BMG/RCA/CASTLE MUSIC ELVIS 103X

Released: July 2001:

Sound Format: mono/Stereo

UK Single No: (209 - 225)

This extended play coloured vinyl set presented in a blue suede box, showcased Elvis' single releases in the U.K. that reached the top of the charts. It contained 17 faithfully reproduced 45rpm records complete with original style RCA labels and company paper sleeves. It included a folded information booklet that opened in to a double-sided sheet. This provided information about the singles and some nice photographs of the hall of fame in Graceland and vintage U.K. music sheets.

 

NOTE: This version had a limited edition sticker applied to the front.

The records contained in this set were pressed in the U.K. by DAMONT, a company operating in Hayes, Middlesex. They entered liquidation in 2005 and ceased to exist in 2009.
