I’ve been to just about every major library in Australia digging up material for my Australian discography and the Cadillac book. Unfortunately, a lot of the RCA material is lost but I have collected some bit by bit over many years.

It seems RCA Australia stopped producing cartridges by 1977 as every new release sheet I have seen from 1977 makes mention of record and cassette only.

From RCA Australia information that I have here:

Just went through my very small collection of Cut-out lists I have on record, and this is when RCA Australia stop production of the following cartridges:

Rock N On Vol.1 TSP8S 135 – Cut out 1 August 1981 (cartridge only)

Elvis In The 70s TSP8S 167 – Cut out 1 December 1980 (cartridge only)

Rock N On Vol.2 TSPS 141- Cut out 31 March 1980 (cartridge only)

Blue Hawaii P8S 1019 – Cut out 31 March 1977 (cartridge only)

Elvis’ Golden Records Vol.3 P8S 1057 – Cut out 31 March 1977 (cartridge only)

Elvis Sings Flaming Star ACS1-0674 – Cut out 31 March 1977 (cartridge only)

Almost In Love ACS1-0381 – Cut out 31 March 1977 (cartridge only)

Elvis Today APS1-1039 – Cut out 31 March 1977 (cartridge only)

Some catalogues on my list have an ‘8’ or ‘B’ for what may be the same listing. My list and this update are exactly how it is in the catalogues and cut-out lists.

Blue Hawaii and Gold Records Vol 3 is example of where an ‘8’ or a ‘B’ has been used throughout the catalogues and cut-out lists.
