Elvis compilations come and go, but this particular one from the 70's is a bit of a classic. The first half of a 4 volume, 2-piece record set. This 8-track has the first 25 and cuts off in the early 60's. Enough to garner a "5-star" rating in the Rolling Stone Record Guide in the 70's along with the in-era Elvis' Golden Hits. Most of those tracks are on here, but you have some good later post-Army ones as well.
These originally came out in 1970 in 4 record set entitled Worldwide 50 Gold Award Hits. In 1974 the first half was recompiled as Worldwide Gold Award Hits Vol. 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 were issued in 1978. One thing about this release is that everything was in Mono. If I somehow got the dates wrong, blame it on the many ways to reconfigure Elvis. This particular edition was certified Gold & Platinum in 1999, just due to being available 25 years.
The Colonel was still living and he was going to wring out every last dollar.
