Product Description

CD Description
When Elvis first broke on the national scene, nobody--not RCA, not Elvis' manager Colonel Tom Parker, and certainly notElvis himself--had any idea how long his popularity would last. Most assumed that rock and roll was a passing fad and that Presley would soon be relegated to the "where are they now?" bin. Unsurprisingly, RCA rushed Presley's first album to market before Elvis had recorded enough new material for an entire record. The result, ELVIS PRESLEY, is a cut-and-paste job consisting of seven RCA recordings and five older tracks licenced from Sun Records, Presley's first label.
Still, this is a monumental record in the history of rock and roll, from its iconic cover (which The Clash later paid homage to on the cover of LONDON CALLING) to the twelve great tracks to its unprecedented sales figures (it topped the Billboard album charts for 20 weeks). The RCA material includes Elvis' arrangement of "Blue Suede Shoes" and covers of R&B hits "Money Honey", "Tutti Frutti", and "I Got a Woman". The record is short (29 minutes) and the material it contains is available on lots of other discs, but if you must have the record that started a revolution, this is the one to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elvis' first great album, 20 Mar 2005
By Mr. J. Hadwin "John Hadwin" (England, Liverpool) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Elvis' first Album was a rag tailed affair, pulling together tracks Steve Sholes (and before him Sam Phillips) didn't feel were suitable for single release. The Sun sides were less than great, and "I Love You Because" is just poor. That is except the breathtaking "Trying To Get To You". Why was this not a single? This was easily one of Elvis' best songs, and his father's favourite. Good taste.

Other highlights of Elvis' first outing where a rocking version of "I've Got A Woman", "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down A Cry" and the breathtaking "Blue Suede Shoes", that didn't appear as a single for legal reasons only.

The additional material makes this a 5 start album. "Heartbreak Hotel" is probably his best single, moody and brilliant. "I was The One" was also one of this best ballads, it'd be a while before he reached these heights with a ballad again, though "I Want You I Need You" came close.

"Shake Rattle And Roll" and "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" showed how Elvis struggled for material, but are great songs.

And the best to last. "My Baby Left Me" is one of Elvis' best songs, and anyone who thinks Elvis' career stopped when he left sun and listen to this breathtaking barnstormed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock and Roll milestone album in superb sound !, 6 Sep 2007
This was originaly Elvis Presley's first LP, and it belonges in top 200 R'n'R albums Hall of Fame.
Remastering was done by Kevan Budd, who also did 'Elvis at Sun' and his second LP simply titled 'Elvis'.
If you want early material in superb sound - this is it!
With crisp, clear sound featured here you can realy enjoy virtuoso guitar of Scotty Moore & Chet Atkins,
that constant slapping bass of Bill Black or smart drum rolls of D.J. Fontana, and hear other musicians in all their glory.
Far better sound then on 50's masters boxset.

Booklet and CD are done in the style of original LP release.
With smartly chosen bonus songs this makes one of the greatest R'n'R
CDs you can buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seminal, 18 Jan 2005
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Elvis Presley wasn't the first to sing or record music which could be labelled rock n' roll. And the grumpy, embittered Chuck Berry is certainly the real king of rock n' roll, no matter how many girls were screaming when Elvis wiggled his little finger.

But this album, Elvis Presley's first LP, is something very special. It burns with energy, and to me, these early Sun and RCA sides remain his crowning achievement...this is when Presley made his lasting impact. This is the music that made him the living image of rock n' roll, and made him the musician most responsible for popularizing the genre on an international level.

Combining of R&B, pop, country, rockabilly and blues, this album is fresh and innovative and completely seductive. Much toughejr and grittier than Presley's often sugary second LP, it goes from highlight to highlight..."Blue Suede Shoes", "Money Honey", "One-Sided Love Affair", the melodic rock shuffle "Tryin' To Get To You".
And the six bonus tracks, all of which are singles recorded the same year but not issued on any of Presley's early LPs, make this landmark record even greater. They include his first #1 hit, "Heartbreak Hotel", the swaggering R&B of "Lawdy Miss Clawdy", and Presley's reading of Big Joe Turner's hit "Shake, Rattle & Roll" (Turner's version is still the best, though ;-)

This attractively packaged reissue is an essential piece of music history, right up there with Chuck Berry's early rock n' roll singles, the Beatles, Muddy Waters, Son House and Robert Johnson, T-Bone Walker, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton and Charlie Parker.
And it's great fun, too!
