pictures of elvis volume 1

between 1982 and 1987 the "all round trading" label released

severall records.(by elvis and many other famous artists).

however, this lp´s and box sets only included material from

the 1950´s. in those day´s denmark had different copyright laws

which meant, that 25 years after their release, recordings became

"public domain" . though the records were released in denmark, most

of them where pressed in germany. this records could be regulary

sold in the eu. most of their albums were also available as picture

discs. in 1987 they came up with a label called "maybelene" where

about 100 picture disc singles were released. the "all round trading"

label disappeared in late 1987.
