Notes:
After it looked like the Singer Special of late 1968 apparently kick-started Elvis' career once again, RCA found themselves embarrassingly lacking in product to take advantage of the legions of new fans. To test the waters that this was not just a fluke, RCA reached into their vault and found nine mostly unreleased and unheard songs from sessions that spanned the previous eight years. These songs were mostly unused tunes from movies. They cheaply packaged them together in this compilation and released it on their budget label RCA Camden. Needless to say, Elvis regained his throne as the King and RCA wouldn't be caught without product again, releasing and reissuing his music over and over again especially after his death.
