- AAre you lonesome tonight
- BI gotta know
Elvis Presley's 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' backed with 'I Gotta Know' on RCA, catalogue 71.345. The continental European catalogue numbering suggests this is not a standard UK RCA pressing; the record dates from 1960. Elvis 78s from the final years of the format were pressed in much smaller quantities than his 45s and are more uncommon than many collectors expect.AI summary

An Elvis Presley 78rpm pressing of 'G.I. Blues' backed with 'Wooden Heart', both associated with his 1960 film of the same name, on RCA catalogue 71.401.

Elvis 78s from the very end of the format's life are less common than his 45s but are not scarce; the continental numbering warrants checking.AI summary
