Typically the backs with the images of recommended record collections are referred to as “ad backs”. Many cataloging systems identify these “ad backs” by the sequence of the records generally from upper left corner to the lower right corner. While this system works well, this site organizes the records by the phrase found in the yellow box directly above the bottom row of records.

Side 1: G2WP-7207-4S A / Side 2: G2WP-7208-4S A (Hollywood pressing)

This rare Hollywood pressing label does not include CAMDEN, N.J. in the statement along the bottom of the label TRADE MARKS ® REGISTERED · MARCAS REGISTRADAS · RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA – CAMDEN, N.J. – MADE IN U.S.A. Within the same pressing, CAMDEN, N.J. was removed. An independent study of 1950s RCA Victor albums (33s) and singles (45s and 78s). determined that the CAMDEN, N.J. was removed from the label sometime in 1959, which means that pressings from 1959 and later will not have the CAMDEN, N.J. statement.19

Copies with matrix numbers G2WP-7208-15S, G2WP-7208-16S (Canadian pressing), G2WP-7208-17S, or G2WP-7208-19S stamped on Side 2 (Side 1 doesn’t matter) are likely candidates to contain the alternate take of Old Shep which contain an added word in two different phrases. Words in upper case are added in the alternative take: “As the years fast did roll, Old Shep he grew old AND his eyes were fast growing dim.” and “He came to my side and he looked up at me, and HE laid his old head on my knee.”

This alternate take was identified in 1980 from the “Eternal Elvis” and “Rockin’ Rebel Vol. 3” bootleg albums, which was believed to have been taken from the HMV album “Elvis Presley No. 2” from England.36 This is interesting because it took even longer, over 25 years from the first release of this album, to determine that this song variation existed on a U.S. release.

This is the original printed in the U.S.A. release for the U.S. Armed Forces stationed in Germany that was distributed in 1956 (?) and 1957. The cover and the record label read Printed in U.S.A. In the trail-off area of the record Manufactured in Germany is machine stamped. The cover reads LPM-1382 on both sides. The record label reads LPM-1382. It has the PX stamp on the back cover. The cover is slippery and shiny on both sides.37
