Another posthumous re-issue, that was released a couple of months after Elvis died.
I’ve already posted the original US release here.
The cover describes the release as a “Limited Edition,” but that was almost certainly a marketing gimmick. These records sold extremely well, and the pressing run was likely substantial.
List price: No current listing price was found. Discogs reports a median sale price of €2.35, although one copy sold on eBay for €58 in 2008—clearly, someone wanted it badly. 😊
