Like most RCA reissues in the 1970s of Presley's early material, the original monophonic recordings were in reprocessed ("fake") stereophonic sound. The cover photo of Presley was taken from the worldwide television broadcast Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite that was seen earlier in the year. The double album was also available on 8-track and cassette tape formats.
Reissues After Presley's unexpected death in August 1977, a limited edition numbered commemorative version on gold vinyl was available for a few years. Early copies included a photo album and a certificate of authenticity.
