Denmark 45 Discography
By Bob Pakes / Bianca and Heinz Godlinski
Welcome to the complete discography of Elvis Presley’s Danish 45’s !
Much has been said about Elvis’ single releases from Denmark: sometimes the Danish got the A and B sides reversed, some covers have a spelling-mistake, some covers only had a front inlay and no back insert, in the 60’s RCA Denmark mainly borrowed their 45 covers from RCA Germany, and of course they only used about 3 or 4 different images of Elvis for all of their 1950’s covers. But on the other hand, and when compared to other countries, the 50’s Danish pressings at least had a picture of Elvis on the cover, and some even had 3 different covers! These Danish pressings are not that rare, and they are not so expensive either. But it is quite a task to find them in mint condition since most covers are in a dreadfull state and usually very discoloured.

WOW !
It’s about time to have the complete Danish discography online.
Thanks for your effort again !
Great Work!
Lots of it I haven’t seen! I just have two Danish singles until now! Thank you!
Brilliant records and sleeves.
Fantastic topic. Excellent research as always. :-)
I never had Danish records in my collection; nice to see these rare sleeves.
In the 80’s I only had a handful picture disc LP’s s from Danmark but later on it was clear that they were produced in the Netherlands. For copy right reasons Danmark was mentioned for production of these picture discs.

Great work, Bob.
Very nice to see all those sleeves and labels collected together, with all the small variations, etc.
Thanks for the article !
In research and presentation, nowadays, nobody does it better than you, Bob!
I would never collect these 45s from Denmark…but I do enjoy
looking at them…no matter how badly the printing of the sleeves
was…they have a certain amateuristic charm..!
I am from Denmark, and I collect Danish Elvis records.
There are 28 singles. Of these, 20 are with original Danish cover in different variations, and 8 are with German covers.
Kind Regards Bjørn.
Some great rarities, keep up the good work Bob.
