series

with regards to this one Alexander72, my copy is etched BB but it`s on the black silver label, was this not also on the green label or not?? thanks


Yes it was and I am ...

And again you show us some very nice vinyl. Your collection must be huge! These mid 60's mono reissues also look very nice.

Nice to see that these nice items still have their original inner sleeves. A lot of times, on record fairs, they are found with new OIS's. Some sellers even proudly say ...

1975 - 1976 TAN Label
Did a post on this label recently, so scroll a few pages back for some in-depth context.

1976 - 1977 Black Label Dog Near Top
In the summer of 1976 RCA changed the Tan label for the Black Label Dog Near Top we know of the 1977 Welcome To My World and ...

1971 - 1975 Orange Label Flex Vinyl
Between 1971-1974 the oil crisis made raw materials for the record production more expensive. So prfit was on the line here. How to cut costs? Use less material and make the records thinner. Thus Dynaflex (super thin records) was born. Original 1st pressings got ...

1968 - 1970 Orange Label Rigid Vinyl
In 1968 RCA switched to the Orange Label so the entire catalog got a repress again. Well, not the entire catalog: albums with disappointing sales such as Harum Scarum , Frankie & Johnny, Spinout , Clambake were not repressed. Most 60s releases only got limited ...

1963 - 1964 Silver MONO/ STEREO Label
In 1963 the Hollywood pressing plant started a production run in very small volumes of some of Elvis' records on a slightly adjusted labels, similar to the labels on which Fun In Acapulco and Kissin' Cousins were released: "Long Play" by now had been replaced ...

1962 - 1964 Silver Staggered Stereo Label
In 1962 RCA released Elvis complete pre-1960 MONO catalog in the new Electronically Reprocessed Stereo format and even designed an adjusted label for it with the word STEREO in staggered lettering.

Some 3 years ago, after I completed my collection of 1st pressings of US Elvis vinyl I started focusing on the reissue labels. During the course of Elvis' career RCA switched labels from time to time and reprinted the (entire) catalog on the new label in use. Please check the excellent Elvisrecords ...

Haha... don't get weak now Johan! ;)


Same goed for me. Weak at heart when it comes to buying Elvis vinyl.
I am still trying to resist buying this red black ambered issue though...
As I am also trying to resist the new Music On Vinyl releases...
Hold myself to reserve that budget for a real ...
