What more can be said ? Elvis was the buzz in 1956. Nothing else really mattered as far as teenagers were concerned. This is a must have album for any Elvis fan or any fan of vintage rock and roll.

Elvis' biggest selling rac' uh record came from this LP. Hound Dog b/w Don't Be Cruel. There is no debating the impact this single had on the music world.

Personally my favorite is the much underrated Anyplace Is Paradise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock 'n' roll classic, October 26, 2003

This review is from: Elvis (Audio CD)

Elvis Presley's 2nd LP, originally released in October 1956 and a classic rock 'n' roll album. With the exception of "So Glad You're Mine" the 12 tracks on the original LP were all cut at the three day studio session for RCA in September 1956 and presented the characteristic and wholly spontaneous blend of rock, country, and rhythm 'n' blues which conquered the music world in those days. At the same time Elvis revealed another side of his talent with the ballads "Playing For Keeps" and especially the stunning "Love Me".

For the present CD re-issue some more hits from other 1956 sessions have been added for good measure. By adding "Too Much", not included on the original LP, the listener now has the complete September 1956 session on one CD. Required listening for anyone caring for rock music.
