1970
worldwide 50 gold award hits 
(4lp box set)

in 1970, elvis was the first rock artist to earn a classical-style box 

set reissue of his hits. worldwide 50 gold award hits was four full 

lp´s packaged in a handsome set of a kind never before seen in rock 

music, much less rock & roll.

in the u.s. this box was also released  in the form of two "2lp sets".

please look in the "series" chapter.

lsrca-70851/2/3/4 / yugoslavia 

this cover is completely different than the u.s. and german release

(see lsp-6401). also included was a 16 page booklet made by col. 

parker´s company "all star shows" (see pics below).

                      

lsp-6401 / germany (reissue early 1980´s)

please note: 

while the album number (lsp-6401) indicates a stereo release, all 

tracks are mono. also the photo book (as announced on cover) 

wasn´t included in this reissue.

the other sides - 
worldwide gold award hits 
volume 2 (4lp box set)

this box set was conceived in 1970 along with it´s predecessor 

"lsp-6401", but went trough many changes before it´s release in 

august 1971. the folks at rca-victor weren´t too shure about the 

title. in april 1971 it was called "a touch of gold - elvis" and 

subsequently "backed with gold - elvis". a few weeks later it became 

"a touch of gold from worldwide 50 gold award hits volume 2" (!!??) 

before involving into it´s designated title. in addition to the 50 gold

award hits, the set also offered two special bonus items: "something 

from elvis ´wardrobe for you" and a "large full colour pullout 

reproduction of elvis!" in plain terms this meant that fans troughout 

the world would receive a piece of elvis ´clothing and a colour 

poster. though the clothing swatches were genuine, there was no 

guarantee that elvis actually wore each piece.

pickwick pack (7lp set)

of course the name "pickwick pack" is not an official one. it is a 

specially wrapped package of 7 lp´s first released on the 

"rca-camden" label and later reissued by the "pickwick label" in 

cooperation with rca. the first version appeared in november 1978. 

a second one in february 1979. the only difference is that with the 

second edition "elvis´christmas album" was replaced with "frankie & 

johnny". there are also rumours that a third version with 6 lp´s 

exist, but i can´t confirm this. if you ever have the chance to get one

in a sealed condition - don´t open it! you´ll find the real value in the

still sealed ones.

elvis aron presley (8lp box set)

beautiful package produced by rca´s joan deary to celebrate the 

25th anniversary of elvis signing with rca victor. includes a 20 page 

photo and information booklet (pictured below). as an additional 

challenge to the elvis collector, there are 11 different limited edition

numbers found on this set - one letter prefix for each letter in the 

spelling of elvis aron presley. to complete the collection requires 11

different box sets, one each with the letters e-l-v-i-s-a-r-o-n-p-y. it´s 

safe to aproximate that a full set of the 11 boxes would be valued 

somwhat higher than 11 times the worth of a single set. (take a look 

at the 3rd picture below)
