Well, there is little I can say about this release that has not been written a million times before. I guess the bottom line is if you have this in your collection (in any decent condition) then you are well on your way to collecting UK Elvisvinyl. As you all know these were only available for a small amount of time and due to the popularity of the LP most were played to death, also the cover is of the flimsiest paper HMV could find, hence the state of most of them now. For hardcore collectors there are three label variations and three sleeve variations currently known. Expect to pay £40 for a beat up copy with half the cover missing or taped together. A decent VG+ copy should set you back about £200, an excellent copy with similar sleeve will see you paying in the high £700s, although most of these have already found their homes with UK collectors. Bizarrely enough some that went out to Japan in the 90s for a grand plus are slowly making their way back to our shores for about the same money
