Elvis Presley – I Got Lucky
Originally released in 1971, I Got Lucky brings together ten recordings from Elvis Presley’s film-soundtrack years. Many of the songs had previously appeared on soundtrack EPs rather than full-length albums, making the collection an appealing snapshot of a lighter and often overlooked part of Elvis’ catalogue.

The album moves between upbeat rock and roll, polished pop and romantic ballads. Alongside the cheerful title track, the selection includes “What a Wonderful Life,” “I Need Somebody to Lean On,” “Riding the Rainbow,” “Fools Fall in Love,” “Home Is Where the Heart Is” and “If You Think I Don’t Need You.” (Elvis Presley Official Site)
Although issued as a budget compilation on RCA Camden, I Got Lucky offers an enjoyable survey of Elvis’ soundtrack recordings from the early and mid-1960s. His unmistakable voice and natural charm carry the album, whether he is delivering an energetic movie number or one of the record’s more reflective performances.
This copy is the UK RCA Camden reissue, carrying catalogue numbers CDS 1154 and CAL 2533. The release is listed as a stereo LP compilation/reissue and is associated with the British Camden editions of the album. (discogs.com)
