Elvis Presley Elvis: Hound Dog & Other Hits

3CDs packed with no fewer than 78 classic tracks from the era of the jukebox.This nostalgic collection brings together some of the greatest names in 50s & 60s pop, soul and rock & roll and includes hits from the likes of Elvis Presley, The Beach Boys, Tom Jones, Buddy Holly, Dusty Springfield, Johnny Cash, The Supremes and many more…

We got to know music composer Vic Van De Reijt on his previous compilations (with his hundred favorite French, German and 'Suri-Vlame' hits) as a man with an omnivorous taste in music, who managed to forge well-known and obscure hits together into a beautiful whole. The fifties are central to this compilation album. An exciting job, because there are quite a few fifties collectors in circulation. In the accompanying booklet, Van de Reijt defends his choices, especially to opt for the original versions and why he did not choose a Dutch repertoire ('they simply couldn't compete with other countries'). The five CDs are divided into one with instrumental songs, one with male and one with female soloists, one rock and roll CD and, the best, a CD with novelty hits.
