TCBCast 267: Elvis's Worst Album? Elvis Sings "Hits" From His Movies, Vol. 1 Camden Review

Was there ever a more brainless, incoherent, intelligence-insulting cash grab of a music album released during Elvis' lifetime than Elvis Sings Hits From His Movies, Volume 1? As Gurdip and Bec discuss this week, at least many of the other Camden releases prior to this bothered compiling material fans might not have otherwise had from EPs, singles and unreleased studio cuts. But 1972's "Hits From His Movies" hit new lows in Colonel Tom Parker's attempts to snow Elvis' fans and part them from their money... which makes it all more fun to deconstruct all these years later! Then, both hosts still seem to have Easter on the brain, with Gurdip picking the Million Dollar Quartet jam on the gospel traditional "I Shall Not Be Moved," while Bec praises the uplifting take Elvis & the band gave on Charles Albert Tindley's old spiritual "By and By" on the "How Great Thou Art" album!
