The album was made up of leftovers from Elvis' marathon June 1970 recording sessions in Nashville. Most of the other 35 songs recorded during those sessions had been used in Elvis' 1970 albums ''
That's the Way It Is and Elvis Country (I'm 10,000 Years Old)''. Wanting to squeeze out a third album from the sessions,
RCA records had producer
Felton Jarvis mix, overdub, and compile the remaining songs. The song's title track was a rare instance of Presley re-recording a past hit in the studio, his original version of "Love Letters" having been released as a single in 1966. "
Got My Mojo Working" is edited down from an impromptu
jam session; Presley's version incorporates lyrics from "Hands Off", a 1955 song by Frankie Castro released on the Wing record label (RCA often mislabelled this song "Keep Your Hands Off of It" when the complete jam was issued on CD years later). Three songs from this album were released on singles. The single "
Life" / "
Only Believe" was released in March 1971 and reached only No. 53 on the US Billboard Singles chart. It was Elvis's lowest chart position for a single since "
Almost in Love" had reached No. 95 in late 1968. "Heart of Rome" was placed on the B-side of the non-album track "
I'm Leavin'" released as a single in August 1971. It reached No. 23 in the UK and No. 83 in Australia. ==Track listing==
