From the press-release:
Throughout the 1970’s, Elvis Presley would release many fantastic hit albums, smash singles and movies. Ever proving that he was indeed on top of his game, The King of Rock & Roll delivered to his fans one of his finest albums yet “From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee.”

Featuring a treasure trove of his most familiar hit singles like his huge worldwide smash hit “Hurt” and the great Neil Sedaka composition “Solitaire”, “From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee” went on to achieve gold status and beyond, while becoming one of his last studio albums that he would record before his untimely passing. It also went #1 in the country charts, and achieved numerous chart placings in the various Top 40, Adult Contemporary and Country charts… plus a ton of airplay!

Stellar balladry abounds as well with his classic rendition of his good friend Tom Jones’ hit “ I’ll Never Fall In Love Again” and the beautiful Roger Whitaker standard “The Last Farewell.” The 1976 album was truly a continuing story of success for The King proving once again that his career was unlike any other in music history.

Side A: Hurt / Never Again / Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain / Danny Boy / The Last Farewell
Side B: For The Heart / Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall / Solitaire / Love Coming Down / I'll Never Fall In Love Again.
