This compilation album was the third volume in the "Golden Records" series and the first new Elvis album to use RCA's new 'Red Dot' logo. The songs selected were a good mix of strong hits and did the series justice. The front cover used a publicity shot from the movie "It Happened At The World's Fair". First issues of the rear cover had a reversed publicity shot from the movie "Fun In Acapulco".
