If that sleeve has a wavy top edge, and I think it does, it is the original one.
-
The year for this is 1977. RCA Victor were cranking out hundreds of these, all with cardboard pic sleeves, in the wake of Elvis' ing.
-
47-7777 manufactured in just for the US Army (G.I. pressing) and sale just in the PX store.
Copyright Info from 7.13.1960 -
"It's Now or Never" is one of my favorite records. It's not just the song, but the arrangement and the tension between Elvis and rest of the instrumentation and voices by The Jordanaires. Operatic, and I believe the song is based on an Italian pop song, it's interesting to hear a European melody attached to a solid American aesthetic such as Elvis. The songwriters Aaron Schroeder and Wally Gold also wrote Elvis' "Good Luck Charm." To me, this is a sound that is separate from his work in the 1950s. It has a dramatic flair, that is cinematic, and the cha-cha rhythm slowed down and then speeded up is a remarkable work of tension. "A Mess of Blues" the b-side is written by Doc Pomus and the always fascinating Mort Schuman, who later had recordings in , and became associated with the songs of Jacques Brel. It's a strange world, and Elvis has always struck me as a man from another world - like his fellow label mate, David Bowie. -
RCA 47-7777 is Manufactured in , but just for the US Army (Copyright Info 13. July 1960) german S 5 Label with silver Triangle

referencing It's Now Or Never (7", Single, 45 RPM) 4/60208
Cat No. on this NZ release is 4/60208. Not 4/50208.

This was the first German Elvis single with a picture sleeve. -
This great classic also came out as a Living Stereo 7" 45 45-617777 and was the second of 4 early 60's EAP singles to do so.
Absolutley knock out in Stereo. Two great original 69 70 RCA singles were sadly and pontlessly over looked for stereo single release, Suspicious Minds and The Wonder Of You (SM had to wait a long time for a proper and matched to the mono single Stereo release crazy or what!) These tracks were after Zager & Evans etc. -
