• This release compiles all of Elvis Presley’s top 20 Billboard Hits during the years of 1956-1958, beginning with his first across-the- board chart hit “Heartbreak Hotel”.

• These small band recordings are widely regarded as the finest work of the King’s career and among the greatest recordings in rock and roll history! As a bonus, Elvis’ next two highest chart hits during this period have been included.

• Total Time: 55:55 - 25 tracks - Contains 12-page comprehensive booklet.

• “Elvis had a good sense of timing and rhythm. He didn’t know a whole lotta chords, but those he knew, he really could use ‘em. And he’d play a little bass, a little drums… He had rhythm in his voice, he just had a natural thing about that. He could hear a song, and he knew what he could do with that song. And nobody else could do it. They’re still imitating him today but they just can’t do it. They just don’t have whatever it is that Elvis had.” – Scotty Moore.
