Thank you! I hope the new film can introduce Elvis to more younger people because his legacy deserves to be preserved. I feel that though his songs are still well known, his talent and importance as an artist isn’t recognised as much as it should be. But I will always love Elvis!

My ranking: 9. Christmas Album 8. Loving You 7. Elvis ------------------------- 6. Gold Records Vol 2 5. King Creole 4. A Date With Elvis ------------------------------- 3. Elvis Presley 2. For LP Fans Only 1. Golden Records The 1-3 albums are so close it is hard to decide. I listen to For LP Fans Only and Elvis Presley a lot more than I do Golden Records because I have been listening to Golden Records since 1962 and most of those songs are played every day all on the radio and such. If not for Santa Claus Is Back In Town and Blue Christmas, I would probably not care for Christmas Album as much as I do. Loving You only has two songs I really love, Mean Woman Blues and Teddy Bear. Lonesome Cowboy I like for some weird reason. Not a fan of Teddy Bear. The others are a bit blah. Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do is what Hollywood thinks RnR is. Elvis has a lot of good material, but the echoey sound on Elvis' voice makes the whole album sound muddy. So Glad You're Mine is the best song, follow by pure maudlin drudgery: Old Shep. Gold Records Vol 2 has a few teenage songs that bring it down, such as Wear My Ring Around Your Neck and I Need Your Love Tonight. And it only has 10 songs. But then again there were only three songs released at this point not on LP in the US: Let Me, I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine and the Jailhouse Rock version of Don't Leave Me Now. None of these three really qualify for Gold Records. The UK version included songs already on LP, which makes them redundant. In fact I do not think Loving You or Teddy Bear should have been on the 1st Golden Records! King Creole. My favorite Elvis soundtrack LP of all time. Yes, I really like Crawfish, especially the direct mono feed verson with Kitty Wells' voice recorded very dry. (the LP was mastered from Binaural tapes and they added a lot of reverb to her voice post production). I also prefer the more dynamic and undubbed version of Lover Doll from the EP. A Date With Elvis does not have single bad song on the whole album. I wish they saw fit to include Don't Leave Me Now from Jailhouse Rock. I had to buy the South African Jailhouse Rock LP to get that song on an LP! The UK version has 14 songs. They dump ALL the Jailhouse Rock songs and I Forgot To Remember To Forget, add 3 songs from the US debut LP and 3 songs from the UK debut LP but they pick up Let Me and I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine. Elvis Presley. Probably the only song I get tired of is I Love You Because, and to a lesser extend Just Because. The other 3 Sun cuts are fantastic. All the songs from the first two RCA session (first in Nashville, second in NYC) are great. In fact the NYC session was the last Elvis did in his original style before the music/movie industries took over his career. The UK version is dynamite. I would rank the UK version of the debute LP well above Golden Records any day without hesitation. This is the LP that inspired Lennon and McCartney. It is atomic! I would rank it above ANY LP Elvis every made, including From Elvis In Memphis and Elvis Is Back. For LP Fans Only. The only dud is Poor Boy. I actually prefer We're Gonna Move over this song and Let Me is the worst of the Love Me Tender soundtrack. Anyway any LP that includes both My Baby Left Me and Mystery Train can't be wrong! Golden Records. Well, it is just totally awesome. I would have replaced Teddy Bear with I Was The One, replaced Loving You with My Baby Left Me and Love Me with Playing For Keeps. That would have allowed for Let Me, Don't Leave Me Now and I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine to be on For LP Fans Only. This would accomplish two things. Not have a song appear on more than one LP and it would have put ALL released songs from the 1950s on LP. Even though it would have not diminished the greatness of Golden Records, the downside is it would have sunk the greatness of For LP Fans Only.

Although all these 50s LPs would go on to be fabulous sellers, one might be surprised the sales rankings of these album in the US during each of their initial chart run. From worst to best: Gold Records V2 120K units sold during initial chart run A Date With Elvis >150K units For LP Fans Only 150K units Golden Records 150K units Christmas Album 200K units King Creole 250K units (and it was released only AFTER the two EPs sold 500K each!) Elvis Presley 300K units Loving You 350K units Elvis 500K units The one that shocked me the most was Golden Records. i suppose everyone had those songs on singles and 45EPs which rendered the album not all that needed back in the day. Of course it went on to be one of his best sellers ever. The Christmas album was a perennial. And he Camden version sold 10 Million units . Most of the material, except for a couple of songs were available on 45 Extended Play. Most of Elvis's Extended Play albums sold incredibly well. Many kids did not have a record player that would even accommodate an LP.

That’s interesting data where did you get it from? You are right about the LPs being lower sellers relative to 45s but I think it makes sense that his second album is the highest seller as that is sort of the peak of his commercial breakout at the end of 56, and none of the songs on that album would really feature on singles.

Other sources include A Life In Music, the booklet inside the UK boxset 20 Original Albums, the book inside The Album Collection and a lifetime of reading articles and books that I no longer have access to.

Good picks. Everything he released in the 50s was at least great so it’s hard to choose.
