FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
The album was first released by RCA Camden in 1972. This copy is the UK edition from the same year, manufactured for Pickwick International.

Why are "Guitar Man" and "Big Boss Man" bonus tracks?
Neither comes from a film. Both were recorded in the studio in 1967 and added as bonus songs to the "Clambake" soundtrack album; the back cover highlights them separately here.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is close to new with at most minimal signs of wear. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means the sleeve shows light signs of wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more Elvis Presley records?
Yes, for example Frankie And Johnny, Paradise, Hawaiian Style or 20 Film-Hits. More titles are in our Beat & Rock & Roll collection.
