Released in October 1964, the album reached the #1 spot on the Billboard Album Chart, famously displacing The Beatles’ "A Hard Day's Night." The sessions were recorded at Radio Recorders in Hollywood and feature the Jordanaires on backing vocals. The album includes a diverse range of tracks, from the rocking "Little Egypt" to the movie's title track, capturing the quintessential Hollywood Elvis sound. Condition Cover: Excellent (EX). The cover is still preserved in its original factory shrink wrap (opened). No splits, one corner show wear and tears. (See pics) Vinyl: Near Mint Minus (NM-) Labels: Pristine "Dog on Top" labels with no spindle marks or writing. Inner Sleeve: Includes the original 1964 RCA "Great LP Catalog" paper inner sleeve. Notes for collectors This copy is a confirmed First Edition. In 1964, RCA Victor used the "Black Label" with the "Nipper" dog logo at the top, which is present here. This specific pressing is highly desirable due to the original shrink wrap, which has kept the cover in near-perfect condition for over 60 years. Unlike later reissues on orange or tan labels, these original black labels are preferred by audiophiles for their superior pressing quality and weight. The "2S" and "4S" matrix suffixes indicate that this record was pressed using very early master stampers, providing the most authentic sound reproduction possible.
