ELVIS COSTELLO "the man:the very best of...." cd, 1986
the first compilation of Elvis' music(and still the best one IMO)....
contains seventeen of his hits from the first decade of his career....
such a large variety of styles in his music, you dont really notice it as much on an album by album basis but when they are presented as a singles collection you truly get the scope of what he can do....and IMO,Elvis has few peers with his consistany,quality and allround versitility, a true living legend of rock music in the last thirty five or so years....
of the seventeen tracks on offer, thirteen get love scores from me,four of them i like, so this equates to 2.8 from me...
this is essential purchasing for the casual listener or a new listener to Elvis' career...
selections from the album:
