Ranking: Songs from Elvis Presley - Elvis' Golden Records

   This was Elvis' first compilation.  Comprising songs from 1956/57.  Released in March 1958.  For me this was the first greatest hits album I remember hearing.  The reason is my parents bought a copy after Elvis died in 1977.  In fact they bought a few other Elvis titles after he died.  Now before 1977, my Dad was already a huge Elvis fan.  He bought albums that Elvis recorded in the early 70's.  So, I heard these albums all throughout my young life.  But oddly they never had an Elvis compilation album.  So, this is one has always been close to my heart.  Nine A-Sides, 4 B-sides and one album track.  For many this was where to start with Elvis.
