Italian release from May 1964. This was a try-out made by italian RCA as test-marketing in attempting to increase the Extended Playing 45rpm' sales.
For the Picture Sleeve of this peculiar EP the italian RCA decided to use quite the same layouts as for those already used for the newly Elvis releases such as the "Kiss Me Quick" U.S. single and the "Viva Las Vegas" U.S. EP, believing that coupling such re-releases ("Rip It Up" was orginally put out on the EP format in 1957) with a totally renewed layout would have catched the eye of potential buyers. But that was not to happen! The EP format (and particularly Elvis) did not appeal anymore in 1964 resulting a FLOP the attempt made by the italian RCA to push up Elvis sales (as well as for other RCA artists) using this obsolete economy phonographic support. This EP was pressed in no more than 500 COPIES way back in May 1964 mainly distribuited to the few major record & TV-HIFI shops which would have the possibility to afford & order such issues from the 1964 italian RCA catalogue. Well the 99% of them went unsold and sent back to RCA which gave instructions to send for pulping such useless EP's inventory soonafter. So less than an handful of these have survived untill now hence their extremely rarity.
