The gatefold sleeve features extensive liner notes explaining the background and musicians for each track, including credits like producer Felton Jarvis on Fools Fall In Love and Burning Love, and notable session players such as James Burton, Jerry Reed, and Boots Randolph across songs spanning rock, country, and pop styles. Tracks range from covers like Too Much Monkey Business (Chuck Berry) and Santa Lucia (arranged by Presley himself) to originals such as Hard Luck and Rubberneckin, highlighting his vocal versatility and piano playing on Old Shep. Historically, this album reflects Presley's post-Army output during a period of film soundtracks and sporadic hits, compiling lesser-known cuts alongside fan favorites without achieving major chart success itself, contributing to the ongoing repackaging of his catalog for international markets. Among the tracks, hit singles include Burning Love (his last major US Top 10 hit in 1972) and A Little Less Conversation (a 1968 single that gained renewed popularity via a 2002 remix), while others like Flaming Star (1960 title track) and Rubberneckin (1969 Top 20) add to its appeal for collectors.
