Elvis Presley

This quintessential CD collects all of the King’s hits that reached #1 on the US or UK charts between 1956 and 1962. Highlights include both sides of the single “Hound Dog” / “Don’t Be Cruel” (the most successful Elvis single release, with 11 weeks on the charts); Elvis’ second RCA single, “I Want You, I Need You, I Love You”, and the classic rocker “Heartbreak Hotel” (which peaked at #1 and remained on the charts for eight weeks after extensive television exposure following its release). Unforgettable ballads like “Love Me Tender,” the popular “It’s Now or Never,” and the definitive version of “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” are also present, plus the killer rock & roll tune, “All Shook Up” (9 weeks at #1), among many other celebrated hits. These remastered gems are widely regarded as the finest work of Elvis Presley’s career and among the greatest recordings in rock & roll history.
