An alluring addition to any comprehensive discography arrives in the form of this scarce 1984 Australia and New Zealand release of the Elvis Presley - A Touch Of Gold Volume 3 EP. While this specific vinyl reissue was manufactured down under in the mid-1980s, it preserves an iconic configuration that was originally introduced by RCA in 1959. The original late-fifties initiative served to keep the King's material flowing to global fans during his army service years, making this modern antipodean press a highly unusual late-era manifestation of a classic archival piece.

The visual identity of this reissue relies on a smooth tan RCA Victor label, a design configuration housed within a delicate, era-accurate wraparound picture sleeve. The track curation offers an incredible cross-section of early rockabilly and rock and roll mastery. Side A presents the driving, chart-topping swagger of "All Shook Up" alongside the melodious "Don't Ask Me Why", whilst Side B shifts gears into the heavy syncopation of "Too Much" before closing out with his historic, reimagined Sun Records cover of "Blue Moon Of Kentucky".

Deadwax enthusiasts evaluating the matrix configuration will find clean, dual-method markings featuring 20627-A A1A2 DB AT on the first side and 20627-B A1A1 DB AT on the flip, pressed under regional Catalogue No. 20627.This specific archive copy achieves a highly commendable VG+/EX condition grade. The fragile wraparound picture sleeve remains wonderfully clean, exhibiting only a small amount of light creasing from careful storage, whereas the vinyl disc itself is in excellent, pristine condition. The surfaces retain an intense, brilliant gloss with virtually no signs of play wear, promising a top-tier listening experience of these historical recordings.
