ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT CDS 1207 has two different covers CDSV 1207 with BB
SUSPICIOUS MINDS CDS 1206 has two different covers CDSV 1206 with BB

I'm not sure what you mean there... these are the versions I have and both have the BBJ on the deadwax. So:
- CDS 1207 is with BBJ
- CDS 1206 is with BBJ

The alternate covers were printed for export purposes. I expect the vinyl is the same...

I have both cover variations of both records. All are Boppin' Bob cuts.

Ok,now I get it. All four are BBJ. Thanks,I'll add to the list.

Thank you @The fool for your photos! I'll be adding those titles to the list. And nice to see yet another FECC regular here

I have another pressing of this, in tiny letters on the back says it's printed in France.
Your label is black, mine is white.
No Bob Jones etching on mine.
Wonder if the sound is better on the UK one.
It was a lot better on his version on the "Elvis Tapes" release then on the more common versions.

This HMR 9005 version of The King speaks is also by Bob.

JohnnyByeBye is now updating the list, including labels and colors. My initial list was more basic, just album name and matrixnumber. The updated list with more info is now at the top of the first page. Better that one person does the updates than two persons.

This was great addition to the topic @The fool! Now we have a solid photographic evidence of how the -89 version and the deadwax in it looks like and that it is definitely a BBJ pressing. I added this to the list.

If someone would have a similar photo of the -89 version of For Elvis Fans Only,that would be also much appreciated

I would also be interested to know whether other pressings than BBJ exist for this one and For LP Fans Only which both were put out in 1989 in Germany(?)

I do have that album. But there isn´t any signature in the deadwax. Just the matrix number, nothing else.

Thank you for the photo! The background for this pressing is still left open a bit, but it's good to know that at least not all the copies do not have the BBJ signature. The mystery remains

I just noticed this about matrix numbers on Discogs:
https://www.discogs.com/release/4071901 ... -Fans-Only
Matrix / Runout (Side A, etched): 020 C-9109 A-1 NL 90359 A1 B.J.
Matrix / Runout (Side B, etched): 020 C-9109 B-1 NL 90359 B1 B.J.

On my copy they are
Side A: 012 DM C-9108 A-1
Side B: 012 DM C-9108 B-1

JohnnyByeBye...has it been confirmed that this one on the blue label is by BBJ?? I only ask because my blue label copy has no BB etching??

Elvis' Gold Records Volume 4 SF 7924. Blue label

thanks

Yep, by @ClausH here: viewtopic.php?p=2860#p2860

He actually refers to a Discogs link. And once you go to the Discogs link,notice what it reads in the "Barcode..." section.

Excellent! Now we have a confirmation that some versions of pressing has been cut by other than BBJ as well.

By looking through my collection i've counted 12 copies of "Golden records vol 3" (wich is my favorite 'golden' one), was suprised i had that much.
This is a question i also asked on the previous forum, but never got ansewered: since there are severeal Bob Jones collectors here too, does your copy also has a blank on the A-side label?
Great sound ofcourse.

Never seen this blank label before! You may have a rare misprint there. Could you find it on discogs? I didn't...

Could not find it either in Discogs, but since there are a few BJ collectors here, i wonder if there copy is the same...

You might have a nice collector's item there!

My copy of Golden Records Vol. 3 has labels on both sides.
