This third volume of Elvis' hit singles contains most of Elvis' top hits released between his 1960 return from military service and early 1962. During this period Elvis was at the height of his popularity and musical creativity. The current CD release includes six bonus tracks making it even better value. (US:6 UK:3)
"It was during this period that Elvis last topped the charts consistently, soon the British invasion and a string of sub-par movie soundtracks would reduce both his stature and his record sales."
"This album is vintage Elvis from the early '60s, There is less of the primitive raw youth of the pre-army music, and more of the smooth polish of an experienced performer."
"The collection is a good cross-sample of Elvis at mid-career before he was trapped in the quagmire of the inferior mid-'60s movie soundtracks. An entertaining blend of finger snapping rock 'n' roll songs and the more subdued atmosphere of the ballads."
"The starting track, Its Now Or Never, is thrilling, timeless, and romantic as ever. Little Sister is downright nasty and a great rockin' song."
"Elvis shows in this compilation he still had that great singing talent after his return from the Army."
"Don't ask me why this is my favourite Elvis compilation, but its the one I couldn't do without. Probably because its the only place to find His Latest Flame and Little Sister on the same disc. It offers the more lyrical side of his music, when Elvis demonstrates his fine baritone voice in such numbers as Its Now Or Never and Are You Lonesome Tonight."
