CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Elvis 75 celebrates the 75th birthday of Elvis Presley and the life and music of the world's first rock and roll star. The three CD, 75 song collection is released four days before what would have been The King's 75th Birthday. Elvis 75 demonstrates Presley at his best. The collection runs from "Heartbreak Hotel" -- the classic that first made Elvis' name in the UK back in 1956, to the hugely popular "A Little Less Conversation" -- the number 1 JXL remix that was released in 2002 and reaffirmed the British adoration for the hip-swivelling King of rock'n'roll. The selection features the biggest UK smash hits, encompassing many genres and amazingly all 75 of these songs were Top 20 hits! Similar CDs

CD ReviewsNice selection, some overlap with Elv1s DigitalBug | 12/29/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Probably the most popular Elvis compilation album lately has been Elv1s Elv1s 30 #1 Hits.

Much like the box set, this disc covers the length of Elvis' career, including early sides for Sun, incendiary rock `n' `roll for RCA, hits from the movies, post-Army comebacks, gospel, late-60s Memphis gems, live performances and later studio work from 1972. Unlike the box set, you'll miss his pre-Sun acetate and his post-72 recordings. More importantly, each phase of Elvis' career gets only one or a few cuts here, and the lesser known tracks that provide compelling context in the box set are dropped. Obviously, a career as rich as Elvis Presley's can't be summed up in a single disc. Even his Top 10 hits won't fit on a single CD, and there's so much material beyond the charts that a fair hearing of the King's catalog really takes multiple discs or sets. 30 #1 Hits painted a picture of Presley's career through a recitation of his best-known hits; it's a fair summary, as is the broader 2-1/2 CD Essential 3.0. But none of these short collections, this one included, provide enough depth on Elvis' innovations, failures and resurgences to really essay the full arc of his career. A single disc such as this can serve as a map to an artist's career, but it's no substitute for a more thorough hearing. What's here is fantastic. From the early rave-up of Arthur "Big Boy" Cruddup's "That's All Right" through the deeply-felt "Always On My Mind," Elvis is nothing less than brilliant. The disc is nicely programmed and plays well, but with so few tracks to provide context, you'll have to figure out for yourself how Elvis got from "Viva Las Vegas" to "How Great Thou Art." If you want to dig deeper, seek out the 4-CD box, or sets that survey his 50s, 60s and 70s masters, soundtracks, sessions at Sun and American Studios, his '68 comeback special, and his numerous live recordings. The disc is delivered in a two-section digipack featuring a pair of full-panel Presley photos. The 16-page booklet includes a short biographical essay by Billy Altman (seemingly excerpted from his much longer essay in the box set), additional photos, and recording and chart data. If you think you only need one disc of Elvis Presley's music, this isn't a bad place to get an earful, but be forewarned that it's a gateway to a large catalog that you may find yourself unable to resist.

And this is another wonderful collect of his songs at a very reasonable price. I would recommend this album to young and old alike!"
