FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The original came out in the US in 1963 on RCA Victor. This record is a 1987 reissue on RCA International for the UK and European market.

Which period of Elvis does it cover?
The collection spans hits from 1960 to 1962, the years right after his army service in Germany. Ballads like “It’s Now Or Never” and “Are You Lonesome To-Night?” sit next to several songs by the Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman team.

What does Media VG+ and better / Cover VG+ mean?
“VG+ and better” means the record is at least VG+, with some areas in better shape. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that hardly affect playback. For the sleeve, VG+ means light wear such as edge wear or light ring wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
