Reproduction copies exist. There are several easy tell tale differences between the original and the reproduction. The bands play through without having to pickup the needle. The matrix numbers are hand etched. The two parallel lines on the original are complete from end to end of the label, while the reproduction has gaps between the edge of the label and the vinyl and the edge of the label and spindle hole.
Inserts: Two exist. Gray “Elvis Exclusively” and pink for suggested continuity.9 The pink insert is folded in half to form a 4 page booklet, printed on thick stock paper with a slight texture to it.
Odd Variation
An example appeared on eBay (ref. 220620202222, June 11, 2010). It is a white-label RCA Victor Record Prevue – Coming Attractions release, with typed contents. The label reads Not for Sale on one side, and the back shows a small hole punch near the spindle.
