Front sleeve - "HELP US HYPE ELVIS
Today is your lucky day. In your hands, an unashamed promotional scam courtesy of Stiff Records. We are trying to sell records and make Elvis a huge star. He is trying to pay off his mortgage. You have been recommended by .......... who was courteous enough to pay the postage. We were gracious enough to pay the album costs. El waived his royalties. So now we've done our bit - you do yours. Clamp your ears around this disc. If you like it spread the word. Play it. Pollute the metropolis. If you don't like it, remember that we know who you are and that we have your address. Our address is Stiff Records, 32 Alexander Street, London W2.
All feedback not unwelcome."
Rear sleeve - Sleeve: "Special thanks to: The Rumor, Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, and everyone else who made it all possible"
