[edit] Details

Separate Ways is a 1972 compilation album by Elvis Presley. Released by RCA Records under its RCA-Camden subsidiary exactly one month after another compilation, Burning Love and Hits from His Movies, Volume 2, Separate Ways was the second and final attempt by RCA to repackage older Elvis recordings by pairing them with a recent hit single, in this case "Separate Ways" and its flipside "Always on my Mind". The remainder of the album -- which was not promoted as a compilation on the front cover -- consisted of a mixture of previously released recordings from Presley film soundtracks of the 1960s, plus one song, "Old Shep", dating back to 1956.

It just missed the top 10 of the Billboard charts on its release and has since gone on to sell over 3 million copies world-wide.[citation needed]
