This review is from: Burning Love and Hits from His Movies, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

Burning Love was one of Elvis' best recordings period. Unfortunately Elvis' management never figured out how to package and market his albums. Instead of releasing a new album featuring his big hit single, they opted for the quick and easy buck by packaging the hit with a bunch of older, so-so songs from his movies.

In order to be able to release several albums a year, Elvis' management had started packaging his new singles with some of his old songs releasing them as a "new" album. While it may have been a way to make a fast buck, Elvis' new material deserved better and should have been packaged with other new songs and treated as a major release, rather than a budget release. While the song Burning Love went all the way to number 2 on the Billboard singles chart and number 1 on the rival Cashbox chart, the album only managed to climb to 22 on the album chart. Elvis had enough new material at the time to put out a high-quality new album that probably would have done much better on the chart. As it was, they pretty much wasted his biggest hit of the 1970s by putting it on an album with a bunch of dated material.

My mom used to buy me these RCA Camden Elvis albums because they were low priced. So I was ecstatic to get one with Elvis' biggest hit of the 70's as the title track. In a better world, though, "Burning Love" would've been saved for an album of all new material from Elvis. Combine it with other tracks recorded around the same time (like "It's a Matter of Time", also on this album/cd; "Separate Ways", "Always on My Mind", "Fool", "Where Do I Go From Here"), and it would be a good, contemporary album of 1972 Elvis. As a budget release, though, this is pretty nice. Sure, a lot of the songs in Elvis' movies weren't top drawer, but the ones here are very enjoyable, even if they weren't "hits". "Tender Feeling", "Am I Ready" and "No More" are among his better movie ballads, he sings every song wonderfully, and the instrumental support is always excellent. This is a cd I play a lot, it brings back a lot of memories.
