Well it's a great way to start of an EP collection, with this UK unique EP, Most of the world followed the USA with their Love Me Tender Cover. We however did not. Making this EP a worldwide collectable. Obtaining a UK variation is no longer the chore it once was pre E-bay days. Expect to pay however close to the £100 for a EX- copy. £120 is probably what you will have to pay for one with the HMV logo at the bottom right, on the rear cover. If your pockets are ultra deep try getting hold of an optional centre variation, Expect to pay £150+ if you ever are lucky enough to see one.
