 (6 Customer Reviews)
Those who need more than the single-disc set of number-one singles, but less than the full box sets covering Elvis's1950s, '60s and '70s output, will be most pleased with BMG's two-disc compilation, THE ESSENTIAL ELVIS PRESLEY. With 40 tracks in chronological order--beginning with the epochal "That's All Right (Mama)" up to the title track of his final album, "Moody Blue"--this anthology is as straightforward as its name. From the early rockabilly classics to epic romantic ballads like "Suspicious Minds" and "Always On My Mind," and from movie hits like "Viva Las Vegas" to bluesy rockers like "Reconsider Baby," all of Elvis' most important tracks are on this well-chosen set. Those who know the myths and legends more than the music would do well to start here and learn just why Elvis Presley is now and forever the King of Rock & Roll.

Essential Elvis Presley Songs Essential Elvis Presley Music Review Average Rating: (3.8 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews You cannot cram every essential Elvis recording onto just 2
You cannot limit an "essential" Elvis album to just 2 cd's without leaving off buckets of songs that smany will feel should be included. Having said that this album represents a reasonable cross section sample. If you are a casual fan then this album is good value and will give you a good flavour of the man's talents. But it is just a taster....

The sound quality is probably what distinguishes this release from other Elvis collections. It really is superb.
Also, check out the track-list, its great; far more than just a hits collection
I would recommend this release to anyone. Its fantastic music.

 There's Better Out There
The music on this two-disc set is quite good, but if what you want is two discs of the best Elvis, there's a collection called "The Top Ten Hits" which has all 38 of them, with none of the lesser hits, also-rans and filler this collection has. Why they didn't just take that set and add another fifteen songs to it is anybody's guess. Unless you want a solid Elvis starter collection and specifically want one or more of the "other" songs that are on this set, go for "The Top Ten Hits".

Essential Elvis Presley album
 $18.05 
Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. With one apparently unobtainable exception, the Classics Blues & Rhythm Series has assembled ...

The first pressings of THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION included a bonus disc featuring rare tracks.
THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION, though not as thorough as the excellent two-disc set GOLD (released a year prior), is a handy overview of the Commodores' career, beginning with 1974's "Machine Gun" and concluding with 1985's "Nightshift." The only Top Ten R&B hits not included here are "Sail On," and a couple of later '80s cuts, so all the big funk jams ("Too Hot ta Trot," "Brick House," "Lady [You Bring Me Up],") and ballads ("Zoom," "Easy," "Three Times a Lady") are indeed included. This set also scores a little extra by including one of the band's best album cuts, 1976's "Girl, I Think the World About You," which has been left off at least 90-percent of all Commodores comps.

Although America wasn't the first to catch on to the Beatles, it certainly gave the Fabs a worldwide stage from which to launch their pop music invasion. During the space of 12 months in 1964, Capitol released four Beatles LPs that reshuffled various British Parlophone ...
