Music reviews of Elv1s 30 #1 Hits
Music Review: Hard to believe anyone was ever this good
Rating: 5 Stars
I never described myself as the world's greatest Elvis fan, or at least I didn't until I purchased this CD. There is something about listening to the seemingly endless list of his #1 hits that would make anyone a believer. Elvis was properly legend even in his own time, but this CD throws into stark relief the amazing staying power of his music and his voice. Many of his songs have the stripped down vocals and instrumentals of a bygone age, and yet that apparent simplicity is belied by the surprising complexity of many of the arrangements. His songs have aged extremely well, and it is amazing how just the first cords of some of his great hits will make people's faces light up with grins. I often play this CD in the car, and some songs will make my infant daughter's feet kick in time, while others will lull her to sleep with wonderful melodies. The King truly transcends all generations, and if you ever get tired of the braying cacophony of noise on today's radio channels this CD is the ultimate cure -- even if you're a hard headed woman and I'm a soft hearted man.
Description of Elv1s 30 #1 Hits
Japanese edition of 2002 compilation featuring 31 of 'The King's' #1's (all remastered) including the international bonus track, his 2002 #1, 'A Little Less Conversation' (Elvis Vs JXL - JXL Radio Edit Remix) & a bonus disc featuring three tracks, 'A Little Less Conversation' (JXL 12'' Extended Mix), 'A Little Less Conversation' (original) & the video for the JXL track. 34 tracks in all. The initial pressing includes a slipcase & a bonus lyric sheet to all tracks. BMG.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
