Description
She was the ultimate bombshell, a Swedish seductress with hair of flame, a fulsome figure, and a taste for Triumph motorcycles. But with Ann-Margret, her irresistible beauty took a back seat to her incandescent talent; this was no mere starlet, but a performer whose singing, dancing, and acting skills—all imbued with a devil-may-care charisma—caused record execs to groom her as the female Elvis Presley. Now, finally, here is a comprehensive collection that captures those magical early days of Ann-Margret’s career, a 2-CD set that includes 30 tracks carefully chosen from her 1961-1966 RCA recordings. Among the featured tracks: chart hits like “I Just Don’t Understand,” “It Do Me So Good,” and “What Am I Supposed to Do;” her famous duets with Elvis from Viva Las Vegas, “You’re the Boss” and “The Lady Loves Me” (which, as legend has it, Col. Tom Parker withheld from commercial release because he was afraid Ann-Margret would overshadow The King); four tracks from Beauty and the Beard, her charting album with trumpeter Al Hirt; soundtrack recordings from Bye Bye Birdie, Every Night at Eight, Thunderball, The Swinger, and The Pleasure Seekers; and much more. In fact, these 30 songs—which include single sides as well—hail from nine different albums, and liner note writer Joe Marchese walks you through each and every one of them on this sumptuous package, which includes vintage album artwork. An earful and an eye-ful…viva Ann-Margret!

A black and white picture of one of history's greatest red heads simply will not do.

I think I got all this covered on the Bear Family box set, still the most expensive cd set I ever purchased. I will still get this one.

I was watching Tommy the Movie last week and thought of Ann Margaret. She is still alive.

just looking at Amazon for her later releases read about the Bear family box that I got. Saw a review titled..."great package, nice set"...were they reviewing the bear family box or something else?

Is this a common practice for Real Gone Music? I'm a fan of theirs, and don't recall a reissue like this.

Yes. Real Gone has licensed a few of Sony's digital-only Essential compilations for release on CD over the past couple of years:
