- AAre you lonesome tonight
- BI gotta know
Elvis Presley's 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' backed with 'I Gotta Know' on RCA, catalogue 71.345.

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
