Pure Gold is a compilation album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley, issued in 1975 by RCA Records with catalog number ANL1-0971(e) as part of the RCA budget Pure Gold series of albums. At the time of this release, Presley was at the final stage of his career; he was focused more on the country music market, where he had a string of chart-topping records in recent years. This short and rather haphazard collection focused more on Presley's earlier Rock and Roll material than later hits, though a few of them are included. Generally considered a mediocre compilation at best, Pure Gold became an enormous seller in the wake of Elvis' unexpected death in August, 1977.
