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

The latest attempt by RCA to cash in on their Elvis catalog, "Elvis 1" is by far the best-sounding compilation of Elvis' hits ever assembled, and will guarantee his presence in the racks of even the smallest CD stores for years to come. It is a testimony to Elvis' immense talent and charisma that, 25+ years after his death, a collection of his hits can be hip, relevant, and a smash.

Elv1s 30 #1 Hits was a great compilation of Elvis and was perfect for the medium for which it was purchased.

This album has some really good music, and Elvis sings from his heart! The band, as usual, is wonderful.

I bought this album and I am glad I did. There are a lot of his top songs on it and it brings back a lot of memories. Anyone buying this album, I am sure, will really like the songs and appreciate Elvis for what he really was: spiritual, a great musician, and a really great entertainer. May he rest in peace.
