Vinyl Feature: Elvis Presley's Greatest Hits



I picked up this box set of six records at a charity shop here in Southern Sweden a couple of months ago for a whopping 50kr! It also includes a bonus "Elvis at the Movies" disc with a small variety of music from movies he was in over his career.

The set was compiled and released by Readers Digest in the mid 70's and is a wonderful collection of a wide variety of songs by the "King of Rock 'n Roll".

Vinyl Feature: Diana Ross and the Supremes - Greatest Hits



Released in 1967 this album contained a collection of Diana Ross and the Supremes A and B side hits, and was the first LP to name the group under the new title of Diana Ross and the Supremes. It became their second number one album and it would be years before another female group would achieve the same.
