King Creole plus Blue Hawaii

CD comes with a 16 pages booklet with liner notes by Gary Blailock.

Note: This quintessential release features two of Elvis Presley's finest soundtracks, which were originally released on the RCA label: King Creole (1958), and Blue Hawaii (1961).
Both masterpieces helped define the exact nature of early rock & roll and contain several commercial hits with which the King of Rock made his name, such as "King Creole", "Can't Help Falling in Love", "Rock-A-Hula Baby", "Hard Headed Women" and "As Long As I Have You", among others.
The King Creole soundtrack marks the first time Elvis worked with a horn section and the music is striking for its raw and visceral quality.
Released three years later, Blue Hawaii stayed at number 1 at the US long play charts for a record 20 weeks. Elvis was at his commercial peak during this period.
These formidable albums have been packaged together in this very special collector's edition, which also includes 8 bonus tracks from the same period.
