Review

The year that Elvis Presley broke through nationally and brought rock & roll to the fore with him, 1956, was a transitional period in pop music. To accurately represent the year's biggest hits, a 24-track compilation would have to feature five Presley recordings. This 24-track compilation has one -- "Love Me Tender," a Presley ballad far removed from the missing "Don't Be Cruel" (the year's top hit) and "Hound Dog" (the runner up)....
