The Elvis Presley LP “G.I. Blues” enters the Billboard Hot 200, where it will rise to number one and stay there for six weeks. It will finally fall of the chart 111 weeks later, making it the longest charting album of Elvis’ career and was certified Gold on March 13, 1963 and Platinum on March 27, 1992.
In 1997, RCA remastered the album for compact disc, and 2012 the Follow That Dream label released G.I. Blues was in a 7-inch digi-pack edition featuring a booklet and two CDs. A follow-up album, which also contained a booklet and two CDs Café Europa, was released in 2013.
Elvis didn’t want there to be a soundtrack release, but there was, and sadly, the fans then preferred it to the “Elvis is Back” studio LP. The G.I. Blues soundtrack album was nominated for two Grammy Awards in 1960 in the categories Best Sound Track Album Or Recording Of Original Cast From A Motion Picture Or Television and Best Vocal Performance Album, Male.
