[@myelvischannel1992]

Got to agree with you. I love the country album to. Would rather have the l was born about 10,000 years ago missing from the album. Although you can listen to the whole tracks now on other albums.

Great election Ed ,I love "His Hand In Mine "album the rest is the same order for me too!!

[@ROCKINGMAN]

The debut Elvis album from'56 is one of the most beautiful, greatest of any R'n'R albums. In the UK it was called 'Rock 'n' Roll number 1'and had a slightly different tack listing. Strangely, in France it wasn't released until 1966.

[@williedesmond8201]

That's a very hard one to beat love the videos

From Elvis in Memphis #1

[@josejurado9644]

I have the same t-shirt than you bought at the London O2 years ago when I went to see Elvis the concert. Have worn it twice I reckon. Keeping it to last as much as possible for it is one of the best Elvis t shirts I have ever seen.

[@itekani]

I have a total of 16 LPs and two CD with Elvis, so it's a bit of a stretch to make a top ten studio albums. :) Interesting to see some that I missed. I listened to Elvis as a kid from tapes of my cousin's LPs. Those were some of the early RCA and Sun records. When I got older I collected CDs and not much Elvis. Now since a couple of years I got a vinyl player and wanted to revisit Elvis. But now I am more interested in the post '68 stuff. That means your first two picks are not in my collection, but I got The Beginning Years 1954-1956 which is pretty interesting and would go on my list. The followup to From Elvis in Memphis seems like a must have for me, good tip! The Country album I considered buying, but after listening to it on Spotify I really couldn't. The song that fades in and out between the tracks ruins the album for me. One album I was missing in your lineup is the "Fool" album. It is really a good one. You should get if if you don't already have it. I also have a compilation of love songs just to get the studio version of Always on my mind. I don't know if it made it to any studio album in his lifetime?

[@rossi7394]

Great stuff buddy. You could've picked any 10 albums, and I still would've loved it. Elvis will rock forever!!! Great video. Take care.

[@Rock4UNow]

Outside of "That's The Way It Is" no Soundtracks? Loving You & King Creole must've been tough to narrow it down. I'm going to try it. How about all the Subscribers show us your Top Ten Studio LPs. Thanks for sharing Ed.

Your video got me to take out The Other Sides box.. sounds so good. I haven’t listened to it in maybe 30 years. I remember when I first got the LP set and heard Patch It Up. Wow...had never heard the studio version before. Probably got it in 1972 or so. Thanks Ed.

[@paulorlando5877]

Elvis is back is tops imo.

[@djreid]

Very good selection. I am surprised you didn't include the first 50 worldwide gold award hits. Nice colored vinyl to your collection. I think King Creole album is superior and the TV Special too. What about Blue Hawaii ? Got to be in the Top 20 and Something for Everybody. Your best choice was having Elvis in Memphis in your Top 10. Definitely the dark horse winner there. Well done.

[@annemurrayfan80]

[@car-or-ock616]

How about Moody Blue, the 24th and final studio album? It's really half an album, right? It seems cobbled together. But 'Moody Blue' is such an incredible track it beckons a re-examination. The first three tracks on Side One are his last three recordings. For an artist that put so much down on tape, this fact alone elevates the work to a special place. He is playing the piano on 'Unchained Melody'; dusting off the first of two Olivia Newton-John hits from 1973-74; and clowning with the audience riffing The Diamond's, 'Little Darlin', recorded by the Canadian quartet all the way back in 1957. Side Two starts with a commercial single. 'Way Down' that lacks the drive of 'Promised Land' (1974). Yet, in the delivery Elvis bests the musicians. The next track puts the theme of the album in perspective. The original was released just after (The Late Great) Johnny Ace committed suicide in 1954. This is another Elvis album unapologetically aimed at matters of the heart. I put 'Moody Blue' in context. We are in the summer of '77. The Disco Explosion is on. Donna Summer released 'I Feel Love' in July. 'Moody Blue' skips along like a flat rock hurled at a lake on a sunny, sleepy afternoon. It speaks honestly of the twists and turns of a love affair. Elvis is mixing rock, rhythm, country, and blues on the same album and getting away with it. 'She Thinks I Still Care' holds its own. It's George Jones singing to Tammy Wynette (1962); Elvis singing to Priscilla. Hard core. The closer is all Elvis. He ends the album by closing the loop with a show tune from Lloyd-Webber & Rice. We are hurled back to the first track. He will sit at the piano again and accompany himself on the vocally challenging Everly Brother's monster hit from 1965. Fourteen years later, in 1990, when the producers of the movie 'Ghost' went searching for a song to capture the sense of a great loss they went to the same source. The movie had the 3rd all-time grossing box office at the time of its release. That is where Elvis was driving on his 24th album, capturing the sense of a great loss. 'Moody Blue' the album is forever complicated and intertwined with the passing of the greatest American entertainer of all time. But at its core it is a strong, consistent effort on a topic that touches everyone deeply. It is all the more remarkable for having been made and released at lowest point of the artist's life.

Hi Ed, Greetings from Perth, Western Australia. I really enjoy your videos. I have been an Elvis fan since my earliest memories. I have a question and I guess looking for your Elvis advice. I notice that you are not keen on the Speakers Corner releases of Elvis albums but you really seem to enjoy the Friday Music pressings instead. I want to start buying newer pressings of records to add to my collection as some of my originals are a bit scratchy and sometimes difficult to listen to (Ebay sellers are not always honest with their grading). I have read that Speakers Corner releases are 100% analogue so I thought would surely be as close to sounding like the original pressings - they certainly look original. I have also read that Friday Music pressings are simply copied from CD, if this is true, would they sound any different to the Elvis albums I have on CD? I particularly like the look of your ELVIS PRESLEY (his first album from 1956) as it looks the closest to the original '56 cover I have seen - it looks identical on your video - plus I'm not sure what to make of coloured vinyl (in general) but that blue vinyl does look great mate. I notice Friday music does also do Loving you and King Creole - i have the 1980s fake stereo releases I bought as a child and dont like that fake sound (even though I love the songs themselves) - I can't tell you how many times I have bought originals (from Ebay) of these two albums and always were listed as excellent or NM and sadly they are too scratched to enjoy listening to. I would really appreciate your thoughts on Speakers Corner, Friday music, or just general advice on how to fix my collection - I'd like to find a sound that is as close to the original pressings (when they were new) as possible. Your thoughts would be most appreciated. Cheers mate, Vak.

[@TheKingsCourt1972]

Friday music may be digitally sourced, but they all sounded great to me. Problem now is they are mostly out of print. If you like Speakers Corner then go with them. I had a bad experience when I bought from them my first time and it turned out to be my last time. Go with what you like. Mostly all new vinyl is digitally sourced unless noted otherwise…and even then, there’s still digital steps added, so…

[@TheKingsCourt1972]

Go with original pressings if possible. They are always your best bet for original mixes/mastering.

[@vkyriaco]

@@TheKingsCourt1972 Thanks Ed! 👍I really appreciate your answer. Please keep up the great videos!

[@vkyriaco]

@@TheKingsCourt1972 I just got so disheartened as I bought original pressings of King Creole and Loving You, four times each now and they click and crackle all the way through - totally ruins the listening experience! There is a huge online company here in Australia called Sanity (they used to have actual shops to go in and look at everything but closed all the actual shops last year so only online now) that still do the Friday Music pressings in “Back order 15 to 30 days”! If they are good enough for you, they will certainly be good enough for me… by the way, lovely dogs!! All the best mate, Vak…

I get the whole self-torture aspect of this, but it's too "stereotypical non-Elvis savvy" to skip from a 1960 album to the next one being a 1969 album. All I ever hear from the "public discourse" is Elvis was absent musically in the sixties because he was making bad movies. This fuels that ignorance especially coming from a fan imo...

[@TheKingsCourt1972]

LP wise, there was nothing I felt should be in my list. Yes there are brilliant songs from 1961-1968, but most are not even on LP’s,
