This is the great Elvis Presley Extended Play (EP) or depending on year of release and branding, the Economy Package catalog. The EP prefix is generally EPA, with a couple of notable exceptions. Many were only released once. Others were later reissued on the Gold Standard Series label, with the same prefix and new catalog number. Some guides would organize the EP collection by their title, which, where applicable, would combine the original release with their Gold Standard reissue. This EP guide, however, will reference each release by their unique catalog number. This catalog is sorted by release.

Gold Standard Series ("GSS") 45 RPM singles are prefixed with 447 as part of the catalog number. The labels may indicate an original point of reference, as the Dog on Top ("DOT") is generally identified with the series beginning in 1958. In 1965, the Dog on Side ("DOS") replaced the DOT label. The orange labels were introduced in 1968. The red labels were introduced in July 1969 (see Keith Flynn). The final label, Dog Near Top ("DNT") came into existence Aug. 1976 (PatrickM). The actual initial release dates were taken from the original LISTING NOTICEs for the GOLD STANDARD SINGLE RELEASEs used by RCA. Custom sleeves printed for the Gold Standard Series singles evolved throughout the years; and, many records from this series can be found sleeved in one of several different custom sleeves. Gold Standards can be found in generic white or brown sleeves and occasionally found shrink-wrapped to a cardboard.

This is the Elvis Presley LP catalog, organized by original release date. While in production, RCA reissued most titles with changes to the covers, catalog numbers, vinyl, and labels. The Long Play record—commonly referred to as an LP—is typically twelve inches in diameter, contains multiple tracks per side, and plays at 33⅓ RPM. All Elvis LPs were issued only as “Long Play” monaural until 1960, when new releases appeared simultaneously in both monaural and stereo formats. The “Long Play” designation on monaural pressings transitioned to “MONO” in 1963, then to “Monaural” from 1964 through 1968. In 1962, RCA reintroduced Elvis’s 1950s albums in Electronically Reprocessed Stereo, identified by the “(e)” suffix in the catalog number.

This is the great Elvis Presley singles catalog organized by original release date. Unlike the original pressings of the LPs, the 45s were only released once with prefix of "47-" and the 78s with prefix of "20-". Many were later re-released on the Gold Standard Series label, with the prefix of "447-" and new catalog number. From their beginning to the early 1970s, 45s were released in monaural format to accommodate for radio stations that had not converted to stereo. In some rare releases, the 45 was released simultaneously with the prefix of "61-" in "LIVING STEREO". Later, RCA changed their prefixes. This catalog is sorted by release.

This category includes Elvis Presley discs and tapes released without RCA Victor’s authorization, from small-press gray-market issues to bootlegs derived from radio broadcasts, concert recordings, acetates, studio outtakes, and other sources. Though legally murky and lacking official quality control, these releases offer collectors access to rare performances and alternate takes.
