Essential Elvis Albums

The list author says:
	"The essential early recordings have never sounded better. The mastering on the disc is excellent."

The list author says:
	"A classic album and, and an influence on numerous artists from Bob Dylan and The Beatles to The Clash and beyond. This is Elvis at his rocking best."

The list author says:
	"Another great collection of fifties rock ‘n’ roll boosted by the addition of single hits from the same time period."

The list author says:
	"Some great rockers from Elvis’ second movie, along with some excellent bonus tracks from the 1957 studio sessions."

The list author says:
	"A complete soundtrack for Elvis’ classic third movie which offers much more than the original EP release and also features the “Love Me Tender” soundtrack in stereo."

The list author says:
	"A great soundtrack with an added Dixieland influence that makes it sound quite different from the rest of Elvis’ 50’s output."

The list author says:
	"One of the best albums ever made, now featuring bonus tracks and session out takes. He never sounded better than this."

The list author says:
	"One of the better sixties soundtracks and a decent pop album with Elvis in excellent voice."

The list author says:
	"Some of Elvis’ best vocal performances were saved for his gospel albums and this one is no exception."

The list author says:
	"Not quite up to the standards Elvis set with “Elvis is Back” but still a good album. The added bonus of some good early sixties singles boost the overall quality of this CD version"

The list author says:
	"This is a world away from the rock ‘n’ roll that Elvis cut during the fifties, but I would still recommend it for the quality of the vocal performances."

The list author says:
	"Again the extra tracks make this CD release stronger than the original LP, and overall this is an enjoyable album."

The list author says:
	"This was one of the better mid sixties musicals and had the added bonus of Elvis singing duets with his co-star Ann Margaret."

The list author says:
	"After a number of poor soundtracks this album signalled a real return to form for Elvis."

The list author says:
	"Some great music that was originally issued quite haphazardly is collected together here."

The list author says:
	"Music that bleeds” as Greil Marcus so eloquently put it. This is as good as it gets."

The list author says:
	"A brilliant country/soul record with some outstanding vocals. Alternatively the later compilation “Suspicious Minds” includes all the masters from these sessions."

The list author says:
	"Some great live performances from August 1969. A complete show “Elvis At The International” is also available via FTD."

The list author says:
	"A good collection of contemporary covers and the definitive versions of songs that re-appear on later live sets. The mixing was better on the original release though."

The list author says:
	"A studio/live collection featuring great vocals and some excellent covers. There’s also a 3 disc special edition if you want more from this time period."

The list author says:
	"Amazingly this appears to have been deleted from the mainstream catalogue. His best album of the seventies."

The list author says:
	"A great modern gospel collection from Elvis."

The list author says:
	"A reprisal of the concept for the scrapped 1972 album “Standing Room Only, and a good collection of songs."

The list author says:
	"With extra tracks that first appeared on the “Good Times” album this is the best of the 1973 Stax sessions."

The list author says:
	"All the masters from the 1976 Graceland sessions including the entire “Elvis Presley Boulevard” album are included here, providing a good overview of the final studio recordings."
