Various The Elvis Sound Vol.1 - Just Like Elvis (CD)

(Classics Records) 30 tracks

Whilst rock 'n' roll was first commercially successful from recordings made by Bill Haley, it was the smouldering package named Elvis Presley that was responsible for the music sweeping the world like a musical avalanche casting aside all before it.

His undoubted musical ability combined with sexual intensity and an astute manager made him the star that he remains to this very day. Such was his impact and influence in the fifties that many many acts moulded themselves on his style, either by being outright copyists or covering his recordings or by incorporating elements of unique talent into their own vocal deliveries and performances.

Classic records proudly presents a compilation of all three of these categories into one dynamite package. Put this shiny wonder into the tray of your record playing machine and prepare to rock....
