NOTE: BLUE LABEL "elvis" logo REPRESSINGS ...
Sometime in 1979, RCA began replenishing stock levels by repressing the older orange label albums with the blue elvis label while retaining the orange catalogue number.
​
RCA re-pressings were mostly cut at their U.K. Washington plant, and came with the words "MANUFACTURED BY RCA LIMITED" on the bottom of the label. Later variants updated this to read "MARKETED BY RCA LIMITED".
