This album, like it's predecessor, included a 12 page souvenir booklet. The last page on the back was designed so that it could be cut off and used for framing purposes.
Later issues of this album had U.K records in American sleeves with a U.K. ZZ price code sticker on the rear. Both the U.K. and the U.S. front sleeves had a round cut out in the centre that showed the front photo on the inner sleeve.

​​
First pressings of the sleeve had the words "Recorded Live" on the front cover. RCA meant this as a reference to Elvis recording 'live' with his musicians. It was thought to be confusing with "recorded live in front of an audience" so later pressings had this removed. The front cover used a live shot of Elvis in concert in his hometown of Memphis in June 1975.
