RCA Gold Standard Series (orange label) 45s

There is little documentation on the Gold Standard series 45s released by RCA in 1968 with the orange label. In fact, any documentation, that I have found is strictly pertaining to Elvis releases with this label. Recently, I have uncovered a small stash of these elusive singles by other artists, that are now available in this gallery.
