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".
