50,000,000 Elvis Freaks Can't Be Wrong, November 26, 1999
This review is from: 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
Even if you own the 50's box set it is nice to own the individual albums especially since RCA has finally done the right thing and reissued this album with all the gold certificates he had at the time of original release and not just a portion. The original album only had twelve tracks but the newly released compact disk has twenty tracks. It's a classy album from head to toe and the music sounds great ! My personal favorites on this album are One night and A Fool Such AS I.

Dressed For Success, RCAs Golden Boy, March 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
These songs were recorded while Eisenhower was president. Most of what Ike did was OK but it didn't have the impact or lasting effect of these and other Elvis 50s songs. Elvis was the style leader of the 20th Century and these songs are evidence of his importance. The guitar work on "I Need Your Love Tonight" and the raw enthusiasm will still get hearts pounding faster. "One Night" was written by Antoine "Fats" Domino. Elvis cut 2 versions of this. This album features the safe hit lyrics. For the other version check out "Elvis, A Legendary Performer, Vol. 4." "Don't" is a nice slow rock Leiber-Stoller tune. The picture on the cover shows a fifties, sideburned Elvis in his gold lame outfit. "A Fool Such as I" was a hit for Elvis' second manager, Hank Snow. Elvis first manager was Dewey Phillips, a Memphis dj. His third was Colonel Tom. This is a good album for Elvis fans and rockabilly lovers. RCAs best packaging of their fifties golden boy. The songs aren't as good as his earlier hits but overall this was and still is a winner.

great early elvis, May 20, 2006
This review is from: 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
Recently, I decided to check out Elvis Golden Records volume 2. The version I have is the original 10 track album that runs about 22 minutes. Big Hunk o' Love, and many other of Elvis' gold singles make up this collection. This along with Golden Records volume 1, are great places to start building your elvis collection.
