Brief History : RCA and the Elvis estate made no bones about
their intention on replicating the blockbuster success of
the Beatles' The Beatles 1 with their own single-disc collection
of number one hits -- hence, the 2002 release of Elvis: 30
#1 Hits. The idea of collecting all the number one hits is
simple enough, but there are problems inherent with the concept,
not the least of which is that RCA did this once before.
Unlike the Beatles, who went through numerous changes in just
seven years of recording, Elvis had nearly three times as
many years' worth of material and hits to choose from. Also,
he hit on a number of different charts -- not just pop, but
also R&B, country, and adult contemporary.
Furthermore, where almost all of the Beatles' number one hits
sampled at least part of their music, there are significant
chunks of Elvis' best material -- including the visionary
sides for Sun -- that didn't hit the top of the charts. All
of this makes assembling a similar comprehensive sampler of
Elvis' biggest hits much more difficult, and it doesn't help
that RCA has decided not to have a rigid aesthetic and sample
from different charts all over the world, resulting in a collection
that feels more of a patchwork than it should, even if the
bulk of the material is from the early '60s; at least five
songs feel like they should have been replaced with better,
and better-known, sides. And, even if much of this material
is exceedingly familiar, there also feels like there is a
lot missing because, frankly, there is.
No Sun singles and very little from his classic 1968 comeback
or early-'70s hits like "Moody Blue," not to mention
sides that would showcase Elvis "the rocker" better
than what's here, which plays closer to Elvis the '60s pop
crooner than anything else. And, let's face it, no matter
what the packaging is, Elvis: 30 #1 Hits can't feel that new
because of the veritable flood of Elvis collections RCA has
issued since the King started having hits.
This is a very good compilation, covering many of the basics,
but it's hardly close to the only Elvis disc you'll ever need,
and it's not even that great of a starting place, since it
lacks so much of his best material. (Also, even though this
is one of the most carefully considered compilations of Elvis
hits, it can't help but feel a little shoddy since there's
actually 31 number one hits here, with the addition of the
JXL remix of "A Little Less Conversation" tacked
onto the end, no matter how good the single is.)
