EIN important note: In 2007 Elvis' sensational, world-changing 1956 recordings come out of the 50 year copyright law. We will therefore get a plethora of poor quality 1956 compiles, released by one dodgy company after another. EIN may have to ignore some of these in our list below - so as to keep our sanity.
