Artist: Elvis Presley Rating: Release Date: 1983Type: Compilation (best of)Genre: Rock
Review If this compilation of 11 rockabilly tunes from 1956-1960 sounds unusually contemporary -- true stereo, booming bass, etc. -- it's because reissue producers
Tony Brown and
David Briggs have overdubbed new tracks on the old tapes. The first
Elvis Presley album to credit a computer technician, I Was the One is the aural equivalent of a colorized movie -- it sounds sharp, but phony. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
