If you own no Elvis, this is a great place to start. A sparkling collection of raw rock, pop and wail. Songs get progressively more pop/sugar ballad down the list; the listener can feel the influence (sigh) of the market on the choice of songs. There are some bizarre songs like "Wooden Heart", but many keepers that make the disc a real treasure. I can't help wondering what Elvis would think of the "Conversation" remix. Hmmm.
