"Green Green Grass Of Home" was taken from the album: "I Can Help And Other Great Hits" (PL 89287)
​
The image on the front sleeve of this single was inspired by Elvis' 1969 press conference in Las Vegas. The original painting was created by Belgian Fan Club member Laura Janssens. Early variations of this sleeve when unfolded, revealed a large double-sided poster with one side using the same image. The flip side used a photograph from the movie "Double Trouble".
