This compilation of killer Elvis Presley sides is drawn from EPs issued in the United States between 1956-62, a period which many of his fans regard as his purple patch. All aspects of his output are featured, i.e. wild Rockers, R&B covers, beat ballads, movie soundtracks, seasonal favourites, even slow ballads. It steers clear of his early hit singles, which are widely available on other Jasmine CDs, concentrating on LP and dedicated EP tracks. Nonetheless Elvis' LPs and EPs routinely sold in their multi-millions at this time and many of these sides - e.g. 'Money Honey', 'Paralyzed', 'Old Shep', 'Anyplace Is Paradise', 'Blue Christmas', 'Trouble', and 'Follow That Dream' - were hugely popular in their own right, while tracks like 'Lawdy Miss Clawdy', 'Rip It Up', and 'King Creole' were hits in the UK.
