Elvis Presley
(released in the UK as Elvis Presley Rock n' Roll )
is the debut
studio album
by American singer
The album spent ten weeks
at number one
on the
Billboard Top Pop Albums chart
in 1956,
the first rock and roll album
ever to make it
to the top of the charts,
and the first
million-selling album
of that genre.
In 2003 and 2012,
it was ranked
number 56
on Rolling Stone's
list of the
500 greatest albums
of all time,
and at number 332
in a 2020 revised list.
Elvis Presley
was also one of three
Presley albums
to receive accolades
in the reference book
1001 Albums You Must Hear
Before You Die.
It was certified gold on
November 1, 1966,
and platinum on
August 8, 2011,
by the Recording Industry
Association of America.
Elvis Is Back!
is the fourth
studio album
by American singer
Elvis Presley,
released on
April 8, 1960,
by RCA Victor.
It was Presley's
first album of
new material since
1958's King Creole soundtrack
as well as his first
to be recorded and released
in stereophonic sound.
The album marked Presley's
return to music
after his discharge from
the U.S. Army.
During Presley's
two-year military service
in Germany,
RCA Victor and Paramount Pictures
progressively released material
he had completed
prior to enlistment.
During his last months
in the Army,
Presley began
preparing material
and working on
improving his performance
for his first session in Nashville,
scheduled to take place
upon his return.
Upon returning to
the United States
in March 1960,
the singer reunited with
guitarist
Scotty Moore
and drummer
D.J. Fontana
from his original band,
the Blue Moon Boys,
for two blocks
of sessions in late
March and early April.
The material on the album
has some influences
from the rock and roll
of Presley's early work,
but it also offers
a mix of sophisticated
pop,
blues,
R&B
and the
"Nashville sound"
production values
associated
with Chet Atkins,
who co-produced
the recording sessions
with Steve Sholes.
With public anticipation high,
RCA rushed
Elvis Is Back!
and the standalone single
"Stuck on You"
into release mere days
after Presley finished recording.
The LP topped the
UK Albums Chart
and reached number two
in Billboard's Top LP's.
Initially,
the release received mixed reviews,
but over subsequent years
its critical reception
became more positive,
with critics generally praising
its stylistic variety,
production quality
and mature sound.
Elvis is Back!
was certified Gold
on July 15, 1999,
by the Recording Industry
Association of America.
