EUROPEAN PRESSINGS:

RCA in the United States had decided it was time to centralise the manufacture of their product in Western Europe, this would be solely for the purpose of European distribution to countries like Belgium, West Germany, Italy, Holland, France and the UK. They had already shut down their operations in the UK with the closure of their Washington plant. Since then EMI had pressed most of their UK output. RCA chose to use a plant based in West Germany, a decision which didn't go down well in Britain.

 

This release was the first German Elvis album to be released in the UK, so effectively from this point on, new Elvis' RCA albums available in Britain were no longer manufactured in the UK.

 

In cases where the light green International (INTS) UK label stock ran low in supply numbers, they were boosted by adding the new German black or blue international albums. The covers were issued with INTS stickers applied to cover the european catalogue numbers. This caused a lot of problems for dealers and collectors alike.
