Elvis vinyl mastered by Boppin' Bob Jones

[AndrewJ]

Thank you for the photos I was not aware that he cut Clambake as well! I would have liked to see ole Bob's face when was trying to tweak the high frequenzies on let's say... Confidence

I included Clambake by mistake. It should have been Elvis Country

I need to redo the whole photo with the recent additions

Well photo from @AndrewJ above has Something For Everybody,so that means that at least BBJ has cut it.

In my green label INTS version there is no sign whatsoever of who cut it. The deadwax reads only "INTS 5135 A-IU". Then there is small symbol that actually looks like the number "7" written sideways. I dont't know if that says anything to anyone(?)

Of the 20 Greatest vol. 1, I only have the German black label pressing...

Yes, BBJ definitely cut my version of SFE as it has his signature.

I have both the green and black versions of 20 Greatest Hits Vol 1 and neither are BBJ.

Does anyone have any clue about that Aloha From Hawaii DPS 2040 in Bilbo's list... what year's pressng is that exactly? Is thatt with orange öabel or something else?

I don't recall anyone mentioning here that they own a BBJ pressing of Aloha or telling us how it sounds.

I received the pressing mentioned above in the mail today...

Bob's name isn't in the runout, but that does not mean he didn't (or did) cut it of course. The sound is great though.

So we have:

+ Great sound, could mean BBJ
+ year of issue, fits within the BBJ timeframe
+ mentioned on discogs as "laquer cut by Bob Jones"

- no name in the deadwax

So that means, possibly BBJ, but no proof!

IMAGES is CR061 NOT CA
THAT`S THE WAY IT IS 5137 (not 5037) (black label)

and BBJ also did these, and although you have them listed already, these are different configurations;

Thanks for all the input so far. Keep 'em coming!

@Bilbobaggins ,could you add the label colors for all as well? For example:

- fior SF pressings,only black labels can be BBJ mastered
- for Golden Rec vol 4, both green and blue labels can be BBJ mastered
...etc.

For most of the INTS titles in you list, obviously it should only say "green label"

Sorry, but no. I will add only titles and matrixnumbers, with a few excptions... My intention was a basic list. But as I said before... feel free to copy and add.

can someone direct me to the the BBJ version of FOR LP FANS ONLY from Germany?? I can`t seem to find it on Discogs?? thanks

This should be the one:

https://www.discogs.com/release/4071901 ... -Fans-Only

Made in Germany, 1989. The B.J. at the end of the matrix/runout should stand for Bob Jones. It's only that the LP matrix is NL 90359, instead of LSP 1990.

And wasn't it so that the -89 pressing has the RCA lightning bolt logo on the black label

and some corrections;
THAT`S THE WAY IT IS 5137 (not 5037) (black label)

@Sweet-Angeline,don't you actually mean that INTS 5137 is a green label? It would make sense that such a pressing would have been mastered by BBJ.

The UK versions with catalog number of SF 8162 is a black label,but do you mean that it has also been mastered by BBJ?

I want to be sure since I have created the next iteration of the master list of BBJ pressings to the very first posting in this thread,and I would like it to be correct

my copy is of the BBJ etching in the dead wax is a black label with silver lettering...hope this helps...the INTS 5137 is just a see through sticker over top of SF 8162

Thank you,that was precisely the info that I was looking for. I consider that as a SF... pressing because I assume that's what it reads on the (black) label as well(?) I'll update the list accordingly.
