Review: 'Jailhouse Rock' is one of Elvis Presley - and the genre at large's - most iconic rock and roll anthems. It epitomises the energy and rebellious spirit of the 1950s and was released as the title track for the film of the same name. It marked a pivotal moment in Presley's career but also became a cornerstone of rock and roll history, capturing the essence of the genre's early years and leaving an indelible mark on popular music. The tune, which now comes on a limited edition picture disc, showcases Presley's dynamic vocals and charismatic stage presence with its infectious rhythms, catchy guitar riffs and lyrics about a wild party in a jailhouse. What's not to love?

Review: An ironic title, given that this, Presely's seventh album and a Billboard chart topper to boot, actually collects together many of the King's finest singles onto one LP that first saw the light of day in 1959. Presumably, it's for album fans because single fans will have already own the wax on 45. But there's no denying the world shattering efficiency of the music contained within, from 'That's All Right', his world-changing debut single, to 'Mystery Train' and 'Shake, Rattle & Roll', the latter being a particular dancefloor filler in its time.
