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. It was also issued in electronic stereo instead of mono.

NOTE: This LP was issued using the matrix number A2PY.
A = 1971 + 2 = older material PY = Stereo LP
This re-issued version was given the A2 (1971) matrix and PY to it's "electronic stereo" makeover.
NOTE: This album was kept in stock by re-pressings using this catalogue number. It was later assigned a new number when released on the International Label in 1981.
