If you're new to Elvis and wondering whether you should get this or 'Elvis: 30 #1 Hits', my recommendation is that this is the album to get. This 2-CD set contains all 30 tracks from that album plus 22 additional tracks including classics like 'An American Trilogy' and 'Viva Las Vegas'. A fantastic compilation that showcases what Elvis was all about!

Although this is another CD with all the track's that are already in my collection, this is for the NEW Elvis fan, just listen to "A Big Hunk O' Love" recorded in 1958 & then listen to "Burning Love" recorded in 1976 both brilliant yet years apart, that's how good he was.
Shame about the cover though,I don't mean the picture ( from his second film "Loving You" )I refer to it being reversed ( back to front )annoying this, sloppy really. Look at in a mirror, that's how it should look !

King Creole was an excellent movie, and the soundtrack more than lives up to the film.
The original album hit #2 in America and #4 in Britain in 1958, plus the EPs King Creole Vol 1 and Vol 2 held both the #1 & 2 spots on the Billboard EP chart, with the Elvis EP at#6 and Jailhouse Rock at#8 all at the same time: this is very impressive as this was at a time when EPs sold far more than albums, both EPs sold over half a million copies each, the album sold 300,000 even though the EPs already contained all the songs.
And the songs are outstanding, King Creole and Hard Headed Woman are rock classics, hard driven and dangerous.
The duet Crawfish is a wonderful calypso inspired song, whilst the ballads are beautifully sung yet are a million miles away from the meanacing Trouble, a song that has become a legendary, not only here but as the opener in Elvis 68 Special.
There are plenty alternate takes here, making this an essential CD for everyone

King Creole is King of Soundtracks
Definitly His Best Soundtrack. As the Movie is briliant the songs are even better. The Soundtrack proves that Elvis had diversity in what he was able to sing from rockin roll to... Read more

Elvis, The King.
A superb collection of the finest tracks from The King. Covers a number of years but brilliant from start to finish. Ideal listening in the car.

There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock'n'roll
"King Creole" was Elvis' last movie before he went into the army. Indeed his draft notice arrived shortly before filming started and a special permit had to be sought to defer his... Read more

I agree with the 2 star rating - very disappointing. The second Cd came up on my computer as 'The Essential Elvis' - obviously a re-labelling of another Cd, with a 'bonus' track... Read more
