This album contained 12 mono songs from the fifties that were 'overdubbed' by producers Tony Brown and David Briggs. They kept Elvis' original vocal and updated the sound using some members of his original band (Scotty Moore, D.J. Fontana) and his backing group 'The Jordanaires'.
​
The remaining 4 songs were previously released on the soundtrack to the 1981 movie: 'This Is Elvis'

NOTE:
A German album with the same name (PL 84678) was released in Europe later in May 1984.
​
This was a completely different album and not a copy of the UK album. The artwork from the rear of the British album was retained and now used on the front cover. The tracklisting was not the same, but it did contain some of the same songs.
This version had a sticker applied to the back changing the catalogue number from PL 84678 to the UK RCALP 3105! The record inside was not the same PL 84678 version, but a UK repressing of RCALP 3105 on the New Black label.
​
(Many thanks to Jimbo for the headache!)
