Elvis Presley: G. I. Blues version on vinyl LP in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Germany in publishing company RCA Victor year 1975.

Elvis Presley's "G.I. Blues" is a soundtrack album from the 1960 Paramount Pictures film of the same name, in which Presley stars as Tulsa McLean, a soldier stationed in Germany. Released by RCA Victor in mono and stereo, LPM/LSP 2256, in October 1960, the album showcases a variety of musical styles that Elvis was known for, including rock and roll, ballads, and pop. The record features eleven tracks that capture the spirit of the film and highlight Presley's versatility as a vocalist. Notable songs include "Wooden Heart," which became a hit for Elvis in Europe; "Blue Suede Shoes," a rock and roll anthem that Elvis famously covered earlier in his career; "Tonight Is So Right For Love" and "What's She Really Like," which reflect the romantic themes of the movie; "Frankfort Special" and "G.I. Blues," which play into the military setting of the film; "Pocketful Of Rainbows" and "Big Boots," showcasing Elvis's softer side; "Shoppin' Around" and "Doin' The Best I Can," offering up-tempo beats; and "Didja Ever," rounding out the album with its catchy tune. The album was well-received, peaking at number one on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart, further cementing Elvis Presley's status as a cultural icon of his time.

Album spans genres Rock, Pop, Stage & Screen, Balad, Soundtrack and Rock & Roll.
