While many people consider the films of Elvis Presley to be the real downpoint of his entire career, his movies are still fun and enjoyable to watch. He starred in a total of 27 films during the decade of the 60s. "Command Performances: The Essential 60's Masters II" is a two-disc compilation of studio master recordings by Elvis Presley during the decade of the 1960's, released in 1995 on RCA Records. It also includes a booklet with session details and an essay by Susan M. Doll. The set comprises a selection of recordings made by Presley during the decade specifically at a session for the soundtrack of a feature film, of which Presley made 27 during the 1960s. These recordings were originally released in a variety of formats: LPs, EPs, and as sides of a single, and during the 1960s soundtrack songs appeared on 15 full-length long-playing albums, five EPs, and numerous singles. All of Elvis' movies from the 60s are represented by at least one song in this set with the exception of "Tickle Me"; its EP soundtrack consisting of five previously issued studio recordings, and the remaining 4 songs are on 2 singles. The two discs present the studio masters in rough chronological session order. Two previously unreleased masters appear: a version of the Eddy Arnold song "You Don't Know Me" recorded during the sessions for the movie "Clambake"; and an alternate take of the song "Follow That Dream" as the stereo master for the original has been lost, and the compilers opted not to use the surviving mono master. Overall, this is a fine representation of the soundtracks to the movies of Elvis Presley from the 60s. The music of Elvis lives on forever.Read full review

Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This is a 2 disc set of all the top songs from Elvis's Movies. About 2 to 3 songs per movie. I've seen every movie he had out so these songs on this CD was great! They were silly funny songs one's Elvis probably hated singing. However, Elvis was a professional so he could pull this off easily. If you get the chance to pick this up don't pass it up. It's a great buy one I don't regret making.
