Elvis Presley Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits (CD, RCA Records, 2002) *****

I kept a couple of the movie soundtracks out of some kind of nostalgia. I watched an Elvis movie by accident when I was a kid (it was Flaming Star - I thought it was a western). The soundtracks tend to be brief, but listenable. Musically, we are deep into coasting territory by this time. That said, there are two or three bright moments on each one (One Broken Heart For Sale; Slowly But Surely).
Today was his 22 studio album and contains the country/ pop hybrid Elvis that I remember from the seventies. It turned out to be his last full studio album he recorded and it's a fitting testimonial to his talents.
Genre: Pop, Rock'n'Roll
Places I remember: Shona Walding collection
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Blue Suede Shoes (Elvis Presley)
Gear costume: A Big Hunk o' Love (Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits)

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5
Active compensatory factors: My parents were jazz fans, and I was born in 1957, so - too late to grow up and appreciate Elvis, as the generation before me did.

Instead, I have a few albums that were gifted to me over the years. Roger Marbeck gave me a copy of the debut album and the rest of my Elvis albums are from Shona's collection - given to me by her sister, Terese.

That leaves the greatest hits package - 30 #1 Hits. It's a terrific collection, containing my favourite Elvis moments: A Big Hunk o' Love; Suspicious Minds, It's Now or Never, Burning Love and those early ones from the fifties.
Where do they all belong? And that's it for The King. First, last and in between - I'm pretty happy with that overview. I have a few Sun Records compilations as well, which he appears on, so that's also nice to have for a full picture.
