Easy Come, Easy Go

Liner notes:
In some fifteen years Elvis Presley has completed over thirty Hollywood films and as his millions of fans know, his movie debut in 1956 in "Love Me Tender" provided that the Presley legend which had begun on record could also make an impact on the silver screen.

Not that anyone should have been surprised at Presley's immediate relationship with the camera. His presence, personality and the sheer impact of Colonel Tom Parker's management were the perfect ingredients for Hollywood and they were duly snatched up by producers at all of the major studios.

The Presley films, apart from providing Elvis with an incredibly wide range of roles, have given his fans plenty of musical memories, many of which appear on this album. The title track comes, of course, from the Paramount film of 1967, only one of the two films Presley made during that year, quite a change from the previous busy year when he completed no less than four major films.

Records, films, concert and the very rare television appearances keep the Presley legend alive and thriving nearly twenty years after "Heartbreak Hotel" gave him his first million seller. It's a legend that nobody can question and when you listen to the variety of songs on "Easy Come, Easy Go" they go a long way to explaining why the Presley presence is one of the most powerful in the whole of show business.
