A slice of frothy escapist fun from 1961, Blue Hawaii rode a wave of fan excitement all the way to No 2 in the US box ofce

But while the movie may not have tested Elvis Presley's acting skills, it featured one of his most popular soundtracks. A US and UK No.1 that became the secondhighest-selling soundtrack album of the 60s (second only to West Side Story), the Blue Hawaii album included the fan-favourite title track and Rock-A-Hula Baby, plus Elvis' defnitive version of Can't Help Falling In Love.

Offering a glimpse at the inner workings of The King's court, this two-disc edition comes with reams of rarities and studio outtakes, including movie edits and work-in-progress recordings, including an impossible-to-refuse 12 alternate versions of Can't Help Falling In Love.
