When RCA Records purchased Elvis Presley's contract and a back catalog that numbered only five singles and a handful of outtakes from Sun Records owner Sam Phillips for $35,000, few involved could have dreamed that the modest deal would change American music forever. This 1956 collection was Presley's first proper album (and arguably rock's first great LP), a release that both broke him to a national audience and became an enduring piece of pop-cultural iconography. Anchored by take-no-prisoners covers of fellow Sun rockabilly pioneer Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes," Ray Charles's "I Got a Woman," and Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti," it's an album where Presley forcefully hammers nascent rock 'n' roll into his own sultry image. But, as the bonus track of the breakout single "Heartbreak Hotel" and performances of Sun's "Blue Moon," the country ballad "I'm Counting on You," and "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You" ably attest, the 21-year-old Elvis possessed a mature, remarkable vocal range far beyond the hip-swiveling, sexually-charged hillbilly cat that was too often his caricature. A classic rock album a decade before there was such a thing--and one of Presley's most consistent and rewarding releases. --Jerry McCulley

The fact that RCA Victor (who owned the copyright) has reissued the original LP plus six bonus tracks, is only one step in the right direction. They say comparisons are odious, but in England Avid has reissued the same first LP, plus thirteen bonus tracks, on AMSC 931. Which still weighs in at under an hour's playing time, so RCA have been somewhat less than generous with these sides, which must have recouped their investment many times over. Hence the four star rating.

I'm to young to of listened to this when it was originally released, But I bought it and I love it. Tracks like "I Got A Woman", "One-Sided Love Affair" and "Blue Moon" are all very catchy and very exciting. "Blue Moon" is my favourite track on the album, it's a sad ballad featuring a sparse arrengement that's simply yet catchy. "Heartbreak Hotel" is the biggest hit from the album, and it's fantastic. Elvis Presley changed it so much from how it was written that he got song-writing credit, which ... Read More

This is an interesting debut. The original album contains no hit singles except for his version of Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes," and some of these songs were left over Sun sessions. The whole thing feels like a collection of B-sides, not the atomic debut of a rock 'n' roll god. However, while it may not be the masterpiece that some would claim, it is still a good album, and every fan of rock 'n' roll should hear it. It's a great listen because it doesn't contain an abundance of hits, even though ... Read More

Elvis Presley *****
This is Elvis' ground breaking first studio album which was originaly relreased way back in 1956 and remarcably still sounds fantastic. When this was first released it sold 300,000 copies in it's first year alone. Now that may not seem like much but back then that was like going triple platinum, so it was quit the feet. It helped establish Elvis as the new rock 'n roll star and ultamitly the 'King.'
Full of rolicking rock-a-billy songs such as the gosphel ... Read More
