A special "Elvis is Back!" innersleeve was provided. G.I. Blues sold over 3.5 million copies, easily qualifying for a Gold Record, which was certified by the RIAA on March 12, 1963. G.I. Blues entered Billboard's Top LPs chart in October 1960, at #6 - the highest debut position for any Elvis LP. In six weeks it was the number one album in America. G.I.

The song Tonight’s All Right For Love wasn't included in the American release, but showed up in foreign releases. The first release in the United States was in the album A Legendary Performer, Volume 1. |
