Released: September 1965:

Sound Format: mono

UK Album No: (25)

This album was only issued in mono. The original idea was to release an LP in 1963, titled: "Elvis For You" (RD 7586) and at that time it didn't include "Are You Lonesome Tonight" or "It's Now Or Never" as part of it's contents. As explained earlier, RCA never issued "Elvis For You" and British fans had to wait until now to get "Flaming Star" and "Summer Kisses" which up until this point were never released in the U.K.

NOTE: This LP was issued using the matrix number S2PP. S2 = 1965 plus older material

PP = Mono LP

Side 1: S2PP 9052 Side 2: S2PP 9053

This album was kept in stock by issuing re-pressings with the same catalogue number

until it was deleted by RCA in September 1970.
