Danish compilation album with Elvis Presley single hits. This collection is with liner notes by Danish radio host Jørgen de Mylius giving his account of how Elvis was welcomed in Denmark back in the day, and he sums up bits of the story of the selected singles. An awkward thing about the selected tracks is the end note stating that four of the hits don't have any registered ranks on the Danish hit lists - which make their part in this very compilation a bit of a mystery.
The album was part of my parents' record collection, and it's an album they have purchased after I left the home of my childhood, however, Elvis was a popular figure in our home. Both of my parents had so to speak grown up with Elvis as background music to their formative years as parents. They were no die-hard fans but they especially enjoyed his bolder ballads as opposed to his early rock & roll-period.
