Epiphone Rivoli original pricing and catalogue appearances

The Rivoli was in production in 1963 and 1964 (see shipping stats), but it was not listed in US price lists for these years. Presumably the bulk of early production was for the export market - the Rivoli was certainly more widely advertised by UK distributors Rosetti than it was in the US, and the instrument seems to have been more widely adopted by British acts than American.
