Note these are the essential cuts of tracks recorded in Elvis lifetime (i.e. no JXL Re-Mix), spread over 3 discs representing 3 eras of Presley's career (Pre-Army Rock n Roll years - Post-Army Induction thru Hollywood years - '68 Comeback followed by Vegas years).

TONY wrote:"You don't have to say you love me" is NOT essential. Even though it's Ernst's favourite Elvis song and it appears on EVERY love songs and hits compilation, it is a poor second best to Dusty Springfield's version. I have lost count of how many CD's this inferior performance appears on.

Revelator wrote:Good selection GTC, but I'd have included at least one Don Robertson song in there. The trouble with compilations is that sometimes the essential stuff is only so because it sold well, not because it was all that great. "Anything That's Part of You" is, to me at least, far more essential toward gaining a deeper understanding of Elvis than "Good Luck Charm," but it obviously made much less of an impression upon the world, in sales or popularity.
