First pressings of the sleeve had the words "Recorded Live" on the front cover. RCA meant this as a reference to Elvis recording 'live' with his musicians. It was thought to be confusing with "recorded live in front of an audience" so later pressings had this removed. The front cover used a live shot of Elvis in concert in his hometown of Memphis in June 1975.
