Although it's catalogue number shows is was due for an earlier release, circa October 1956, the distribution of the record was held back to coincide with the release in the UK of the movie.

A side Love Me Tender (Presley - Matson)	B side Anyway You Want Me (That's How I Will Be) (Schroeder - Owens)
A side RT tax code	.
A side XT tax code 1957 re-pressing	. 1957 re-pressing
. 1957 re-pressing	B side XT tax code 1957 re-pressing

There's no doubt that a 1956 original pressing with an RT tax code on the B side exists as it's 50-50 as to which side gets pressed with the tax code already embossed on the shellac. None of the discs I have are. I have multiple copies of the same disc with 3 discs having the RT tax code on the A side.
