[4] He had not released a proper studio album since Pot Luck in June 1962, although seven non-movie singles had been issued since (though several of them had featured recording session outtakes dating back as early as 1958[5]).

Bereft of new material, RCA Victor assembled this album from unused tracks going back to the Sun Records years, from sessions for both soundtracks and regular commercial releases.

Possibly owing to its assembly from scraps and rejects, although it made the top ten on the LP chart, it was the first Presley album to sell fewer than 300,000 copies during the decade, but later would be certified Gold in the U.S. by the RIAA.

The Sun ballad "Tomorrow Night" had overdubs added for release on this album; it would not be officially issued in its original form for another two decades with the compilation Reconsider Baby in 1985.

In its format as a compilation of mostly unissued leftovers from various sessions, and given its rather short running time, this album anticipated the Presley budget releases with a similar concept that would appear during the late 1960s and early 1970s on the low priced RCA Camden label.
