​
Elvis' 2nd UK album was titled "Rock 'n' Roll No. 2", while in the U.S. it was simply called "Elvis". They both had the same tracklisting, but used a different front and rear cover. The UK front cover used a September 1956 publicity shot (around the same time the albums material was recorded).
​
NOTE: This LP was issued using the matrix number G2WP, (G = 1956, 2 = RCA Popular Music Release, W = Country and Western Genre, P = Mono) this was part of the RCA system not EMI. The reason could be because it had the same tracklisting as it's American counterpart. Pressings also had the R/T (1956) and X/T (1957) stamped around the spindle hole.
Side 1: G2WP 7207 Side 2: G2WP 7207
​
This album was later re-issued by RCA in December 1962. Using both mono and electronic stereo formats. (RD/SF 7528).
