Elvis Presley – Gold Records Volume 5 (1984, RCA Records)

The final chapter in the legendary RCA Gold Records series, Gold Records Volume 5 is a must-have compilation that showcases Elvis Presley’s greatest hits from 1968 to 1977. Released posthumously in March 1984, this album marks the King’s enduring legacy, featuring nine Top 40 singles and one notable B-side, For the Heart.

Spanning almost a decade of Elvis' career, this album delivers both the intensity of his late-'60s comeback era and the emotional depth of his final recordings. From the raw passion of If I Can Dream to the rock-driven energy of Burning Love, this collection captures the full spectrum of Presley’s talent.

Notable Tracks:

• Suspicious Minds – The 1969 classic that became one of his greatest hits.
• In The Ghetto – A poignant social commentary wrapped in Elvis' signature sound.
• Moody Blue – A late-era gem showcasing his rich vocals.
• Burning Love – A rock-fueled anthem from 1972.
• If I Can Dream – A powerful performance from his 1968 comeback special.

This is the original 1984 release, not a later reissue. While RCA reissued the album in 1997 with six bonus tracks, their selections included pre-comeback recordings rather than Elvis’ defining hits of the 1970s. If you’re looking for the real Gold Records Volume 5—the way it was originally meant to be heard—this is the version you need.

Recorded across multiple legendary studios, including RCA Studio B (Nashville), Stax Studio (Memphis), and the iconic Jungle Room, these tracks are a testament to Elvis' ability to evolve and redefine music throughout his career.

Gold Records Volume 5 may not have charted upon release, but it remains a gold-certified treasure for collectors and fans alike. Don’t miss your chance to own this final installment in Elvis’ legendary series.
