First pressing sleeves of 1/60 could have contained both the Tri centre or the RCA logo 45s. All had front only laminated sleeves, with foldovers top and bottom.

 

 

 

 

 

RCA Victor pressed sleeves could have contained both ones with printer's dates i.e., 2/64 or 4/65 as shown above, or could have contained no printer's dates but had Made In England bottom left, and Printed In England, bottom right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first orange label knockout centre pressings had sleeves almost identical to the latter RCA Victor releases. The only difference being the removal of the text Printed In England bottom Right.

Red's Price Guide
Well not much has to be said about the Tri centre release for this EP, as you all know it was to my knowledge the only time a tri centre had been pressed in 1959 and released in 1960. The numbers are very small and many collectors maintain that the numbers could be as low as 100 copies. To add my own two pennies worth, I also find it bizarre that the label would not mention the Gold Standard Series and am surprised any were released. As you can imagine prices for the first issue can range from £100-200, depending on quality. Other label variations also command a higher than average premium, making this a nice addition to any Elvis collection.
