I always liked this, and some of the other camden / pickick albums, as they gave me a cheap price to start my collection. I had one called Return To Sender, from what I remember, that included Whole Lotta Shakin Going On - still one of my favourite 70's rockers!
For what it's worth, Elvis is standing in front of the bordello set from the 68 special, and the pic was one of the publicity shots for the special.

I have "Return to sender" too, with a shot of Elvis from "Flaming star" on the cover. A poster was included.DarrylMac wrote:I always liked this, and some of the other camden / pickick albums, as they gave me a cheap price to start my collection.

Shane: Great review. Always enjoyed this album. Bought all the Camden/Pickwick albums released back in the day except the Frankie & Johnny release.
Bought all 4 of the CD release/re-releases so far. Will buy others if they release more. Guess they won't release any this year according to what I read somewhere.
These Camden/Pickwicl albums hold a lot of great memories for me.
Keep those great reviews coming.

For anybody that bought the new "Elvis at the movies" set am I correct in assuming that the last five tracks on the second disc of this set are the Camden "Almost in love" album mixes? They sure sound like them...

From EIN review . . .
"The 'Almost In Love' CD has been mastered from the original Camden LP Master tape and so it does feature the original mixes but at the same time has that rather flat-ish sound of the old Camden LPs. Knowing what great sound we can now get from Elvis' original Masters I do find some of the tracks a little disappointing but let's face it, The Colonel was never going to put quality money behind these budget albums! 'Almost In Love' immediately doesn't have the sparkle of the Double Features version and 'Edge Of Reality' is a muffled mono-ish mix. However to be honest some tracks like 'Long Legged Girl' sound fine, (I guess because it was rough to start with!)"
So I sure hope the 'At the Movies' are not these audio versions!

and if you hadn't noticed ..
"There a few anomalies with 'Almost In Love' having the guitar intro edited down by 4 bars. (The Master runs 3.02 which this "Camden" sleeve indicates, although the track only runs 2.52! ) Similarly 'Edge Of Reality' is shamefully faded out @ 3.13, so it misses that great "Hah!" that Elvis gives towards the end of the full-length Master. The sleeve again incorrectly says 3.27. But what am I doing here? - Picking errors on a Camden LP! The Colonel must be laughing all the way to the bank! "
I still think it is a real fun listen.
Would would expect two 'new millenium' chart hits on such a budget package!
Cheers

I agree with any remark you made, Shane.
The material holds together well with the one exception you singled out.
Long legged girl, however, is fun to listen with that wild scratchy guitar intro, and if you don't like it, it's over before you start get annoyed by it.
I liked the title song from the beginning (and it is still one of my movie favorites today). Almost in love is lounge pure.

I just went to Walgreens drugstore tonite and saw all the Elvis Camden budget cd's selling for $5 apiece !!!
I picked up Separate Ways and Burning Love And Hits From His Movies and a few extra copies of the others ...
The sound quality, IMHO, sounds real good on these discs.
Great bargain.

You bought Burning Love and Hits From His Movies? For shame!! Don't you know that's the prime offender. The worst of the Camden lot according to many fan(atics)? That's okay. I bought one too. Sure was great to hear Burning Love; Tender Feeling; Am I Ready; etc. in their "proper" running order once again.

I haven't picked up Burning Love and Separate Ways yet, but I will!
But, then that's as far as I will go regarding the Camden LP's.
At the time they really made sense, even including C'mon Everybody and I Got Lucky. Because they contained tracks hard to find or never released on album before, back then!
