Label change: RCA, with the release of this album, decided to change the long standing orange Victor label that was in place since 1969. They introduced a new personalised blue 'Elvis' label instead across their range of albums and singles. This label would also be chosen for re-pressings of various older LP's.

 

NOTE: Some albums were still released on the orange label after this one. Eventually the label was phased out.
