This collection covers the whole of Presley's recording career and includes all of the obvious hits from Heartbreak Hotel through It's Now Or Never and Suspicious Minds to those home recordings made during elvis' final weeks. It is undeniably a great collection of songs, and betters that of any other artist past or present. But it's not the best Elvis collection on the market. For that look no further than the Artist Of The Century 3CD set (at around the same price). Whilst still capturing all of Elvis' big hits, this latter collection focuses much more fully on three crucial periods in Presley's recording career: the early Sun recordings, the 1960 session that captured Elvis' first post-army recordings and the celebrated Memphis recordings from 1969. If you're only going to have one Elvis CD in your collection, 'Elvis 75' might be the one for you, but Artist Of The Century gets my vote.

How can you review Elvis Presley?
The man, his music and all of his achievements, says everything you need to know.
A phenomenal voice who will never be outshone.

Bought this as a gift for my other half (big Elvis fan) and he was delighted. Have to say I can take him or leave him but I also enjoyed listening to this in the car.

Released to mark the 75th anniversary of Elvis's birth, this collection spread over 3 CD's is the perfect greatest hits collection from Elvis.
It has the distinct advantage over other Elvis greatest hits collections that have sold well over the year's such as "All Time Greatest Hits" (1987), "50 Greatest Hits" (2000), "Elv1s" (the mega No. 1 album from 2002), "Second To None" (2003) and "The King" (the No.1 album from 2007)in that it extends onto a 3rd CD. This means that there is space for a number of popular hits from each decade that were not always featured on some of the other collections, although a sub-set may have featured on some.
In particular this includes a selection of mid-60's hits. Many collections cover the 60's greatest hits up to "Devil In Disguise" (1963) and leave a gap till "If I Can Dream" (1969) with the exception of "Crying In The Chapel" (1965) and sometimes also "Love Letters" (1966). Here however there is room for "Bossa Nova Baby", "Kiss Me Quick", "Viva Las Vegas", "Such A Night", "Ain't The Loving You Baby", "Kissin' Cousins", "Tell Me Why", "All That I Am", "Guitar Man", and "U.S. Male"
From the 1950's you have "Lawdy Miss Clawdy", "Trying To Get To You", "Got A Lot Of Livin To Do".
From the 1970's you have less common appearances of a hits such as 1975's "Promised Land", ( (only previously appeared "Second to None") and "My Way" (only previously appeared on "The King").
The remixes of "A Little Less Conversation" (The record breaking UK No.1 from 2002) and "Rubberneckin" (2003) appear together for the first time.
The legendary Sun recording "That's All Right" from 1954 appears on the strength of it's No. 3 placing on the UK singles chart in 2004.... Read more ›

I waited eagerly for this delivery and when it was delivered it was faulty the first cd was repeated on both the other two. But Amazon did refund both cost and postage immediately. I have since bought the cd from a high street shop and it is as expected excellent. Don't expect anything different if you have a comprehensive Elvis collection but if you want every song on just one cd this fits the bill. And of course it is an anniversay collectable.
