LP/Single/CD Cover Art Unedited

Post by KingElvis »

There was a post over at the old FECC forum that I found enjoyable.
It featured pictures used as cover art on various releases, but many of them were
heavily edited or retouched,so it was cool to see the original, complete photos.
I have no idea if this will be of any interest here, but time will tell.
Anyway, I’ll start with this one, as it’s a favorite picture of mine from Aloha but
also a favorite compilation from the mid 70`s.

I believe that "Hits of the 70's" album was a UK-only release in 1974 (orange RCA label). Then a reissue occurred three years later in 1977 (blue RCA label) - possibly around the time of Elvis' passing or probably just after (?)...

First released in the UK but also in Germany and France...seen the German pressing in shops years ago :)
I saw a cassette edition recently with a completely different track order,the opening track was I’ve Lost You,
so to me it just felt weird.

This is something different.... a screenshot from TTWII I made decades ago.
I’ve posted it online many times over the years.

Another with Aloha picture on the front cover.
Uncertain to me which picture is reversed…probably the left one.

I believe the album cover photo is reversed... the picture was taken during "Something" and Elvis was holding the mic in his right hand...
