Here you can see the RCA Camden
Classics CDs.
These RCA Special Products CDs were distributed by The Special Music Co.
All discs were pressed in Canada (first publication).
All CDs have the same tracks as the original LP releases.
The label was named
after Camden, New Jersey, original home to the Victor Talking
Machine Company, later RCA Victor.
From 1968 to 1975, RCA Camden issued a
series of compilation albums featuring recordings by Elvis Presley,
who recorded for the main RCA Victor label. These albums primarily
consisted of repackagings of Presley's 1960s-era movie soundtrack
recordings, however several albums, such as Elvis Sings Flaming Star
also featured previously unreleased material, while another album,
Let's Be Friends featured most of the soundtrack to Elvis' final
scripted film, Change of Habit. Two later compilations, Burning Love
and Hits from His Movies, Volume 2 and Separate Ways actually
featured then-current chart hits for Presley that were issued on LP
on RCA Camden, instead of the usual RCA Victor label. In 1975,
RCA leased the reissue rights of several different Camden albums,
including Presley's, to Pickwick Records, which subsequently
reissued several of them under its own branding. After Presley's
unexpected death in 1977, demand for his recordings increased
greatly; RCA soon terminated the reissue agreement with Pickwick
primarily to regain the rights to the Pickwick leased Presley titles,
and began reissuing and repackaging several of them. (wikipedia
