Double Dynamite is a compilation album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley. The album was released in December 1975, and compiles various tracks that had previously been released on nine budget-priced albums on the RCA Camden label. This was also among the first albums issued by Pickwick after gaining reissue rights to the RCA Camden catalog earlier that year. It was certified Gold and Platinum on 1/6/2004 by the RIAA.

Reissues and Foreign releases

The album was also issued by Pickwick in Great Britain [1] and by RCA itself in Australia, under the title "The Elvis Explosion".[2] Both the Great Britain and Australian issues add two songs not on the US release: "Tender Feeling" and "Charro".

In 1982, in conjunction with Pair Records, RCA Special Products reissued this album with two fewer songs ("You'll Never Walk Alone" and "If You Think I Don't Need You"), plus new cover artwork.[3] Five years later, this 16-song version was issued on CD.[4]
