 A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION Nov 18, 2008
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.

fun, Fun, FUN!! Nov 04, 2008
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 shows that Elvis was just got a singer but also a talented arrenger. "Money Honey" is a good example of the sexy yet G-Rated rock'n'roll which Elvis practically invented. Ignore those dumb hipsters and enjoy one of Rock'n'Roll's great deputs, which is current at a bargain price due to the european legal system (it's a long story!).

An interesting debut by The King Jul 24, 2008
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 this reissue adds a few as bonus tracks. I love Elvis, so I love this album. As far as my ears are concerned, there are no bad songs on here, and the highlight is Elvis' depressing version of "Blue Moon," which is unlike any other version I've ever heard of this song.

GOD SAVE THE KING!!! Feb 21, 2008
This was the first effor of someone who demostrated to be one of the best voices the world have ever heard; Elvis was the most carismatic artist and singer in history and this cd is an invaluable jewel to everyone who loves the original and classic Rock'n'Roll music; incredible pieces like BLUE SUEDE SHOES, TUTTY FRUTTY and MONEY HONEY; number one songs like HEARTBREAK HOTEL, I WANT YOU I NEED YOU I LOVE YOU and brilliant ballads like BLUE MOON and I'M COUNTING ON YOU; with this disc Elvis was catapulted to the great years of RCA and his unforgettable fame!!
