"Elvis' Golden Records" is the first compilation LP album by Elvis Presley na RCA.
It was released on RCA Victor, catalog number LPM 1707, on March 21, 1958.
It contained 14 tracks released as singles in 1956 and 1957.
The LP features eight singles that reached #1 on the charts and five B-sides that reached positions between #2 and #40.
The only exception to this rule is the song "Love Me", which was not released as a single but garnered much public attention on its original release on the 1956 LP "ELVIS", the singer's second for RCA.
the LP became an immediate best seller as it contained all the singles that had ranked #1 on the charts in the previous two years.
Unlike what they usually did, RCA decided not to release a single to please buyers and instead chose to sell singles with more recent recordings, which would only appear again towards the end of 1959 on the LP "Elvis' Gold Records Vol. 2", and a single to promote the movie "King Creole".
Reaching number three on the national charts, the record was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on October 17, 1961, Platinum on May 20, 1988, and 5x Platinum on March 27, 1992.
On July 15, 1997, the label released a remastered CD with six extra tracks, which earned the album 6x Platinum certification on August 17, 1999, making it one of Elvis Presley's best-selling compilations and his second best-selling work. in the world (the first being RCA Camden's 1970 reissue of "Elvis' Christmas Album", which has an unprecedented 10x Platinum certification).
