ELVIS PRESLEY - That's The Way It Is

Item Description

Vinyl,
LP Album Unofficial Release

While the cover of this record seeks to pass it off as a legitimate version of RCA-Victor LSP-4445 - even down to claiming "Printed in U.S.A." on the back - it is in fact an unofficial release (or "pirate" record as they were known in Southeast Asia).

The KKK record label was never registered at the Singapore Patent Office as claimed, since no such label officially existed. The pirates even had the nerve to print "unauthorised...copying of this record prohibited" around the edge of the label when that is exactly what they were doing!

Note that all titles are as shown on the labels (there are some minor differences to the list of titles printed in the centre of the back cover.

The title sequence varies from that on the original release, and includes some extra titles and tracks. Strangely, the back cover also lists the original titles in the correct sequence ( showing 6 tracks each side when the record actually has seven).

Finally, the catalogue number of this release was also assigned to another completely different record on the KKK label ("Let It Be" by the Beatles).
