This was a re-issue of Elvis' debut HMV album. So essentially this was the first time it was available on the RCA label. Unfortunately the classic front cover was changed using a more modern image from his 1968 TV Special. The mono tracks were updated with the "electronic stereo" makeover. The classic front cover was replaced with a photo from the 1968 NBC TV Show, and the catalogue number had now changed.
NOTE: This LP was issued using the matrix number A2PY.
A = 1971 + 2 = older material PY = Stereo LP
Side 1: A2PY 0686 Side 2: A2PY 0687
NOTE: This album was kept in stock by re-pressings using this catalogue number. It was later assigned a new catalogue number when released on the International Label in 1981.
