Brief History :
A 50-track collection first released in 1985, when Elvis Presley would have turned 50, 50 Years-50 Hits is one of the better, pre-digital, extended sets of Elvis' hits. Though the tracks aren't presented in chronological order, the compilers obviously spent some time creating a pace that worked, grouping together songs from different eras as well as songs with different topics ("Hound Dog" leads into "Old Shep"). The compilation misses none of his major hits, and focuses more on his late-'50s prime than any other period, spinning the hits, plus plenty of excellent non-hits: "Wear My Ring Around Your Neck," "Crying in the Chapel," "Too Much," and "My Wish Came True."
It was only sold through television and magazine ads in conjunction with RCA Records, as part of their 1985 spring promotion. This 3 LP set was only available for approximately three months and then deleted.
