The newly expanded edition of Hits Of The 70s offers a superb overview of Elvis' greatest songs in the '70s. While the album doesn't feature any outtakes, it does have a substantially expanded track-listing that now features 24 A & B sides and bonus track My Way. The 12-page booklet features both UK and US sleeves, release/chart information and historic overview. From Elvis Presley Boulevard was originally released in 1976 and contained 10 tracks recorded at Elvis' home Graceland.
