Elvis Love Songs

Free with The Mail On Sunday a few weeks ago, this represents a bona fide compilation album of Elvis' songs about his favourite subject.

I'm not sure quite why rights holders give their approval for freebies like this. If you already have a free album of a particular artist's most famous love songs, then why would you go out and buy another one?

Not that I'm complaining. Even to those of us who remain single this Valentine's Day, Elvis' croonings contain a sense of humour that somehow lifts even the sad ones up to a level of fun.

If you're both single and a cheapskate, then this is definitely an album with which to both celebrate Valentine's Day, and sidestep its consumerism.
