LPM 1707 Elvis' Golden Records (1958): Ultra rare edition for US staff stationed in West Germany. The record
itself is a regular German first pressing but the label is trying to emulate the US RCA Victor "dog on top" trade-
mark, which was not allowed for RCA to use in Europe, where it belonged to His Master's Voice (HMV).
