Liner notes: No matter how many Elvis Presley albums are in the collection,
there's always a good reason for adding one more, particularly if, as in this
case, you want to hear Elvis singing about love.
Admittedly the collection kicks off with a chauvinistic look in "U.S. Male" but
as the final notes fade away there's plenty for the girls to enjoy as Elvis
settles into the romantic mood with songs like "I'll Take Love", "Almost In
Love", "Well Be Together" and of course, "Burning Love" .
Elvis sings the songs of love with conviction and a feeling for the lyrics from
the wealth of experience and success he's enjoyed ever since "Heartbreak Hotel"
gave him his first real taste of chart adulation and a Gold Record back In 1956.
Every Presley album since then has soared into the list of best-sellers giving
him Gold Records from many corners of the world. His fan following, his
consistent ability to entertain and add to the already large band of fans makes
him a unique figure in show business.
This album helps to show, in one small but highly entertaining measure, just why
this should be. (Original album sleeve notes)
The original " U.S. Male " album was released in 1975 on RCA's' low budget
CAMDEN label.
Many tracks on the album were hard to find back then, so this album was welcomed
by the millions of Elvis fans.
It's a true classic, well known album and, if only for sentimental reasons, it
deserves a descent CD release.
The first CD release of the original album was in the 1990s' by the Australian
"RAINBOW" label. But it contained a different front cover, and also the sound
quality was pretty bad.
This new release presents the album in its full glory, digitally improved from
the original album masters and including 8 rare and hard to find bonus tracks. |
