The sleeve features a portrait of Presley in a patterned shirt, typical of his early 1960s RCA aesthetic. The rear sleeve lists contemporary RCA releases including tracks by Sam Cooke and Neil Sedaka.

Released in March 1962, 'Good Luck Charm' reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. This German pressing reflects the massive European market for Presley's work during his post-army career. The catalog numbering system (47-xxxx) was the standard RCA Victor designation for 45 RPM singles during this era. The inclusion of German-language marketing text on the reverse was standard practice for Teldec (Telefunken-Decca), which pressed RCA records in West Germany during the 1960s.
