Product Description
Product Description
Elvis Presley released his first RCA single in November 1955 and twelve months later was firmly ensconsed as the most popular recording artist in America, perhaps the world, thanks to a slew of hit singles. His manager Colonel Tom Parker wasted no time in ensuring this success and popularity was capitalised upon, releasing two albums during 1956, which topped the US charts for ten weeks near the beginning of the year (Elvis Presley) and five weeks towards the end (Elvis). These albums were issued with different titles in the UK (Rock N Roll and Rock N Roll No 2) but confirmed his worldwide popularity, with the former topping the UK charts. This was despite Elvis having not yet topped the singles chart, something that would be rectified in 1957 with All Shook Up. These two albums, present on one CD for the very first time, featuring two of his big breakthrough hits in Blue Suede Shoes (originally by Carl Perkins, although Elvis scored the bigger hit) and Blue Moon, previously a hit for The Marcels. The albums would conitnue to provide Elvis with hits over the next year or so, with Rip It Up and Paralyzed both charting during the course of 1957.

Elvis' first two albums
6 May 2008
By A Fan
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is a re-release of Elvis' first two albums, the historic "Elvis Presley" and his second album, which was also great "Elvis". They were known as Rock and Roll part 1 and 2 in the UK. These albums were huge international hits when they were released in 1956 and became the first in a looong string of million sellers for Elvis. While this is a nice collection, I would recommend you pass on this set and buy the inidividual US releases from a few years ago. They contain bonus tracks not included here.
Many of these early Elvis collections have been released by independent labels since the European copyrights on Elvis' early recordings have expired and the songs have become part of the "public domain" in Europe. Copyrights on recorded material only lasts for 50 years in Europe.
