TOO MUCH MONKEY BUSINESS: The Elvis Forum

and the label, having the STEMRA notice (Dutch Copyright Control company) as wel as "Manufactured by RCA B.V. Holland".
Label has (p) 1982 while backsleeve states 1980.

Great I forgot about that one Luuk! I had the LMT replica poster hanging in my room all my teenage years! The poster did not survive but I still have the record.

The scans are from my LP collection.
I have this LP with the poster intact.

If interested I can put up scans of:

- Elvis the moviestar
- Elvis sings country favourites
- Hits of the 70s
- Elvis forever
- Guitar man

All printed in The Netherlands.

It is quite time-consuming to put up the scans!
I'm not bored. Au contraire, I wish there were 48 hours in a day to do all I have and want to do.

Hi Luuk!

It would be great if you could take the time to put up the scans!
I started the thread to have the 45's finally covererd, but it seems were getting
close to a complete Dutch vinyl catalogue here!
I'm a happy man:)

So yes! it would be great if you could put up the scans!

According to the book "Hitdossier 1939-1994".
The first album entry from an Elvis album is 'Almost In Love' followed by 'Forever', '40 Greatest Hits' and 'Moody Blue'.
No mention of the lp 'Promised Land' Although I've got a dutch pressing of it.
I don't know if 'Almost In Love' is a Dutch release...

Greetz,

mrsongman

I only came across UK and US versions of Almost in Love over here.

Just having a short break from being very busy with scanning and placing on eBay and www.marktplaats.nl the record and video collection of my best friend, who urgently needs the money to pay medical bills.
Right now I am scanning some 24 videotapes of Elvis, mostly movies. They'll be €1,00 each on marktplaats.
When I find the time I'll put up some more scans of Dutch Printings here.

I've got a Dutch pressing of 'Elvis In Concert' and the 8 lp box (with poster) '100 Super Rocks (The Elvis Collection)'.
May I post scans of it when get rid of the flu?

Greetz,

mrsongman

Ofcourse you may.
Show us the LP's and covers.

ps Get well soon

Pieter, get well soon.

In Dorus' collection I found some Dutch pressings.

- A portrait in music, with 2 different backcovers listing different LPs!
- Love songs (K-Tel). I had a promotion cassette to play in the shop.
- Hits from the 70's
- Moody blue

I did make scans which I post here when I can find the time.

Wish him well and let me know when the vinyl hits marktplaats!

Of all discs scans can be found in earlier posts except
# no scan available
* I have scans and will publish these later

It is possible these discs were not immediately upon release printed in The Netherlands. Perhaps at first they were imported from Germany and later printed in The Netherlands a.k.a. Holland.

All Round Trading, located in Rotterdam as part of Weton-Wesgram, released picture discs which legally were made in Denmark but only sold in The Netherlands until RCA/Inelco by court order managed to stop production/selling.
In Denmark the copyright for recordings expired after 25 years, in other European countries after 50 years.
Hence Weton-Wesgram, now located in Oud-Beijerland, again produces lots of cheap CDs with 50 year old recordings, including Elvis.

There are many releases on All Round Trading (AR) featuring Elvis, both singles and LP's.

Thanks for this information Luuk.
Much appreciated.

Great Luuk!

Great list, Luuk. Looks rather complete. I will look in my collection for scans from the now called missing.

It's Elvis Time also did a reissue on Our Memories Of Elvis (cd only?) and RCA Special Product did a picture disc Pictures on Elvis. Apart from that there is the 1987 (?) series The Definitive (Love/ Film/ Rock 'n Roll/ Country/ Gospel) Collection, which was a Dutch 2-lp/ cd production.

I listed titles that were mentioned here or titles which I have here from my own collection (a few) or from Dorus' collection.
I do not know if the Pictures of Elvis (for toilet paper company) was printed here.
Also I am not sure the series The definitive were printed here.
