A bit annoying that photos are not included when quoting someone, but referring to the photo you uploaded earlier:
it is a bit unsharp but looks like some German pressings of the Camdens and A Portrait in Music. Congrats!

Yesterday i score in a great mind condition Elvis Aron Presley silver lp boxset and more Camden lps ...

My USA pressing has on the backside in corner left a sticker: Limited editon number: E 04559.

In the lead out groove from the first LP is etched a signature of Elvis Presley + pressed on
side 1: CPL8 3699 1A3S
side 2: CPL8 3699 1B2S
This means a very early pressing for LP 1.
I've not checked the other LP's but I presume early pressings too.

CPL means:
C = year code
P = Popular
L = size 33 rpm
3699 = serial number
1A = side A / 3S = third mold / master for pressing
1B = side B / 2S = second mold / master for pressing

Around 1965 RCA Germany sold in Europe LP It happened at the world’s fair imported from USA.
On the front of the cover the Nipper logo was covered with a gold square sticker. On the label the Nipper logo was covered with a small red RCA sticker.
German pressings afterwards had on the front of the cover a black square on the place from the sticker.

Later on when I removed the gold sticker on the cover I discovered the US pressing.

In the lead-out groove from this LP is pressed:
side 1: RPM 2727 3 S A
side 2: RPM 2728 A 1

R=1964
P= popular
M= mono

2727/2728 = serial number
3 S = third mold / master
A 1 = first mold /master

Do you have pictures of these "censored" labels in your database?

RCA did this practice (covering Nipper with stickers) both in the UK and Germany on imported US vinyl although import quatities of US vinyl were very limited. Don't have any of these "censored" imports in my collection unfortunately but I once had the US 60s stereo Surrender single with 61-prefix with Nipper blacked out. Sold these years ago when money was tight.

Teldec in Germany presented some nice runs of the It Happened At The Worlds Fair album. These are the German copies in my collection:

It's Happened At The Worlds Fair with original inner sleeve, first mono pressing on the S6 label (1963)

[/i]

It's Happened At The Worlds Fair with original inner sleeve, second mono pressing on the V1 label (1963-1964)

[colonel snow]

I don't have made pictures of this "censored" album (LPM 2697) at the time; now with stickers removed an US version of the album was "created". I always preferred collecting US albums and Japanese albums in those years instead of the German released LP's when available.
Album releases from France and other countries in the South of Europe were poor comparing the releases in West of Europe.

A record that I have been looking for came up for sale on ebay last week. I didn't pull the trigger immediately (because of its hefty price) but someone else did. It is the rare white top monaural edition of "Pot Luck With Elvis" in great condition. Oh well -- still on the hunt.

N2PP 1886 on this Pot luck record label means:

P= popular
P= 12” 33 rpm

Thanks for sharing. Great to take a peak into Ians amazing collection. Ian is a really great collector as well as seller on Ebay, bought many records off him.

Still on the hunt for that one as well. When looking for these kind of rarities apparently these price tags come with the purchase.

I was in doubt about buying this version (Already had 5 different versions) but saw it and the price was right, so...
It looks beautiful but the pic on the front is a bit less sharp then the other versions, the vinyl itself is nice red marbled.
Soundwise it's close to perfect, it has puch when needed, has bass and sounds crisp.
Even when having several editions of this great record, this pressing is recommended.

I'm still in doubt... but I'm tempted...
