This is a chronology of the Elvis Presley discography. A checklist of all releases from the first run through the final run using the original RCA catalog numbers. Issues and alternate catalog numbers are not part of this guide, nor are label variations of font size, text placement, abbreviated and full text, and other variables.

Elvis Presley 33 1/3 RPM Record Guide (US) Checklist
The great Elvis Presley LP catalog is too large to put into one table. In the seemingly endless flow of releases and re-releases, there are patterns which I have broken into the following groups. These tables are not universally accepted in terminology, however, are universally accurate and true. I have visually identified the following catalog and populated the tables accordingly. However, question marks exist where these titles are identified in the price guides and I have not visually seen or these are not identified in the guides, however, seem plausible to exist. These selection changes as album variations are identified.

Long Play / Electronically Reproduced Stereo
Originally, this selection of albums were released exclusively as long play monaural with the prefix LPM to the catalog number. As the technology permitted, this catalog was re-issued in electronically reproduced stereo, also referred to as simulated stereo. This re-issued selection prepends the prefix LSP to the catalog number. LSP for Long Stereo Play. The early 1962 releases of this selection do not contain the (e) at the end of the catalog number on the covers. The (e) is for Electronically Reproduced.

Beginning with the selection of albums, RCA released each release simultaneously in both Living Stereo or true Stereo and in long play monaural.

Long Play / “Silver” Stereo
RCA transitioned from the Living Stereo to Stereo on the record labels. This group of releases were originally offered with the Stereo label, also known as the “Silver” Stereo label. The “Silver” Stereo area was a very short run.

Long Play / “White Top” Stereo
In 1964, the RCA catalog was re-introduced with RCA Victor in white and all other print in silver, including the word Stereo on the bottom of the label. This group of albums were originally released with the “White Top” Stereo label.

Orange Labels (Rigid, non-flexible vinyl.)
With the announcement of the now known as Elvis’ Comeback Special, the signature album commemorating the event also commemorated the introduction of the new orange label. This grouping of albums were all released with a hard, non-flexible vinyl. Some labels with the two inch diameter circle in label are referred to as rigid vinyl labels. Even those without the circle have been referred to as rigid vinyl, however, a more appropriate term may be non-flexible vinyl.

The introduction of 2A is added to this and subsequent tables to differentiate the tan label sides labeled as Side 1 / Side 2 and Side A / Side B. Originally, this was not added as there was only one known variation, now there are three!

Orange Labels (Flexible vinyl.)
As technology evolved, the standard became a flexible vinyl, that is lighter and considerably more flexible than their predecessors. Some releases include the term “Dynaflex”. All but Welcome to My World, Moody Blue, and the Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii are originally releases in orange labels.

Although these tables break down the majority of the album releases, there are always exceptions to the rule or to the pattern. I have tried to capture each release in the tables above.

The tables are only a piece of the Elvis Presley album collecting puzzle. The generalizations tabled above incorporate and represent the existence of a particular Elvis release with regards to label color. Other variations to the label, include font size, text placement, abbreviated text vs. full text, and other variables that years of producing and different printing plants may introduce.
