Similar to its predecessor Elvis Sings Flaming Star, Let's Be Friends collects previously unreleased songs recorded for Presley film soundtracks, here adding two unissued recordings from his winter of 1969 sessions at American Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. The songs "Mama," "Let's Forget About the Stars," and "Let's Be Friends" were all recorded for but not used in their respective movies.
Like all Presley releases on the budget Camden label, this album has a very short running time, the length unacceptable for a full-priced album in the 1970s.
