DVD is OK; it is a re-hash of some of his early performances.
Many are in B&W, or colorized.
All the music is not enhanced, NO stereo sound.
If you want to see Elvis in his original performances from the 1950’s and 1960’s, it is fine.
There are 15 songs on the disc.

Well, the quality is not the best. However if you wish a little sample of the king’s performances this is the DVD.

I have the European Version with red “King” Cover and 30 Clips on it. I must say I love this DVD, because it’s great to have all of this Clips on one DVD. It makes a lot of fun to watch it.

I bought this DVD for the bonus features, the press conferences.
NEITHER ONE OF THEM ARE PRESENTED IN THEIR ENTIRETY!
the first press conference from 1960 is normally 45+ minutes in length, on this DVD you get just over 2 minutes of it and that is poorly edited!
You can get the entire press conference on the Graceland tour video, available through the official Elvis catalog or website.
The New York Madison Square Garden Press conference 1972 normally runs 20+ minutes, but on this DVD, you only get just over 6 minutes,
and it is presented in a “rough cut” form
I have been looking for an unedited version of this particular press conference on video/DVD for years, I thought that I had found it on this release, no where on this DVD, does it state that the bonus features are edited or shortened, so you think that you are getting the full unedited versions, WRONG!
The M.S.G. press conference footage presented here is also available on the DVD,
Elvis Presley – Rare Moments With the King
as well as several other DVD releases and on those, you get more minutes of footage.
You would think that since this is an official release, you would get better quality and that they would at least mention that the bonus features are not presented in their entirety, not so.
All of the other clips on Elvis #1 Hit Performances are readily available on other (much better) RCA-EPE video releases and the average Elvis fan, most likely already has them in their collection, so unless you are new to the Elvis world, AVOID THIS RELEASE!!!…
It was designed for the mass market, “nothing” new here!

These performances of some of Elvis’ classic hits are wonderful timepieces. Watch Elvis as is matures from a young, edgy musical revolutionary to the King of Vegas. Most of these apperances were historic and helped shape the evolution of Rock and Roll and popular music. A must for Elvis fans and students of popular music!
