This record sold 1000 times fewer than Elvis Presley’s EPA-992. Assuming that at the time of these numbers that EPA-992 sold 1,000,000 copies, then only 1000 copies sold of this EP. However, according to a December 8, 1956 edition of Billboard Magazine on page 40, “over 500,000 sold in only one month…”, this making the EPA-689 even rarer at only 500 copies. In any case, this is a MEGA RARE extended play. It is not even listed in a recent Osborne Cyberguide.
There are a couple of differences between the EPA-689 regular retail issue front cover and that of the promotional issue of RCA Victor EPA-992 /EPA-689 Elvis / Jaye P. Morgan (EP) cover.

2. This is a closeup of part of the original retail cover. The RCA Victor box touches the head of Jaye P. Morgan. A “NEW ORTHOPHONIC” HIGH FIDELITY RECORDING” is in all caps.
