Well, it's almost inevitable that collector's as i consider myself to be, will already own pretty much all
the tracks on the play-list, i suspect this 3-CD album has been released previously in one shape or
another, however, if you haven't previously purchased this collection what it gives, for me, is many much
loved tracks in a different and fresh play-order.
What we have here is several of 'Elvis's' hits, several much loved and remembered 'B-Sides' along with
Album and Movie tracks.
Difficult to believe this legend of the Rock and Pop scene has been gone for over 37 years now, his music,
his legacy remains as popular now as it was back then.
Glancing down the play-list I'll just highlight one or two from each of the three discs.........on disc one.......
'Return to Sender' was a number '1' hit for the King way back in 1962....'Follow That Dream' primarily from
his movie of the same name, did chart for him as an E.P with songs from the film reaching number '34'
again back in 1962........'Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello' was in fact a 'B-Side' to 'She's Not You' a number '1'
hit, also in 1962, though i have to say i myself probably played the song as frequently as the A-Side back
then........'From a Jack to A King' primarily an album-track for 'Elvis' (A Chart topper from 'Ned Miller'..
'Kiss Me Quick' from the album 'Pot Luck' did chart for Elvis in 1963 reaching number '14'........on disc two......
'Such A Night' charted at number '14' back in 1964 the song a little more 'Rock'n'Roll' than many of the
King's releases around that time........'What'd I Say'a song recorded by many artists down the years that would
almost certainly have been used at many of his concerts to involve his audience........'Memphis Tennessee' a album
track for 'Elvis' that was a massive hit for 'Rock-Star' - 'Chuck Berry'........on disc three.......'Guitar Man'
an up-beat number that charted for 'Elvis' at number '19' in 1968........'In The Ghetto' an ever popular 'Elvis'
track that just missed out on the Top-Spot here in the U.K reaching the Number '2' slot in 1969........'Don't Cry Daddy'
a tear-jerker from the King that was a number '8' hit also in 1969........'U.S Male' always been a favourite of mine
down the years this one Charting at number '15' in 1968.
I have simply highlighted a few of the many favourites that can be found on this release which in my view
is a great reflection of the many many memories we have of the 60's from the 'King'
Great addition to a music collection.
(if you don't already own it there a 90 - track 'Real Elvis' box-set that is a perfect companion to this release,
which I have also reviewed recently)
