But someone stole it from me! I'm sure I know who did it, but I did not confront them, as I felt that as a supposed friend, they should live with their guilt, Lol. Finally got it again and it is FABULOUS. All Elvis fans must get this for their collection. You won't be disappointed.

The CD case was cracked, it looked like it had been completely under water. The CD does work. If it hadn't worked when I put it in my car I would have sent it back. The brochure in the case was completely stuck together. Couldn't even turn the pages That made me mad because I wanted to read it but couldn't. Didn't pay much for it but at least I got the CD

I bought this CD after having owned the "Second to None" CD for about 2 years now and playing the heck out of it. The "Second..." CD is the sequel to the "30 #1 Hits", and, well, it's better than the first one. The "30 #1 Hits" are mostly the overplayed Elvis stuff that you've probably heard more than enough of for the rest of your lifetime. (Well, my stepfather is an Elvis freak - so I was forced to listen to it growing up.) The tracks I most enjoy are the ones which were #1 on the European charts and weren't played as much back in the USA. Especially a little number Elvis delivers in German - you wonder if that was the ballad he sung Priscilla to woo her into his arms and out of her country. The #1 hits from his later years are just the real jewels on here for me - Hunk of Burnin' Love, In The Ghetto, Way Down, Suspicious Minds. And on the "Second..." CD, they're even more fun - Moody Blue, Ol' Kentucky Rain, Battle Hymn of the Republic. The liner notes on "30..." are interesting, since they give little blurbs on each recording individually. You get a timeline, through this, of Elvis's life and his progression and, then, regression. Man, I miss The King.Read full review
I'm a big Elvis fan! I think a wide variety of people with different musical tastes are like that. He set the bar pretty high. I'm a complete metal head and Elvis is just plain fun to listen to, PLUS he was controversial with his hip shaking. Haha! I don't always like "Greatest Hits" albums because I'd rather have the regular ones but almost every Elvis song was a hit. So this is a great buy! LOTS of songs on here.

The first problem i had with this collection, was the fact that a big hunk o love was a (non released version), then, i went and looked at some of my chart info,,, some of the songs not listed, at #1, by billboard,,, were # 1s, by the other top ten charts????? So, who really can say how many #1s, elvis really had????? Keep in mind,,, billboard had led zeppelin 4, at #2, for 4 weeks, while the other 3 major chart folks, had them at #1, for 4 weeks???? also,, to suite the beatle fans,,, they redid there charts, at a time when there song something, and its flip side, were at the bottom, of the top ten,,,the next week,, they had the top spot,, even though,, a week before,, the single, had peaked,, and was falling out, of the top ten????? That aside,, its a good deal,,,, but i prefer, the world wide gold hits set, much more,,hits, and not limited to what billboard claims, anybody remember payola??????Read full review
If you are a true Elvis fan, you will definitely love this album. If you would just like more exposure to "The King's" music, this is the perfect opportunity. This is a great Elvis starter kit at the very least. I, however, did not know Elvis had so many...softer rock songs. If you don't know many Elvis songs, and you're looking for more songs like "Jailhouse Rock," and "Viva Las Vegas," you may be a bit disappointed. I was also disappointed by the fact that "Viva Las Vegas" wasn't even included in these hits. Oh, well. Best track, in my opinion, was definitely the latest/last song "Little Less Conversation." Overall, 30 #1 Hits is itself a hit. Check it out.
