Elvis is the soundtrack album for American rock and roll singer Elvis Presley's 1968 television special of the same title, released by RCA Records. [7] It was recorded live at NBC Studios in Burbank, California, with additional studio work taking place at Western Recorders, in June 1968. The album peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200; along with the TV special, it revitalized Presley's career after years of diminishing commercial and critical success. It was certified Gold on July 22, 1969, and Platinum on July 15, 1999, by the RIAA.

Content

The live album from the Elvis special is the audio-only version of the special, and consists of a mixture of studio and live recordings, the live material itself a mixture of "sit-down" tracks with a small group and "stand-up" tracks with an orchestra. [8]

Unlike the drudgery of the feature film soundtrack recordings, Presley was genuinely excited by the project. [9] For the album, the musical format presented Presley in three different settings: production numbers featuring medleys of his material; an informal small band featuring full songs in front of a live audience; and the two original numbers with Presley backed by an orchestra in front of a live audience. [10] The two ballad tracks from this album were issued as singles. "If I Can Dream" being released earlier in the month, backed on the B-side with a song from his movie in theaters at the time, Live a Little, Love a Little , making it a double promotion on one record. It peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, his highest-charting single since 1965. [11] "Memories" was released over two months after the broadcast, backed with the title song to his next film, Charro! . [11] By making it to the top ten on the album chart after his previous album had charted at a dismal #82, this LP resuscitated his recording career at a time when it seemed practically moribund. [12] Presley insisted the mono mixes for these songs were retained for the album. [13]

Reissues

Several hours of music were recorded for the special, and the unused material has been reissued in many different formats over the years.
