Picked this up back in 1988 when it was first released. CD's were just starting to take off in popularity in the mid to late 80's, so this was a welcome addition back then.

It was produced by TimeLife Music and captured 22 songs Elvis recorded between 1954 and 1961. It came with a 7 page booklet that was informative and had a couple of pictures in it. In addition, the booklet indicated the date and city where each song was recorded and the highest chart position each song achieved.

Not a bad cd for its day....Here's the complete track listing:

That's All Right Mama
Heartbreak Hotel
Hound Dog
Love Me Tender
Don't Be Cruel
All Shook Up
I Wan't You, I Need You, I Love You
Jailhouse Rock
Love Me
Teddy Bear
Too Much
Hard Headed Woman
One Night
Wear My Ring Around Your Neck
A Fool Such As I
Don't
A Big Hunk O' Love
It's Now or Never
Stuck on You
Are You Lonesome Tonight
Little Sister
Can't Help Falling In Love
