The U.K. album used the title "Harem Holiday" whereas in the United States it was called "Harum Scarum". The front cover looks like it included a reversed image of Elvis. The background image (top Right) looks correct.. The soundtrack material was pretty much the same routine as before...

NOTE: This LP was issued using the matrix number SPRS. SP = 1965 plus older material RS = Stereo LP

Side 1: SPRS 6764 Side 2: SPRS 6765

This album was kept in stock by issuing re-pressings with the same catalogue number until it was deleted by RCA in April 1969.
