5.0 out of 5 stars IT'S NOW ESSENTIAL, July 7, 2001

This review is from: Elvis Gold Records 4 (Audio CD)

It's a common fact,ELVIS PRESLEY fans are spoiled,especially since RCA have made their golden records last longer.With this, the company can be sure that ELVIS will continue to sell for a long time.The added tracks here are not fillers,they really deserve to be there.This collection of songs range from gospel to the wonderful movie themes from VIVA LAS VEGAS and KISSIN'COUSINS to soft rock material that is quite fun to listen to and very typical of ELVIS at that time.At the time of the original release of that album 1968,ELVIS was considered finished and washed up;his films were often very ordinary,but the television comeback changed all that and gradually ELVIS managed to redeemed himself to the joy of all his fans.The added tracks makes this golden records collection just as essential as the previous three.

The fourth in a series of "Golden Records" by Elvis. Originally released in 1968 and remade in 1997 with bonus tracks, this album is an easylisting compilation. To close off an era, this album contains 8 of the bigger hits from the movies. Of course, most people know these songs and as a fan I can say: they're nice but not Elvis' best work. But, songs like Return to Sender, Viva Las Vegas and Rock-A-Hula Baby are pleasing to the ear and describe Elvis' sixties career like no other. So: essential songs for any fan.

The remake of this album contains 6 bonus songs, and these non-movie tracks are the best in my opinion. Tracks like Indescribably Blue, Ask Me and Crying in the Chapel are so fresh-sounding, and Elvis' voice was the best then. These songs are a gift to your ears.

So, this album should be in your collection, whether you're a big fan or just an "enjoyer".

I just received this cd a few weeks back and it hasn't left the cd player in my truck. I love every song. Can't get enough of "The King"
