Released: March 1959:
Sound Format: mono
UK Album No: (07)
This album used the same 1956 publicity photographs for the front and rear cover as the american album: "For LP Fans Only".
But that's where the similarity ends: The track-listings are different, as the U.S. album has ten songs, the U.K. one has fourteen.
Like the previous "Golden Records" release, this album also contained no new material.
NOTE: There was no reference to the artist's name or album title anywhere on the front sleeve, possibly the first LP to do so.
NOTE: This LP was issued using the matrix number K2PP. K2 = 1959 PP = Mono LP
Side 1: K2PP 0015 Side 2: K2PP 0016
This album was kept in stock by issuing re-pressings with the same catalogue number until it was deleted by RCA in November 1970.
