Several years ago BMG released a two-CD set called _Command Performances: The Essential 60's Masters Volume Two_. That collection was a case of overkill. Over the course of the two discs, the listener was treated to the best of Elvis' movie year plus a ton of pure dreck.

I was therefore pleased at the prospect of a single disc compilation of Elvis' movie material. After listening to it, I will say that there's not a bad song on this CD. "Jailhouse Rock", "Bossa Nova Baby", "Viva Las Vegas", and "Clean Up Your Own Back Yard" are all timeless classics which I never tire of hearing.

Unfortunately, this collection also represents a botched opportunity. Where are "G.I. Blues", "A Little Less Conversation", "Little Egypt", or "Blue Hawaii"? Why is there not a single song from the years of 1965-1967? Finally, the burning question: Why, considering the glaring omissions listed above, is this CD ONLY 49 MINUTES LONG! There are at least ten soundtrack recordings which could have been included with room to spare!

Elvis recorded numerous soundtracks, mostly in the 1960s. This CD pulls together some of the all-time best material that is just down right fun to listen to. You get Elvis standards such as Jailhouse Rock and the beautiful Can't Help Falling in Love (the title track). You also get songs such as Return to Sender and Bossa Nova Baby and Easy Question (lifted off the Pot Luck album and used in Tickle Me). There is not a bad song on this set! This is the perfect "pick me up" album when feeling blue! And unlike a lot of Elvis movie songs that fit the movie but don't really make sense on record, these song stand on their own merit as classics! This stuff is up there with the best Elvis had to offer in the 50s and 60s! This Cd definetly worth the money!

1.0 out of 5 stars Why do we need another Elvis greatiest hits of his movies?, October 13, 1999

Fans, Friends, and readers lean me your eyes on this column... For an extra you can have whats on that CD plus 30 more songs on a 2 CD set called ELVIS COMMAND PERFORMANCE essential vol 2. So why did RCA put this CD out when 2 years ago they had E.C.P out. You get a about 50 songs total from a good selection on his best songs from each movie from the 60's. Do your money a favor... get more for your money and look for that 2 CD's set and ignore this CD that came out... just looking out for my Elvis Fans and Friends.
