[edit] Concert Years
What's with all those Concert Years albums? Are they bootlegs? If so they should be removed as this list is only for legitimate RCA/Sun releases. 23skidoo 05:58, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Some overlap
The studio albums contain some - but not all - of the soundtrack albums. Damiancorrigan 02:00, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clearer?
There's a significant problem with the Elvis catalogue; it's been reissued and recompiled to death. Should we distinguish this list between original studio albums, live albums, and compilations? Jason 23:39, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yes it should by set up in sections, studio, live, compilations ect. Salavat 08:17, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] All Albums here created
All of the albums from this list have been created as of today. I'm not an Elvis expert, so I'm calling on the Elvisphiles to fill in the blanks!SkierRMH 08:33, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Extended play records(EPs)
My resources list these alongside the albums and singles - should we include these, even though there tends to be a lot of repetition? (Example: the four gospel tunes on Elvis' Christmas Album were originally released as an EP, and used on the Christmas album as a time-filler - is that too repetitive?) Also, would including such a list make the discography article too long? A suggestion: include EPs later included on albums (or from a particular album) in the page for that album, and link to them in the full list.Jason 05:35, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Let's make this page better
Does anyone have access to Billboard magazine and can you provide chart performance, particularly on the singles? That would be VERY helpful. 68.53.11.161 21:38, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] apocryphal recordings?
Soundtrack composer (Satan's Sadists, Dr. Goldfoot and the Girlbombs) Harley Hatcher wrote a book called "Elvis Disguised," in which he claims to possess recordings he claims were made by Presley while he was in the army. see http://www.elvisinfonet.com/johncrow.html
Music producer Mike Curb, also the former lt. gov of CA, is cited in the book as an "expert" declaring the tapes authentic. Seems Curb may have been helping a friend sell a book. OTOH, I think it possible that Mike Curb and Hatcher are the same person (see Talk: Mike Curb) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bustter (talk • contribs) 23:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Format
I am going to implement a table design into this article, however before so I require to know, did Elvis Presley's albums only chart in the US? What chart names and what countries. Thanks. Hpfan9374 (talk) 03:57, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
