Product Description
CD Description
With Elvis Presley still serving in the US Army and having not recorded anything new since shortly before his departure in March 1958, RCA were faced with something of a battle to keep his name in the spotlight during his absence. Whilst the tracks he recorded shortly before his departure continued to be released as singles, and sold well, Elvis had also proved to be a strong album seller, with RCA keen to continue the rich vein of success he had enjoyed. A Date With Elvis therefore is a compilation of tracks originally recorded in August 1956, although none had previously been available on album before. Whilst the album was somewhat short in length and devoid of major hits, it still sold well enough to become a Top 40 hit, peaking at #32 on the Billboard charts.

Great songs, great album, poor edition. Really; avoid this hallmark garbage! The songs have been taken off vinyl and had noise reduction or compression or something and just sound terrible. Save your money and buy the Sony releases instead. You'll thank yourself in the end, believe me...

This review only applies to the RCA/BMG release 1996 edition 'The Original Elvis Presley Collection' 74321906092
I bought this CD thinking that it was the 'Original' release as stated in the title... only I was wrong.
The proper track listing is:
Blue Moon Of Kentucky
Young And Beautiful
(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care
Milkcow Blues
Baby Let's Play House
Good Rockin' Tonight
Is It So Strange
We're Gonna Move
I Want To Be Free
I Forgot To Remember To Forget.
The CD completely omits:
Young and Beautiful
(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care
I Want To Be Free
I Forgot To Remember To Forget
Adding instead:
I don't Care if the sun don't shine
Tutti Frutti
I Gonna Sit Down and Cry
I got a Woman
Blue moon
Just Because
One Sided love affair
Let Me.
Ok so you get a load of good songs and I know i'm nit picking! But I really wanted the original track listing rather than a bunch of tunes that have already appeared on previous Golden Records compilations and at the expense of tunes I haven't heard. Not Amazon's fault but if you are a Elvis purist avoid this cobbled together edition.
The album artwork is also nothing like the original and the one displayed which is also really annoying as well.
