Elvis Presley was in a league of his very own I doubt anyone will ever come close . Super album

This is that era from 1960 to 1963 where The world was stuck between the 50s Rock revolution which had died out in the mainstream especially after Elvis went to Germany and The British invasion from 63 that redefined Rock music. In between pop had made a huge Comeback in the charts and Elvis Totally embraced it with his song selection and his melted voice style at that time . He showed that unlike many rock artists from the 50s he was quick to adapt. As he said himself "If music changes i would be foolish not to change with it "

So many great tracks on this album. Hard to believe that 11 of the 12 tracks were recorded by Elvis in a single 12 hour session. My favorite is "I Slipped, I Stumbled, I Fell" followed by "I Want You Baby." Always fun to listen to and watch your reactions. Elvis himself hated the cover pictures on a lot of his albums. He basically said the same thing - that he was tired of looking the same age on all of them. He eventually put his foot down but it was much later.

Follow that dream is my favourite post 50s movies, really enjoyable romp..... Keep up the great reactions to albums and movies 👏👏👏👏👏

Zakk if you want some good acting from El, see the underrated "Flaming Star". Not a lot of singing but he sings the title song and the manager made him put in a birthday song, he wanted NO music in the movie. But that's a excellent movie. It was a sensitive role for him as a half breed Indian, which most people know His great great Grandma on his mother's side was full Cherokee. Similar to me whose people come from NC and Tenn. Thanks for all the good music reviews. Be Blessed

Cracking album.....love the different vibes on A and B sides....Elvis vocals 61' off the charts...all the best from Scotland

Are you actually stupid with the harmonica into the mic comment??? Please get to know the music before your bullshit. And that was made without any fucking technology. I think you're too focused on the champagne. Fucking dumb ass. You just insulted At least three generations with your ignorance.

I was happy to see I have at least a dozen of these in my album collection.

The Rolling Stones loved American blues and they sold it back to the US with their own stamp on it.

Hey zakk, I’m just wondering what happened to the Surfin USA stream and if I can be able to access the rest of it. I was enjoying it and it got taken down right in the middle

It seems like your just picking every song apart, and giggling at them. These were only teenage boys at the time. If you had listened to the music that was out in America at that time (1962), this would have been considered hard rock. You don't have to like them, or only two or three of them, they made enough money off them. This album is still much better than anything out today! Like I've always said,,, "In The Universe Of Rock Music, The Beatles Were The Big Bang!"

Just to push back on facts. Elvis didn't have the most top 20 singles in history. Bing Crosby had 379 . No one comes close to that. In fact he sold more records than any other singer in history.. but somehow he's been completely forgotten. But hey your love for Elvis music is great . I was 7 when he died. I remember watching the news he died,I said to my oldest brother. Who's Elvis? ,he said oh he's just a dead old fat cunt 😮

You need to give their first few songs some credit. All these songs were written when John & Paul were only about 17 and 16 years old. Plus, they recorded the entire album in one day

You could definitely write better songs....and play them better.... and sing them better.

Couple Elvis is back with Elvis golden record 4 and you got a wônderfull picture of Elvis starting the 60 s

RCA always did a very good job recording Elvis all albums sound great

Buddy Guy released an album in 2023 and so did the Rolling Stones. Both are great albums.

I agree Champaigne does suck. This song is pretty legendary. I havnt seen this in a while. I saw these guys last year in Las Vegas.

Back in that place and time, it was a big deal to keep religious music and popular music separate. I'm sure Elvis felt genuinely sincere when saying his religious music had nothing to do with the music he was doing then. Of course he is not totally honest, because there is no way you can keep the music apart. But there is plenty of video showing Elvis singing religous songs. You can judge for yourself. But to me it really is a very different music and way of performing.

As others have written, this is not exactly surf music. As a surfer and guitarist from that era, real surf music is instrumental with driving guitars dripping with reverberation from a Fender amp. Think Dick Dale and The Deltones doing "Miserlou." Think the Chantays doing "Pipeline." Think The Pyramids doing "Penetration."

hey if you see this zakk please turn the comments off for this video they're filled with hatred, brain rot & disrespect so please turn off the comments..i believe that will also hide whats already here & that is really for the best thanks xx

Open your mind...

You should listen to the next album "Berry Is On Top" which contain is most known songs and only one instrumental, also, you should look at the order of his singles to more understand is work because at the time his albums where more like compilations than albums.

Three stars for Song to Woody? Must be saving the stars for the next ten albums!

The harshness of the voice is a choice (compare his crooner period on Nashville Skyline). Choosing to sound like a old, weathered singer - when he was but 21 years old.

Ive watched some of your channel and you seem to know a bit about music history and do alot of 50/60s videos, to not know some of the tunes that are on your channel haha. Chantilly lace is a little deeper, but surfin safari or i saw her standing there.....those are staples.

Odd, Beatles are known mostly for their beautiful harmonies…and you’re not a fan of this?

A Taste of Honey! Amazing that a rock and roll band would cover this old gem

A lot of covers here….all great, some better than others. Opening track ROCKS! Title track too…and covers of Money, Anna, Boys, Baby Its You and Twist and Shout are all awesome.

Oh that drum pattern that Ringo is playing in Anna is the same (or similar) as he plays in In My Life on Rubber Soul. I hadn't noticed that before.

This might be the worst pretending he aint a massive beatles fan ever

timestamp 24:18 elvis' turns on his signature vocal cry...& pure joy bout to roll down zakks cheeks lol maybe my favorite moment outta this last year!!

This is probably his worst album. He became an amazing and versatile entertainer and actor.

Interesting he always says he’s not a good singer. Amazing!!!

Elvis really thought highly of James Dean and said it many times.

Elvis always said he loved and totally responded to the energy of his fans.

I am from the south and our different southern accents are great!

You really should do a bit of research before you review a record. This was their first LP record. There were a few songs written by Lennon-McCartney but it mostly consisted of songs from their stage act. It was recorded 62 years ago in 1963. Songs from that era didn't have much depth. I could go on for a looooooong time (because I'm an expert on the Beatles) but I'm also busy. Peace, man.

Bells of rhemeny is a song by Pete Seeger another great folk singer from the 50s and who was friends with woody Guthrie. Will meet agian is a really old song sung by many artists including Johnny cash in his later albums before his death

What happened to the Surfin USA stream

Check out more Buddy Guy! "Damn Right I've Got The Blues"

When they'd finished recording Please Please Me, George Martin turned to them and said, "boys, you've just got your first number onr".

Suggest song Eight Miles High

Know your history, my friend. Without it you really have no idea what you're talking about. What you just experienced was explosive, original, state-of-the-art sounds from a time before ANYTHING musically was on the way to where it would go for decades to come. "Please Please Me" not a single, huh? Watch. Read. Listen. Educate yourself. You have a long fulfilling journey ahead if you want it. Or you can do what you just did again and again and again. It's up to you.

You may want to differentiate the originals from the covers (which the 5 first LPs has) Their covers are always made their own, but sometimes they don't quite catch the power of the original. On this album i recommend listening to the original "Chains" by The Cookies, even though you seemed to really enjoy the cover 😅

Dylan won a NOBEL PRIZE for Literature

It's an old folk song. Listen to G. E. Smith tell the Pretty Peggy O story

Freewheeling Bob Dylan. Steven Stills and other old greats memorized this album when it came out

OMG, and THANKYOU for this reaction....this is THE ALBUM that started Beatlemania, and it set my hair on fire when I was 10.....completely re-wired my musical ear. Some of the songs were silly, some of the lyrics ridiculous, but with Ringo and Paul thumping it out, there was no resisting it. :)
