Production, Artwork and Packaging
Unlike ELV1S, 2nd to None was not produced by David Bendeth but was instead produced by Ernst Mikael Jorgensen and Ray Bardani. Bardani also mixing many of the songs on the collection with the assistance of Matt Snedecor, while the tape transferring and mastering on the recordings were handled by Andreas Meyer and Vic Anesini, respectively.
The artwork and design for the American and European releases of the album are different from one another. The American release's artwork is very similar to ELV1S having the art direction and design by the same person, Thomas Vasquez, and both had album covers that were both similar to 1 by The Beatles. The European release's artwork, however, was very different from either ELV1S or 1 with the album cover consisting of a picture of Elvis' head and the number 2 against a black background. The European release's art direction and design was handled by a different person, Mike Jurkovac.
