This looks good . Sony should think about doing something like this. As a matter of fact RCA had a "Rocker " Vol. 3 planned during the mid 1980's. It shows that Elvis did record some Rock And Roll material throughout his career.

CD looks great and the tracks are also good. However... It's a CD-R with homemade covers...

I like the cover and the concept, but where are "Wearin' That Loved On Look", "Power Of My Love" and "Rubberneckin"? These are three excellent rock and roll songs from that period. I also have a fondness for "She's A Machine". He sings it with an edge in his voice like he did his 50's rockers. Additional songs could include "If you Think I Don't Need You", "Meanest Girl In Town", "Stop, Look and Listen", "Fools Fall In Love" and "You Gotta Stop" from the 60's and "Steamroller Blues", I Got A Feelin' In My Body" and "I've Got A Thing About You Baby".

I agree with you on "You Gotta Stop". It could have been a single in the U.S. in 1967 and it was buried on the flipside of "The Love Machine" overseas. I think "King Of The Whole Wide World" was on "Return of The Rocker", but it is a fantastic rocker.

"Devil In Disguise" is from '63 (the cover of this say 1964-1976), but it was not on "Return of the Rocker" and it would deserve a place on any Elvis rock and roll set.

Anyone can make such a compilation...

Jerome, I realize any Elvis collector can make their own CD, but I still think it is fun to think what songs should or shouldn't have been included on a volume three of this series had it been released in the 80's. The cover above would have been a great one for 12" LP.
