The CD is a reprint of the 1975 RCA LP album,
ANL1-0971
Pure Gold is a 1975 compilation album by Elvis Presley released as part of the
RCA Records budget "Pure Gold" series of albums. Though at this point in his
career, Presley was focused more on the country music market, where he had a
string of chart-topping records in recent years, this collection focuses more on
earlier material than recent hits. Although a rather mediocre compilation album
in terms of both content and sound quality, Pure Gold nevertheless sold
extremely well in the wake of Elvis' death in August 1977.
The album was certified Gold on September 12, 1977, Platinum on March 20, 1988
and 2x Platinum on March 27, 1992 by the RIAA. (wikipedia
