Amazon.com

In 1987, RCA released a one-disc Elvis compilation called The Number One Hits that featured 18 tracks. So how did the label come up with 12 additional number ones (13 if you count the sensational "A Little Less Conversation" remix that brings the King into the 21st century as a bona fide dance/electronica star)? Well, the '87 compilation featured only Billboard number ones. "In the Ghetto" and "Burning Love" never reached the top there, nor did "Way Down," despite every copy of that 45 selling out on both sides of the Atlantic following Presley's 1977 death. Instead, the new compilers have used the major pop charts in both the U.S. (including Cashbox) and U.K. to determine inclusions. The tracks have all been remixed from original masters, which proves awesome at best (some of the songs have never sounded crisper if, at times, slightly antiseptic) and problematic at worst. Purists will definitely quibble. "A Fool Such As I," for instance, sounds like Elvis rerecorded his vocals. Hank Garland's great guitar solo also sounds different. It might be an alternate take. That's definitely the case with "The Wonder of You." A few lyrics are even different, meaning this isn't the same version as the original 45. Of course, none of that should matter to the youngsters who've been singing along to "Hound Dog" on the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack, or to any other newcomers. Despite the complaints, this is arguably the best single disc Elvis primer to date. Real fans will want to explore much deeper for treasures to be found, but albums like this guarantee that this is one king who will deservedly live very long, if not forever. --Bill Holdship

Customer Reviews:

the elvis beat.......2007-06-15

I am very happy with this cd/it starts out early elvis and rocks all the way through as none other than Elvis could do...actually a good sound and certainly not a disappointment...I recommend this cd as a good purchase.

elvis 30 #1 hits.......2007-06-12

I justdo not think that this cd was properly remastered. Unlike elvis 2nd to none,which sounded great, the sound quality is lacking on this cd.

Phenomenal.......2007-05-28

What an incredible collection of music. I may even be in the minority, but I thought many of the songs on the Second to None CD were just as good, and in some case better, than many of the offerings here. To put both together provides some of the greatest sounding songs ever released. Elvis was more than just a singer and performer. He is truly an American Icon. His voice and music are timeless and the grea thing about this CD, is that it opened the door for a lot of listeners who may not have been familiar with the great songs that are classics now and will remain so. I think it may be about time for "Third Times a Charm" for those other gems that fell a little short of the other classics.

One of the Best !!!.......2007-04-11

This collection of Elvis' work is one of the BEST purchase values as far as content and cost go. We are part of the generation that grew up listening to him and were extremely pleased with this large selection of his hits. If you want most of the songs you are familiar with and ones that were his biggest hits, this album is the best bet for your money !!!

Golden treasures from 1956 to 1977.......2007-03-11

Unlike a lot of Elvis fans, this reviewer was but a child yet to enter school when the "King" passed away. Growing up, I had varying musical tastes and did enjoy some reruns on television of the films Elvis starred in. After a while I moved on to yet other interests in music, but eventually came back around to the one they call "The King" of Rock and Roll.

I'm not an Elvis Aficionado or expert, so if you want some fanatical Rain Man type repeater of his life or what was on his mind during the recording of a specific song, you will have to look elsewhere. What I will say is that what you see with this album is what you get. Every song is a #1 hit single, and there are 30 of them in all. Considering that you usually are lucky to get 20 songs for a maximum list on any CD, that in itself makes it something of value. 30 songs on a single CD that are also digitally remastered from their original recordings. That said, the remastering I feel is still great because although increasing and improving the sound, the album does not lose any of the raw, beautiful tones that make this music so timeless. The CD booklet has over 18 pages of photographs and commentary and features a nice timeline showing each song and when it was recorded. Some of the hits I'm enjoying right now at a glance are Heartbreak Hotel, All shook up, She's not you, and the pop sensation "Suspicious minds". If you are new to the music of Elvis Presley or someone who grew up with his music, I don't feel you can go wrong with purchasing "30" at all. It's a sunny day outside and hearing these songs gives me that feeling of enjoying the sounds, message and persona that is Elvis Presley.

AWESOME!.......2007-07-10

If you enjoy gospel music -- YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET! Elvis' incredible voice is perfect for the soulful lyrics. Plus he picks up the tempo on many of them making them sound more like rock. All of my favorites are on this 3CD set - so I'm very very happy that I bought it. I highly recommend it!

This CD is great!.......2007-07-07

Elvis sings gospel songs like no other! Some of the songs are a litte rough but you have to realize some songs were recorded in his home or at the studio while he is just playing around. The first disc is more of the released songs while some of the songs on the other CD's are live versions or unreleased versions with him laughing and talking. I thoroughly love this set!

Great gospel album!.......2007-07-05

I have always thought that Elvis' voice was never better than when he was singing gospel and this album proves it! Well done remastering, clear, very good sound. Absolutely a must for people who love gospel and Elvis!!

Awesome.......2007-06-27

Its great to have all of the Kings inspirational music in one collection.I have one word for this collection AWESOME!!!

Great music , Fine performance.......2007-06-14

Elvis is at his best on these albums singing songs that he apparantly very fond of as he puts his heart and soul into these great old time gospel hits. Your service was prompt and every thing arrived in perfect
condition. Thanks

How do you put together a soundtrack for a comedy about witches--'90s style? Well, if she's young and her name is Sabrina, you compile an album of relentless teen pop and R&B hits. But if your witches are a little more mature (and, perhaps, suburban), as in Practical Magic, you use a different formula. And the brew found here is actually a good mix: Faith Hill gets as much play (one track) as Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell. Mitchell's "A Case of You" is simply great, and Bran Van 3000's "Everywhere" fits the folk-pop mold nicely, as does upstart Michelle Lewis's "Nowhere and Everywhere." The guys are the oddities here: Elvis Presley's "Always on My Mind" and Harry Nilsson's "Coconut" give this disc some fun quirks. --Jim Young

Customer Reviews:

i've got both now.......2007-07-05

finally!!!...i've always wanted the music to the movie. now that i'd recently purchased the movie, i wanted the music even more. i saw this movie when i was a little girl, and it just, made me feel happy. this album is worth buying, they both are *movie and album*.

Practical Magic sountrack-- GREAT!.......2007-05-14

If you loved the movie, you will love the soundtrack! I was not dissapointed at all. Since it was a older movie it has been hard to track down. It was worth all the effort!!

Practially Perfect.......2007-03-03

All the women in my family own and love this CD. The music fits the movie very well, and you can't help but enjoy the soundtrack. It is so special that my daughter is even using the instrumentals in her wedding!! I highly recommend this one.

Inspiring and Emotional.......2006-11-19

First of all I loved the movie and watch it all the time, I purchased the CD after the movie came because of the wonderful songs and music. I never tire of this CD, and agree with another woman's comment, that all women should own this CD... The music is soothing, relaxing and emotionally charged. I had this CD stolen out of my vehicle and can't live without it, so I am purchasing it again for the 4th time! That is how much I listen to it!

Elvis Lives.......2007-06-10

I enjoy listening to Elvis. This CD has so many of my favorites. If you are an Elvis fan, this CD is a must for your collection.

None Better.......2007-01-29

The Essentials series is to music what the Criterion Collection is to movies. They are quite simply the most comprehensive, highest quality collections available for the greatest music performers of all time. And The Essential Elvis Presley is no different. It is the best Elvis collection on the market.

Certainly there are other recent collections that are great in their own right but none delivers quite like this fantastic collection. 2nd To None, for example, omits "All Shook Up," "Jailhouse Rock," "Can't Help Falling In Love," and "Hound Dog," amongst others. Then there's 30 #1 Hits, which is missing "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Viva Las Vegas." But that is an inherent problem with any collection of number one hits; not all number ones hold up as well over time as other songs that never reached the top of the charts.

The Essential Elvis Presley, on the other hand, has no glaring omissions at all. The diehard Elvis fan will surely argue this claim, having found one or more underrated gems absent, but the casual fan would be hard-pressed to find fault with this collection.

Of course, you could always find two Elvis collections with all your favorites, and if you have other Elvis records already, you'll probably want to look elsewhere to complete your collection. But if you want a single collection of all your favorite Elvis songs, The Essential Elvis Presley is without a doubt the finest collection available.

One glaring omission, one glaringly bad inclusion.......2007-01-17

What were they thinking when they put this collection together? Yes, it has almost - ALMOST - all of Elvis's greatest hits but where is "One Night"? And why, why, why would they dare to include Elvis's horrendous live version of "Polk Salad Annie" and omit a classic like "One Night"? It is for that glaring omission and that glaringly bad inclusion that I give this collection a rating of 4 rather than 5. Hey, I love Elvis Presley's music as much as anyone but he had no business recording "Polk Salad Annie." There's only one version of that song that should ever be heard and that's the original by the song's writer, Tony Joe White.

Why??.......2007-01-10

I'll not spend time reviewing the songs we all know them well. I'm here to answer the question as to why another greatest hits collection??

1. This is the Elvis entry in Sony's fine "Essential" series. Certainly
Elvis merits representation.

2. Not everyone owns the other hits collections mentioned in other
reviews. New fans "discover" Elvis all the time.

Happy Birthday&Great collection.......2007-01-08

I've always Dug Elvis Presley. this is a Great Introduction collection a Double set that is on point. Suspicious Minds is My Favorite Presley song to this day. these Songs still hold up so well&Elvis's voice is the main reason. he left a distinctive impression with how he presented his take on songs. i already have Elvis collections,but this One is a very Good. a Must have.

The movie and soundtrack that sealed Elvis' 1960s fate.......2007-06-20

After coming off back-to-back strong acting (and very little singing) movies in "Flaming Star" and "Wild In The Country" (but very little money at the box office), Elvis starred in "Blue Hawaii" and his acting career and soundtracks would never be the same again. The soundtrack was hugely successful by being No. 1 for more than a year. But it also doomed Elvis to a decade of corny scripts and corny songs, but big bucks in B formula movies.

The songs are fairly strong with the title track "Blue Hawaii" and "Can't Help Falling In Love" (which I had sung at my wedding!). Also, "Rock-A-Hula-Baby" is a great semi-rocker, along with the great ballads of "No More" and "Hawaiian Wedding Song".

But then you throw in the corny tunes of "Beach Boy Blues", "Slicin' Sand" and "Ito Eats", and you know the rocker of the 1950s is dead and twitching in the grave.

The vocals are solid in all the songs -- even the goofy ones -- but the success of this movie and soundtrack basically signed Elvis' death warrant in Hollywood. No more good scripts would ever find their way to Elvis' manager again -- it was all B movies from here on out and we were never able to see Elvis as a true actor, which is what he yearned to be.

takes me back.......2007-04-02

I enjoy this CD. Whenever I hear these tunes, I can see Elvis in all his Hawaiian beach boy glory. I like the extra songs at the end. You get just a snippet of Elvis being playful with the band and the producer. His voice still gives me chills.

Great album!.......2006-11-06

This album is great! From the excellent rock songs to the superb love songs. It's a definite must for any Elvis fan!

Elvis' biggest hit album!.......2006-10-08

Blue Hawaii is certainly one of Elvis' best soundtrack albums from the 60's and was his biggest hit album. It stayed at number 1 on the US album charts for a then record 20 weeks! It contains one of his signature songs "Can't Help Falling In Love" and the modest hit "Rock-A-Hula Baby". This CD release is made even better than the original by the includsion of several bonus tracks including an alternate movie version of "Can't Help Falling In Love" that I really like. This was Elvis' commercial peak!

Unfortunately the success of this album and the previous soundtrack "GI Blues" convinced Elvis' management that the way to make the quick buck was to make lighthearted comedy movies and associated soundtrack albums. From here on out the movies and soundtracks would sink in quality and sales.

I got carried away and forgot to look at the lyrics........2006-08-24

Blue Hawaii was Elvis Presley's biggest hit movie. And the Blue Hawaii soundtrack was his best selling album. Not his best album, but it is one of his better soundtracks. There are a fair amount of songs with silly lyrics like, "Ito eat like teeth are out of style" or "I'm a kissin' cousin to a ripe pineapple", but at least they have good melodies, and Elvis sings like he's having fun. And you can't go wrong with "Can't Help Falling in Love", one of the King's best ballads. The CD adds eight songs to the original album's 14, including "Steppin' Out of Line"(which is a song that was cut from the movie), and previously unreleased alternate versions of seven songs. Elvis fans should own this CD.

It's a shame that only one side of Elvis' multi-faceted talent is remembered 25 years on from his death but there is so much more to the millennium's greatest performer than garish jump suits and shaky legs. The 50 Greatest Love Songs reminds us what a great singer Presley was; coming from the heart with more feeling and passion than most could ever imagine, all 50 of these songs are classics of the last four decades. The double disc set includes all the up-tempo standards like the incredible "Suspicious Minds", "I just can't help believin'" and "Always On My Mind" plus the Dusty Springfield signature tune "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me". Also included are some of his older works from before and during the cinema years like "Good Luck Charm", "Love Me Tender" and "Old Shep". So no blue shoes, no sequinned jump suits, just the king singing about life, love and heartache. --Georgina Collins

Ultimately received.......2007-07-23

Did not receive the original shipment. Emailed seller who did not respond for 2-3 days. But I did ultimately receive the item.

So wonderful to hear again!.......2007-07-05

This is a wonderful album....brought back so many memories from my youth. Elvis' voice is so sexy and soothing and perfect for these songs. Well done CD...clear and very good sound.

One awsome CD.......2007-05-15

Enough said. One awsome CD! Buy it.
If you love Elvis, you'll love this CD.

The 50 Greatest Love Songs.......2007-04-15

I am a huge Elvis fan, especially his love songs and gospel music. This CD is excellent and is a very comprehensive collection of his love songs. Even songs that were made famous by other artists, are sung well by him. His renditions are a pleasure to listen to. There is only one Elvis!

Not worth it........2007-01-23

Recordings sound like they were all done the same day,
in as little time as possible, with the least amount
of studio talent. Terrible.

First-rate live compilation of the 1970's.......2007-07-16

This is a first-rate 20-track compilation for anyone wanting to find out what Elvis Presley sounded like live in the last decade of his career. The selection is taken from various live albums and the songs are presented here as belonging to one single concert. The first half of the programme is covered by 1969-70 recordings with outstanding versions of "Johnny B. Goode", "Suspicious Minds" (the best-ever live cut from the 1969 "Elvis in Person" album), "Polk Salad Annie", "The Wonder of You", "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water". The second half features the hit single "Burning Love" taken from "Aloha" and the great 1974 live in Memphis rendition of "How Great Thou Art". The disc concludes with the unavoidable "Unchained Melody" from 1977, although they should have added "Can't Help Falling in Love", and why not the now classic 'Elvis has left the building' announcement.

The sound has been upgraded significantly (by Vic Anesini) and the remixed songs have real punch and power, also emphasizing the crack band that worked with Elvis. The general public at whom this CD is aimed won't be bothered by the misprint in the second half of the programme which claims that "You Gave Me A Mountain" and "An American Trilogy" are from 1972, while in fact they were taken from the "Aloha" album from a year later. The 1972 recordings might indeed have been a better choice, but let this not spoil your fun with this great disc, reminding us above all what a fantastic live performer Elvis was. At mid-price this is a real bargain.

Ok Collection.......2007-06-12

Never was the biggest Elvis fan in the world but this is an ok collection of songs from Elvis's Vegas Shows and Aloha From Hawaii.Bought this as a gift and the person who recieved it likes it so I guess it wasn't a waste.It always did bug me that he abandoned his early stuff and just covered everyone else's.

Fantastic!!!.......2007-05-14

Love this CD!!! The King is wonderful- haven't heard a voice that compares to his yet!

Great Seller.......2007-05-12

Everything was just as specified. Very quick and easy. Great seller, would use again.

Well Pleased.......2007-05-12

Worth the money and 1 star missing simply because I was familiar with some of the content. It would be a higher rating for a newbie.

Customer Reviews:

Not Even 2nd to Elv1s.......2007-05-28

In my opinion, this CD/Album is the best of the two greatest hits compilations. This CD features numerous songs with Elvis at the peak of his performing prowess. My personal favorites are:

If I Can Dream - A masterpiece from the 1969 special.

Always On My Mind - Long Before Willie Nelson, Elvis made this song magic.

Loving You - How was this not a number one song?

You Don't Have To Say You Love Me - An underrated gem.

A 5 star CD!

Another Winning Collection of Elvis Songs !.......2007-04-11

Those of us who are Elvis-lovers and want as many of his songs as possible for the best price will be well-satisfied with this album. Extra tracks are another bonus.

A great hits package.......2006-05-14

Elvis Presley came out with Elvi's 30 #1 hits. It contained the best songs of his career.
This is the sequal to it. This contains the great songs that were not quite good enought to be included but are memorable in their own right.
The span of this CD goes from That's Al Right to Blue Suede Shoes and Little Sister.
It also includes hits that were later in his career such as Trouble, If I Can Dream, Memories, Always on my Mind and my personal favorite on this CD, American Trilogy which is a Medley of Dixie Land, The Battle Hymn of the Republic and All my Trials.
This is a great album and a must for any Elvis fans

Avoid This Album!!! (Unless you need a $15 Frisbee).......2006-04-17

I'm a fan of Elvis and a fan of most of the music on this album. I'm rating this 1-star not on the quality of the music, but on the quality of the product. I have over 500 albums in my collection and have ripped all of them to my PC for use with my iPod. This is the ONLY album I own that I cannot add to my digital collection. I have to admit that I kind of have a guilty conscious when it comes to buying music, and I've paid for 99% of my collection as opposed to "acquiring" free copies. I paid for this album just like all the others, but because of SONY/BMG's "copy-protection" software none of my computers will even recognize it as a CD. Yes, I can listen to it in any other standalone CD or DVD player, but what does that mean? I can enjoy over 7000 songs on one convenient storage device but have to keep this special disc set aside for my "protection". I know I'm kind of ranting, but SONY's CP issues have been well documented and I'm not alone in my frustration. Just remember people: it's Elvis. The same songs of his have been rereleased 100 times in 100 different packages. You can find all of these songs somewhere else.

From Sun Studio to Las Vegas, More Hits.......2006-03-13

Here's the followup to Elvis 30 # Hits, Elvis 2nd to None. It's Just as incredible as it's predecessor, featuring great hits like the one that started it all "That's All Right" "Blue Suede Shoes" "I Want You, I Need you, I love You" "If I can Dream" "Kentucky Rain" "Moody Blue" and many more from the 3 decades of Elvis. A Must have for Elvis fans, This was the beginning of Top Notch Rock 'n' Roll. Own it Today

Album Description

Revised with 2 significant tracks and artwork not previously included. When Elvis was growing up, the Presley family attended the First Assembly Of God church in Tupelo and subsequently in Memphis. Elvis's music was greatly influenced by attending these churches, but reglious music came to Elvis in many shapes and forms. Religious songs were often part of the repertoire for country stars on the Grand Ol' Opry - a syndicated radio Nashville broadcast that the Presley's almost always tuned into on Saturdays. As a teen, Elvis and his friends would sneak into churches in the black neighborhoods to catch the lively music of a different musical heritage. The welcoming congregation and uplifting sound opened up Elvis's understanding of the multiple facets of reglious music. ULTIMATE GOSPEL provides testament to Elvis's musical excellence and acknowledges the priceless contribution of the talented songwriters, musicians and producers involved.

ELVIS: ULTIMATE GOSPEL.......2007-05-12

This is the real Elvis. It shows Elvis's true roots. I recommend this cd to anyone who wants to discover the real heritage Elvis left behind.

His BEST single CD Gospel collection!.......2007-03-08

Very powerful performances and of course Elvis' voice is unmatched. He was made to sing Gospel and he puts his heart into every performance. The only Grammies he won were for his Gospel recordings. I know there are many Elvis Gospel collections available, but this one is his best single CD Gospel collection! To top this one you would have to get the 2 CD "Amazing Grace" or the 3 CD "Peace in the Valley" set.

This release is slightly different than the original "Elvis Ultimate Gospel" CD released a few years ago. On this version they added two songs "In My Father's House" and "An Evening Prayer" and deleted "Miracle Of The Rosary". I guess you could say this is the Protestant version of "Elvis Ultimate Gospel". If you like Gospel music and don't want to spend a lot of money on multi-CD releases, I highly recommend this CD.

How Great Thou Art - Elvis Presley.......2007-04-10

I absolutely loved this CD. I had forgotten what a wonderful voice Elvis had when it came to singing hymns and found this CD to be so very inspirational. His voice is as strong as it always was, and it made me feel as though he put a great deal of emotion into the songs.

One of the best gospel albums..........2005-07-14

How Great Thou Art is the second gospel album Elvis recorded and the only album between 1966 and 1968 that was not a soundtrack.
Maybe even better than his first one His Hand In Mine. The Jordanaires and The Imperials Quartet joined their voices together on this album. Elvis arranged few songs like Run On and Farther Along. Crying In The Chappel is not a gospel song but it fits, Stand By Me is a wonderful song just like Somebody Bigger Than You And I. Elvis sings great and the Floyd Cramer's piano is great.
You don't have to be religious to like this album, but maybe you'll become...he, he, he,...

yeah 1967.......2005-02-20

this album beat sgt. pepper for best engineered album of the year. it's better than good and probably better than that even.

THE KINGS MOST BEAUTIFUL ALBUM.......2004-02-15

"How Great Thou Art" is one of the greatest albums ever done by a popular singer. The beauty and passion that comes through is riveting .You dont have to be religious to enjoy this masterpiece ,just sit back and be enthralled by Elvis and his talented musicians and backup singers.A++++++++

Like a Prayer.......2004-01-12

When one loses a loved one, one reaches out to the spiritual. Listening to this beautiful album of gospel music is truly comforting. First the voice is wonderful and full of feeling. And second, the songs are inspirational. The first song "How Great Thou Art" sets the tone of reverence, which is continued with "Somebody Bigger Than You and I." "Farther Along" conveys the message that one day we will gain insight into our life here on earth. At journey's end, we will come to understand. "Stand By Me" and "Without Him" are pleas for the help and support we need in times of trouble. And a particular favorite is "Where Could I Go But To The Lord" because of the beat and the theme, that in a world of temptation, where can one find refuge but in the Lord. In your private hours, when friends and family are no longer around you, and you're alone, close your eyes and listen to this CD. It's like a prayer.
