Elv1s 30 # 1 Hits This album of 31 (strangely) songs was released in 2002 and can now be bought on iTunes for £5.99. Now as some of you know, my musical tastes are varied to say the least and I cannot not review something by Elvis for two reasons; firstly he had a profound impact on me as a boy (6-11), I loved his songs, I loved a lot of his films and I thought he was ultra cool, especially in the '68 comeback tour.

This CD is available from Amazon UK for less than £5 and as an Elvis fan I have to say that it is an absolute bargain. The CD features all 31 Elvis singles that made it to number 1 in the charts in either Britain or America.
