This new volume:
- Complements - and extends considerably - information relating to these particular releases included in our original booksElvis UK, published in 1987, and Elvis UK2, published in 2002 (for example, the EP section in Elvis UK (1987) was a mere 46 pages; Extended runs to 490 pages)

- Where appropriate, each EP release is cross-referenced with its US counterpart and key differences discussed
- Includes a chronological list of all the EPs included
- Discusses each extended play album individually, in a detailed and forensic way, while the extensive text is amply illustrated with scans of every known cover and label variation, relevant photographs, and scans of contemporaneous newspaper and magazine articles and adverts
- Features a header block for each album release comprising information about the songs or spoken word material included, release dates, along with details about the writers, as well as showing the record mode
- Includes hitherto unpublished information from company files, including first-hand input from some of those who worked directly on certain important releases e.g. The two EP Collections
- Incorporates historically significant events of the period throughout the narrative
- Chronicles and dates all changes to various company logos used
