Camden CAS-2440 Almost In Love (Elvis Presley) with Undocumented Variation
Elvis Almost in Love was originally released on the RCA budget record label, Camden Records in November 1970 as catalog number CAS-2440 and contained only ten songs. There was a later release on Pickwick Records with the same catalog number released in December 1975. Both releases included some un-released studio and soundtrack recordings that had never been released before this LP first appeared in 1970. The value of these records are only a couple of dollars more than their original cover price. However, collecting this particular record can keep you hunting for a while, there are many variations. The images provided are from my personal collection.
