German 45's - Yearcovers

The term Yearcover is used for a batch of reissues from the late 60's and early 70's. These are easy to recognize because they have a year printed on the cover. All covers are preprinted without titles and numbers. Titles and numbers are printed later. The preprinted covers can be found in 10 different variations, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963 and two different 1964 printings. Strangely enough, no 1963 cover has surfaced with nubers and titles. Thanks to Radermacher and Kühnel this 1963 cover was brought to light. Now nearly 20 years later, no other copy has turned up except for the cover print shown in Rillen Revue - Teil 2. The same story is valid for the first 1964 variations with old RCA logo. Most of the records listed can be found with black or orange RCA Victor labels. If you have, or know more titles than listed here please let me know and I will add it to this list. All additional information will be acknowledged.
