A Collection True to Its Title

"Pure Gold" is a perfect choice if you're looking to buy just one Elvis CD. This collection has a great mix of some of his most well known hits ("Jailhouse Rock", "Don't Be Cruel", "All Shook Up", "Love Me Tender") combined with songs that hint at Elvis' other flavors, like "Kentucky Rain", which leans toward his Southern side, the mellow and jazzy "Fever", and the haunting ballad, "In The Ghetto".

If you're looking for the ultimate collection of all of Elvis' big hits, though, this album might be a good start for you but will probably fall short.

Great Music For The Elvis Fan

I gave the album a 4 because of the horrible album cover. Did Elvis just walk off the set of Planet Of The Apes when this photo was snapped? I didn't know he guest starred on the show! Roddy McDowell would be proud with the look Elvis has got going on this album cover! The album is classic Elvis and is great (As long as you can keep your lunch down by not looking at the cover!)
