All of Elvis' 1950ies singles were re-released in March 1959 with new catalog numbers (447-) in RCA Victor's Gold
Standard Series. In June 1964, five of them were pressed on the new white promotional label and distributed to DJ's with
completely new (or revised) picture sleeves, mainly displaying promotional pictures from the movie 'Kissin Cousins'. These
five picture sleeves were distributed for a relatively short period and are highly sought-after top dollar collector's items today.
