This album concentrated on material from Elvis' first three movies; 'Love Me Tender', 'Loving You' and 'Jailhouse Rock'. It included outtakes with studio dialogue in excellent sound quality. The main front photo was a publicity still from 'Jailhouse Rock' and used previously in a cropped version on 'Elvis' Golden Records'. The record label was a reproduction of the original fifties record label inspired by RCA UK who had issued two singles with this design back in 1983:

'Jailhouse Rock' & '(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care'.
