Elvis Presley on RCA 71.230 — 'Lover Doll' backed with 'New Orleans.' The 71.xxx catalogue format identifies this as a continental European RCA pressing, a companion to RCA 71.247 and 71.248 in this collection. Three consecutive continental RCA Elvis pressings in one collection is a notable grouping.AI summary
RCA 71.230 Rock
Elvis Presley on RCA 71.247 — 'I Need Your Love Tonight' backed with 'A Fool Such as I' — is a continental European RCA pressing, indicated by the 71.xxx catalogue format, rather than a standard UK or US release.

RCA 71.247 Rock
Elvis Presley on RCA 71.248 — 'I Got a Woman' backed with 'Just Because' — is a companion to RCA 71.247 in this collection. The 71.xxx series identifies this as a continental European RCA pressing, a distinct variant from UK domestic issues and of interest to collectors of Elvis on non-UK labels.AI summary
RCA 71.248 Rock
Elvis Presley's 'A Big Hunk o' Love' backed with 'My Wish Came True', issued on RCA 71.255 — likely a Continental European RCA pressing rather than a standard UK issue, given the catalogue format.

RCA 71.345 Rock
Elvis Presley's 'Surrender' backed with 'Lonely Man' on RCA, catalogue 71.400, in continental European numbering. 'Surrender' dates from 1961. Late-era Elvis 78s were pressed in small quantities as the format was superseded by the 45rpm single; this pressing's continental numbering suggests it was not a standard UK release.AI summary
RCA 71.400 Rock
An Elvis Presley 78rpm pressing of 'G.I. Blues' backed with 'Wooden Heart', both associated with his 1960 film of the same name, on RCA catalogue 71.401.

Elvis 78s from the very end of the format's life are less common than his 45s but are not scarce; the continental numbering warrants checking.AI summary
