Elvis Presley: 2nd To None
Gillian G. Gaar, Goldmine, 9 January 2004
THE UNDERLYING theme of 2nd To None, the 'sequel' to 2002's wildly successful 30 #1 Hits, is a bit hard to pin down. #1 Hits had a brilliant presentation that drew in the casual (or new) Elvis fan who wasn't a hardcore collector but was interested in picking up a single disc of the King's best stuff.
