Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

In 1987, RCA released a one-disc Elvis compilation called The Number One Hits that featured 18 tracks. So how did the label come up with 12 additional number ones (13 if you count the sensational "A Little Less Conversation" remix that brings the King into the 21st century as a bona fide dance/electronica star)? Well, the '87 compilation featured only Billboard number ones. "In the Ghetto" and "Burning Love" never reached the top there, nor did "Way Down," despite every copy of that 45 selling out on both sides of the Atlantic following Presley's 1977 death. Instead, the new compilers have used the major pop charts in both the U.S. (including Cashbox) and U.K. to determine inclusions. The tracks have all been remixed from original masters, which proves awesome at best (some of the songs have never sounded crisper if, at times, slightly antiseptic) and problematic at worst. Purists will definitely quibble. "A Fool Such As I," for instance, sounds like Elvis rerecorded his vocals. Hank Garland's great guitar solo also sounds different. It might be an alternate take. That's definitely the case with "The Wonder of You." A few lyrics are even different, meaning this isn't the same version as the original 45. Of course, none of that should matter to the youngsters who've been singing along to "Hound Dog" on the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack, or to any other newcomers. Despite the complaints, this is arguably the best single disc Elvis primer to date. Real fans will want to explore much deeper for treasures to be found, but albums like this guarantee that this is one king who will deservedly live very long, if not forever. --Bill Holdship

Chronique amazon.fr

Les légendes ne meurent jamais. C'est ce qui les distingue des simples souvenirs. On sait qu'à l'annonce de sa mort, en août 1977, des milliers de fans, incrédules, commencèrent à avoir des visions. On refusait de croire que le King n'était plus. Et on se mit à le voir un peu partout. Depuis, régulièrement, Elvis réapparaît, dans une station-service, une église, un centre commercial... ou dans un remix de JXL... Ainsi, grâce au travail génial du DJ, "A Little Less Conversation" (en bonus track dans cette compilation) il est devenu le tube de l'été 2002, et Elvis a de nouveau occupé les premières places du hit-parade, 25 ans après sa mort (sa mort ?). Une aubaine de plus, qui permet de mesurer, à l'écoute des autres (!) hits du plus célèbre des chanteurs de rock'n'roll, combien l'artiste a apporté à ce style qu'il a pratiquement inventé. Rock'n'roll, mais aussi gospel ("Crying In The Chapel" fut une sublime réussite du genre en 1965), avec en plus une approche de la pop incomparable ("Suspicious Mind"). Cette compilation, concentrée sur les hits de Presley couvre tout naturellement la période 1956-1965, avec les 25 numéros 1 qui en sont issus. Et même les 6 autres titres ont leur place ici. Tout le monde ne s'appelle pas Elvis Presley. --José Ruiz

The King's Legacy Is Being Compromised Here (2004-07-10)

First of all, I love Elvis' music and have collected it for years and I have to admit if this is your first Elvis CD you probably will be satisfied. My problem with this CD is that Fool Such As I and The Wonder Of You are not the original hit versions that played on the radio way back when and helped build the King's legend. Fool is an alternate take and Wonder is a different live performance. These takes were never #1 anywhere and when you compare the original hits with these alternates you realise that RCA picked the right masters to originally release. In my opinion this is obscuring the King's legacy and in a way changing history for the new listener and not giving them all the goodness that was Elvis. Why would BMG do this? I suspect it is to coax the serious Elvis collector to buy yet again another rehash of hits that they have already bought many times over, just to get these two "special" tracks, and the novice Elvis collector wouldn't notice the difference. I would much rather have preferred a new two CD set of all the correct recordings remastered with today's technology (like the The Top Ten Hits did in 1988) and then have a seperate collection of nothing but unreleased alternates. However, these alternates always get sprinkled very sparingly in these endless Greatest Hits rehashes. But then again, I'm not a BMG marketing director, just another one of the millions of Elvis fans with money in my pocket.

Perfect 31 #1 Hits!!! (2004-07-04)

First of all, it's the only CD that contains 31 #1 Hit Singles in the USA and UK (A Little Less Conversation is the last #1 in the UK for 4 weeks in 2002) , there are 5 more Elv1s #1 which are not included in this CD bec. it would not fit in 1 CD, but it's in Elv1s 2nd To None album!

Second, the sound is so crisp and clear, you can really hear the unbelievable great voice of Elv1s!

Third, no wonder Elv1s is the Guiness Book Of World Record holder who has sold more than 1 billion records more than any other artist and www.riaa.com most Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum albums and singles in the USA more than any other artist!

The King lives on (2004-06-30)

Living and born in the South I was always a fan of Elvis. I couldn't name that many of his song, I had no CDs, and I watched one or two of my Mom's movies on him. The movies were entertaining, I enjoyed them, and I considered myself a fan of Elvis. When I was wandering around Walmart with a friend, we came upon a stand of CDs. After seeing Elvis 30 #1 Hits, I immediatly snatched it up. My Mom said she had some Elvis CDs I could listen to, but she had never pulled them out. That's why I had never had a CD of his. Thus, my first Elvis CD!

I was familiar with some of the first songs, "Heartbreak Hotel", "Hound Dog", and "All Shook Up". Those are just to name a few. But on a trip the day after buying this CD, I sat and listened to it the whole way through. I was surprised on what I had missed out on. The CD's songs were impressive and overall great! I usually start to pick favorites on a CD I get, but I couldn't. I loved them all!

This is a amazing CD compiled with some of his greatest songs, or #1 hits. I only wish there could have been more songs on here like "Blue Suede Shoes" or "I Was the One." Well, those are for another CD I suppose. I quickly bought Elvis 2nd To None after this one. I couldn't get enough of his songs! This CD is great for someone's first Elvis CD, but any of them are!
