* StylisticSuck: Early British pressings included a deliberately mispressed cover, in which the cover image is positioned so off-center that the first letters in "Elvis" and "This" are out-of-view while the color blocks[[note]]used in factories to test for ink deficiencies; most people recognize them as those weird colorful circles on food packaging[[/note]] are ''in''-view. Nearly all reissues "corrected" this error; either no one got the memo that it was ''supposed'' to look like the printer fucked up, or [[ViewersAreMorons they feared audiences wouldn't get the joke]].\\
A few reissues did feature the original cover, misprinting and all, such as Japanese CD editions from 2003, 2006, and 2008, and US LP editions from 2010, 2015, and 2019. Also the 2007 Hip-O Records CD version is an odd compromise: It's a digipak featuring the "corrected" version of the UK cover art on the front, while the liner notes booklet combines the printing error with the alternate photo from the ''American'' cover art.

A Date With Rosie Palms is no longer a trope


* ADateWithRosiePalms: Inevitably comes to mind when hearing "The Beat", between its title and lines like:
-->''On the beat, on the beat\\
Till a man comes along and he says,\\
"Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?\\
Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ"''

* AlternateAlbumCover: The British/European, American, and Scandinavian covers all have variations on three of the four cover/inner sleeve photos. The front always has Elvis at the camera, the back always has Elvis and the Attractions posing in a UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity hotel room, and one side of the innersleeve always has a gloved hand holding a mini-TV whose screen shows a shot from the group's ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' appearance; however, all three images are slightly different on each release. Only the other innersleeve photo (mannequin body parts in front of a row of washing machines) is the same on each version.

** "You Belong to Me" sounds a great deal like Music/TheRollingStones around the time of ''Music/AftermathAlbum''. Also, the melody bears more than a passing resemblance to the Stones' "The Last Time".
