Elvis: 30 #1 Hits [Original recording remastered]

elvis: 30 #1 hits [original recording remastered]

Editorial Reviews
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

5 out of 5 stars the elvis beat.......2007-06-15

I am very happy with this cd/it starts out early elvis and rocks all the way through as none other than Elvis could do...actually a good sound and certainly not a disappointment...I recommend this cd as a good purchase.

3 out of 5 stars elvis 30 #1 hits.......2007-06-12

I justdo not think that this cd was properly remastered. Unlike elvis 2nd to none,which sounded great, the sound quality is lacking on this cd.

5 out of 5 stars Phenomenal.......2007-05-28

What an incredible collection of music. I may even be in the minority, but I thought many of the songs on the Second to None CD were just as good, and in some case better, than many of the offerings here. To put both together provides some of the greatest sounding songs ever released. Elvis was more than just a singer and performer. He is truly an American Icon. His voice and music are timeless and the grea thing about this CD, is that it opened the door for a lot of listeners who may not have been familiar with the great songs that are classics now and will remain so. I think it may be about time for "Third Times a Charm" for those other gems that fell a little short of the other classics.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Best !!!.......2007-04-11

This collection of Elvis' work is one of the BEST purchase values as far as content and cost go. We are part of the generation that grew up listening to him and were extremely pleased with this large selection of his hits. If you want most of the songs you are familiar with and ones that were his biggest hits, this album is the best bet for your money !!!

5 out of 5 stars Golden treasures from 1956 to 1977.......2007-03-11

Unlike a lot of Elvis fans, this reviewer was but a child yet to enter school when the "King" passed away. Growing up, I had varying musical tastes and did enjoy some reruns on television of the films Elvis starred in. After a while I moved on to yet other interests in music, but eventually came back around to the one they call "The King" of Rock and Roll.

I'm not an Elvis Aficionado or expert, so if you want some fanatical Rain Man type repeater of his life or what was on his mind during the recording of a specific song, you will have to look elsewhere. What I will say is that what you see with this album is what you get. Every song is a #1 hit single, and there are 30 of them in all. Considering that you usually are lucky to get 20 songs for a maximum list on any CD, that in itself makes it something of value. 30 songs on a single CD that are also digitally remastered from their original recordings. That said, the remastering I feel is still great because although increasing and improving the sound, the album does not lose any of the raw, beautiful tones that make this music so timeless. The CD booklet has over 18 pages of photographs and commentary and features a nice timeline showing each song and when it was recorded. Some of the hits I'm enjoying right now at a glance are Heartbreak Hotel, All shook up, She's not you, and the pop sensation "Suspicious minds". If you are new to the music of Elvis Presley or someone who grew up with his music, I don't feel you can go wrong with purchasing "30" at all. It's a sunny day outside and hearing these songs gives me that feeling of enjoying the sounds, message and persona that is Elvis Presley.

    Customer Reviews:

    5 out of 5 stars Elvis' best plus a bonus CD.......2007-01-01

    The first CD is the outstanding Elvis 30 Number 1 hits CD. It actually includes 31 songs (including the "A Little Less Conversation" remix) that hit number 1 in the US and/or UK. It remains the best single CD overview of Elvis' career and is a must for rock and pop music fans.

    What makes this release different is the bonus CD that includes rehersal recordings, alternate takes, and the extended version of "A Little Less Conversation", which is very good. Most of those tracks are not that remarkable. The "Burning Love" take is interesting. It is an early take and it is obvious that it was still a work in progress, but the guitar gives a different sound. The "Way Down" alternate take is very good and I actually like it better than the final release version.

    All-in-all, this edition is for hardcore Elvis fans. Casual fans would probably be more satisfied with the single CD release in addition to saving a few bucks.

    4 out of 5 stars Great Packaging, Bass a Little Too Heavy!.......2006-07-05

    This is a great version of the wonderful 30 #1 Hits album of Elvis and the bonus disc is a real plus as we get to hear the King on the outtakes and he even speaks! Not forgetting the extended version of the monster hit "Little Less Conversation." I'm amazed at how great all the tracks on disc one still sound all these years later and with the great mastering job that BMG have done, the tracks still sound like they were released today. One beef I have with this album though is that the bass is quite heavy and tends to overpower everything else on some of the tracks. Otherwise, the hardboard packaging that opens up just like a book has great liner notes and trivia on each track. Recommended.

            4 out of 5 stars Good compilation.......2004-11-14

            Elvis Presley has often been referred to as "The King of Rock and Roll," and with good reason. His music is nothing short of excellent, and unlike a number of similar artists from the same era, his music stands the test of time. Recently, a compilation of thirty of his tracks tracks that hit number one was released, but it didn't have EVERY popular song he did. So the record company released a follow-up compilation. Read on to see how it measures up.

            PROS:
            -If you're a casual Elvis fan, don't buy a box set - just about every track you'll ever need is on this compilation or its predecessor.
            -The two biggest hits (and shocking omissions) from the previous compilation, Blue Suede Shoes and Viva Las Vegas, are both here for your listening pleasure.
            -A previously unissued bonus track can be found on this compilation.
            -This CD has over thirty tracks! If this compilation's predecessor didn't have the most tracks to ever appear on an Elvis compilation, this one does.
            -It's an affordable compilation.

            CONS:
            -Elvis is a great musical artist, no questions asked. But was there really a need for another compilation of his material? Obviously not. More likely than not this is just a money-making scam by the record company.
            -Good Rockin' Tonight (popularized by Montrose) isn't on this compilation, nor is it on the first one. Damn.

            OVERALL:
            Despite my complaints, I can honestly say that this compilation and its predecessor are the best single-disc Elvis compilations out there (it even puts some multi-disc collections to shame!) If you're a casual fan of the King, you've come to the right place.
