Welcome to My World is a compilation album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley, released by RCA Records on March 17, 1977,^[1] five months before his death. The album was certified gold on September 30, 1977, and platinum on January 14, 1983, by the RIAA.^[2]

Content

[edit]

Due to Elvis' infrequent studio recording sessions during this period and thus lacking any new material from Elvis, RCA Records assembled this album, consisting of, with one exception, all previously released tracks. "Your Cheatin' Heart" was the oldest track, recorded in 1958, nineteen years earlier. The one previously unissued track, "I Can't Stop Loving You", was recorded during the afternoon performance at Madison Square Garden on June 10, 1972;^[3] the remainder of the concert remained unreleased until 1997 when RCA issued the complete concert as An Afternoon in the Garden.^[4]
