The July 1957 release of Elvis Presley’s Loving You album was in monaural only with catalog number LPM-1515. The album charted on the Billboard album chart for 29 weeks and spent 10 weeks at number one. The monaural issues were reissued throughout the 1960s up until 1968.
Many guides depict variations in record labels, but there is very little information for collectors to reference when it comes to the covers, particularly the backs.
This pictorial guide illustrates the differences between each release.
