Album 2. Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley

This one is pretty easy. I love early Elvis so know all the tracks on offer here quite well. It still impresses me at how it was possible to take what is quite an unusual vocal style and successfully apply it across so many musical genres. This debut, along with "Elvis", "Elvis is Back" and "From Elvis in Memphis" (Imaginative titles) represents what I believe to be his best work.

It's worth noting that I'm listening to the 1999 CD re-issue of the album which contains 6 extra tracks not on the original release as practice at the time was to not include singles on albums.
