4.0 out of 5 stars
Elvis' biggest hit album, March 11, 2008
This review is from: Blue Hawaii (Elvis Paper Sleeve Collection Mini LP 24 bit 96 khz) (Audio CD)
Blue Hawaii is certainly one of Elvis' best soundtrack albums from the 60's and was his biggest hit album. It stayed at number 1 on the US album charts for a then record 20 weeks! It contains one of his signature songs "Can't Help Falling In Love" and the modest hit "Rock-A-Hula Baby". This was Elvis' commercial peak!
Unfortunately the success of this album and the previous soundtrack "GI Blues" convinced Elvis' management that the way to make the quick buck was to make lighthearted comedy movies and associated soundtrack albums. From here on out the movies and soundtracks would sink in quality and sales.
While this is a nice CD, I would recommend you pass on this release and buy the US release instead. It is cheaper and includes several bonus tracks not included on this CD.
