Elvis vinyl mastered by Boppin' Bob Jones

[JohnnyByeBye]

Does anyone have any clue about that Aloha From Hawaii DPS 2040 in Bilbo's list... what year's pressng is that exactly? Is thatt with orange öabel or something else?

The year is unknown. It is with the black label (used from 1979 to 1984, if I'm not mistaken).

And this one, where it is stated that Bob's signature is in the deadwax...

Thanks @Bilbobaggins! Good info! So it's a same thing as with the Rock 'n' roll lp's: the same catalog numbers were used for both orange and black labels,but only the blck labels were mastered by BBJ. It could be a good idea to mention that in the list

To be added to the list:

The First Ten Years (CDS-1213, Uk)

Just thought I would share my BBJ collection - I have added a few more since though, but haven't photographed them yet.

Have added Blue Hawaii, Roustabout and Essential Elvis 1 & 2.

Will add a photo of the other INTS pressings I have - I think I am only missing a few now

[JohnnyByeBye]

Thank you for the photos I was not aware that he cut Clambake as well! I would have liked to see ole Bob's face when was trying to tweak the high frequenzies on let's say... Confidence

I included Clambake by mistake. It should have been Elvis Country

I need to redo the whole photo with the recent additions

Well photo from @AndrewJ above has Something For Everybody,so that means that at least BBJ has cut it.

In my green label INTS version there is no sign whatsoever of who cut it. The deadwax reads only "INTS 5135 A-IU". Then there is small symbol that actually looks like the number "7" written sideways. I dont't know if that says anything to anyone(?)

Of the 20 Greatest vol. 1, I only have the German black label pressing...

Yes, BBJ definitely cut my version of SFE as it has his signature.

I have both the green and black versions of 20 Greatest Hits Vol 1 and neither are BBJ.

I don't recall anyone mentioning here that they own a BBJ pressing of Aloha or telling us how it sounds.

I received the pressing mentioned above in the mail today...

Bob's name isn't in the runout, but that does not mean he didn't (or did) cut it of course. The sound is great though.

So we have:

+ Great sound, could mean BBJ
+ year of issue, fits within the BBJ timeframe
+ mentioned on discogs as "laquer cut by Bob Jones"

- no name in the deadwax

So that means, possibly BBJ, but no proof!

a few more;
IT WON`T SEEM LIKE CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU 1982 (blue label) INTS 5235
ROCK N ROLL REBEL 1982 K-TEL NE 1170

and some corrections;
IMAGES is CR061 NOT CA
THAT`S THE WAY IT IS 5137 (not 5037) (black label)

and BBJ also did these, and although you have them listed already, these are different configurations;
ELVIS` GOLD RECORDS VOLUME 4 1979 (blue label)
THE SUN COLLECTION (blue label) 1979

Thanks for all the input so far. Keep 'em coming!

@Bilbobaggins ,could you add the label colors for all as well? For example:

- fior SF pressings,only black labels can be BBJ mastered
- for Golden Rec vol 4, both green and blue labels can be BBJ mastered
...etc.

For most of the INTS titles in you list, obviously it should only say "green label"

Sorry, but no. I will add only titles and matrixnumbers, with a few excptions... My intention was a basic list. But as I said before... feel free to copy and add.

This should be the one:

https://www.discogs.com/release/4071901 ... -Fans-Only

Made in Germany, 1989. The B.J. at the end of the matrix/runout should stand for Bob Jones. It's only that the LP matrix is NL 90359, instead of LSP 1990.

And wasn't it so that the -89 pressing has the RCA lightning bolt logo on the black label
