On Apr-04-15 at 07:01:59 PDT, seller added the following information: Here's some Ripley's Believe or not That I have discovered
A controversial sleeve! "This is the first standard catalog Elvis
release since 1956 not issued with [a] picture sleeve. Any sleeve for
this single is a bootleg." "[I]t was learned that a full-color picture sleeve for this RCA single was being produced [as a bootleg]."
The picture sleeve was deleted by Joan Deary likely because Elvis is
posing with a cigar. The original printed artwork for the deleted cover
comes from Joan Deary’s personal collection.Apparently some original picture sleeves depicting Elvis with a cigar
survived a recall and deletion by a court order. No replacement picture
sleeve was issued in it's place.
