45rpm Single Sleeve detail changes:

 

Type 3:

This sleeve was a pale yellow colour with red printing,
 

The HMV logo was located at the bottom-centre of the front sleeve, contained a picture of the dog 'Nipper' listening to a gramophone with the words "His Master's Voice" underneath.

​

Boxed instructions on both sides stated that:

THIS RECORD MUST BE PLAYED AT 45 REVS. PER MINUTE (left-centre) and

The use of "EMITEX" cleaning material (available from record dealers) will preserve this record and keep it free from dust. (right-centre).

​

On the rear of the sleeve across a red banner the following could be found:

​

Type 4:

This sleeve was a red and white design showing people dancing. It was identical to the 78rpm variation. As with type 3, this became available on an Elvis release around June 1957. 

​

The older variations were still being used up, so it was normal to find the same Elvis single in different sleeves.
