Elvis must have recorded a zillion songs, but for one who heard his Sun Records tunes on Southern radio over a year before he went to RCA (and national fame), I would have appreciated some sort of chronology when this CD was put together. I grew up on Elvis and a lot of my memories are invested in his music. How annoying to re-live those times in my mind with one of them only to have one of his later tunes then play. a tune made popular (and oftentimes BETTER) by Tom Jones, Ray Price, Perry Como, Glen Campbell, Neil Diamond, Ray Petersen, Sammi Smith, you name it. That's the period when he became a Vegas lounge singer. As for "You Gave Me a Mountain", check out the ultimate version by Frankie Laine or the one by Marty Robbins (who wrote it). If you have never HEARD of Elvis Presley though, lay your money down;he had the goods and you'll enjoy it.
King of Kings.......2004-04-14
This is a very good starter set, for any one who want's to start listing to Elvis. I would give it five stars however, I have more of his materials.
Even so this is a very good set. I was able to find mine at Sam'sGoodies and for half price ( sales days are awesome. )
In fact this set has a lot of songs that I have never even heard of. So it really isn't a waist of money.
I am still very pleased with it, even though I do have a lot of his music.
You might however find the set with a different CD cover. It took me a while to figure out that this was the same that I have.
Any ways really good Elvis CD set for any Elvis fan.

This CD-set was delivered by kangaroo last week and therefore we have the chance to review it for you now.
Design
The design is not really spectacular. The frontcover is a common picture of Elvis, that was used on a German box-set a couple of years ago. Probably that's the reason that the German version of Legendary Elvis has a different cover. On the three CD's is the same picture from the NBC-special printed, only in different color-shades, which gives the impression that the picture itself differs. We don't particularly like it, it gives a feeling like "couldn't they manage to do it the same way three times", it looks a little sloppy. Also the printing of the cover isn't really of great quality, there are quite some flaws in the main colour that is used, a kind of ochre. The inlay-text is a common "Elvis is the greatest"-story (which of course is true). All in all the finishing touch of this product is missing.
