I was wondering John, what your top three Elvis records/cd's would be?

I always seem to listen to a variety of greatest hit collections, but what in your (and Eddie's opinion if we can ask him) are his best three albums that are not compilations etc?

Many thanks

Pete

Or, because Elvis recorded so many songs what about his best two albums from early in his career and the best two in the later end of his output??

Eddie has very kindly provided me with his favourite Elvis Presley albums.
They range from the years 1958, 1957,1956, 1960.

Here are Eddie's choices:

I am most grateful to Eddie for suppling this info.
I will be now adding these albums to my amazon unlimited music library to listen to whilst I'm on holiday in a few weeks time.
Now, I wonder if that other Elvis aficionado, Lucky Star (John) agrees with Eddies list!

Eddie's list is absolutely the same as my own Pete. Those five albums represent the very best of Elvis' original early albums. The only necessary addition would be this compilation from the 70s. I know you said original albums only but you can't listen to Elvis without his early Sun Studio recordings.

From his later period you can't go wrong with these two stunners.

Many thanks John.
I'm going to immerse myself in Elvis whilst away - I will post my stand out tracks on each record here to see how they compare with yours and Eddie's maybe.
