Here we have something very
rare.
A mispressed and mislabeled Elvis RCA/BMG Germany CD.
Covers are the original ones from the 1991 "NBC TV Special" release,
Germany ND 83894
The CD plays the same tracks as on all other releases, but...on the
label we do not see any ELVIS or RCA or BMG!!
The label is from a classic CD released by the Parnass label:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Die schönsten Konzerte
The matrix no. "SONOPRESS F-1473 / ND83894 A" is identical to the 1991
RCA/BMG release from Germany (click on CD to see it).

A misprinted disc from "Elvis' Greatest Jukebox Hits". This one was
released in September 1998 in the U.S.
This disc has a total different design than the actual "Elvis' Greatest
Jukebox Hits" disc.
The catalog no. on the disc is 07863-67465-2, while the correct catalog
no. must be 07863-67565-2.
Also on the disc is printed the wrong title, The disc is titled "Elvis'
Gold Records Volume 4" instead of the correct title.
The right scan is the correct disc!

Well,
at first glance it looks like the German pressing "Elvis
Presley" from 1991.
What is wrong with this one? As you can see on the matrix number this is not the
correct label and so you can hear songs by John Denver.
Yes - 20 tracks from the good old John Denver instead of Elvis.

It
looks like the 1991 "Danske Single Hits" CD and that is correct, but if you put
the CD in your player you will hear: Patti Austin with her
album "Love Is Gonna Getcha"..
Although the original CD is hard to find, this CD is even harder to find (if you
ever find one). It is made in Switzerland for the Danish market.

Well, yes, you may have one like it,
but not this one. It is the 1994 CD releases from the "Definitive Love
Album" with one difference: It does not have Elvis on it,
You will hear the German punk rock band: 'Normahl' with their album
"'Auszeit".

The
two discs are identically - same matrix number - but as you can see on

unusual, but we have seen discs without color on the picture side
before.

At first glance it looks like the standard
pressing from 1989. But if you take a closer look on the CD print
you'll see only 12 tracks listed.
CD plays 15 tracks.... as it should be.
We can't figured out why the CD has the number ND 83935! For normal it
must be PD 83935.
There is also no known release which have only 12 tracks.

We all know the 'Suspicious Minds' shaped CD, but here we have an
'unchaped' (nearly) version. If you enlarge the picture it's easy to
see that only a very little piece of the disc is cut away.
The cutting machine must have been out of order.
A real curiosity you won't see everyday.

There is no matrix number pressed on the disc. Instead of the matrix number 'Sonopress
xxxx' you see only FI 1207.
As on the Hong Kong release the lower half of the CD as well the "ribs" are
white instead of silver/grey. On backcover you can read "Printed in Germany"!
Something don't match.
So far we don't know what that means. Is it a miss pressing, a test pressing......a
bootleg?
If you know anything about this, please let us know.
