Album: 24 Karat Hits! by Elvis Presley (1997)
Genre: Rock & Roll | Style: Rock/Pop | Mood: Excitable
Record Label: RCA
Format: Compilation

Description: It's 24 tracks, and it's on one of those terrific-sounding gold discs, get it? Actually, the tracks--spanning 1956 through 1969--are pretty obvious, albeit random. Completists and major fans will simply want the various box sets. And when you consider that most of these hits sounded awesome blaring from a transistor radio ... well, if you really need to go gold, you might consider Elvis Is Back, his most fully realized (and stereo) album, instead. Besides, when it comes to Elvis, 24 tracks just ain't enough. --Bill Holdship
