LP/Vinyl....and label differences?

Since there are many vinyl collectors here I have a question.
Looking through my old vinyl editions that are stored in boxes I noticed that there
are many label variations.
3 examples below........what labels are original and what are re-prints?
I think they did change the labels in the early 80s?
Regarding the bottom one I have a few titles with the 100% same label only the color is black with white writing....reprint?

label titles in pictures are:

On Stage ----- Love letters from Elvis
-----------------Country------------------------

none of those are original...each of them were first issued was on orange label in the US and most other countries I believe. The black is a 1977 or post 1977 re issue. The tan labels are also reissues.

here you'll find all the information you need.

Note on your pic of the Love letter album.

It says Dynaflex. This is a very flexible bendible record.

I think the idea was that it was harder to break it.

The opposite of dynaflex is a rigid record where there is no bend.

The rigid records also were thicker as the dynaflex album were very thin.

I always preferred the rigid myself.

Tan label records was mainly produced in a short period in 1976.
They can be more valued then the original.

I've always thought Dynaflex had a warmer more natural sound.

Here is a movie from 1956 how RCA victor produced rigid vinyl.Very interesting.

To be honest, I haven't played records for 20 years since I sold them off, so I can't
recall which sounded better.

I dont like the dynaflex editions either
No idea regarding sound though but I have read in the past that the ones
pressed in Indianapolis are the versions (sound quality)
