Brief History :

Pure Gold is a 1975 compilation album by Elvis Presley released as part of RCA's budget "Pure Gold" series of albums. Though at this point in his career Presley was focused more on the country music market, where he had a string of chart-topping records in recent years, this compilation focuses more on earlier material than recent hits.

"Kentucky Rain", "Fever", "It's Impossible", and "In The Ghetto" are true stereo mixes. All other tracks are in "electronically reprocessed" stereo. When this album was eventually issued on CD in the early 1990s, the 6 songs from the 50's were restored to original monaural sound. It was certified Gold on 9/12/1977, Platinum on 3/20/1988 and 2x Platinum on 3/27/1992 by the RIAA.

The front cover photo features Elvis from his Aloha from Hawaii concert in 1973.
