''50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong: Elvis' Gold Records – Volume 2'' is the ninth album by Elvis Presley, issued by RCA Victor (LPM 2075) in November 1959. It is a compilation of hit singles released in 1958 and 1959 by Presley, from two recording sessions in June 1958 at RCA Studios in Nashville and three at Radio Recorders in Hollywood. The album peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart. It was certified Gold on November 1, 1966 and Platinum on March 27, 1992 by the Recording Industry Association of America.〔 Note: Enter search for "Presley, Elvis"〕 ==Content== ''Gold Records Vol. 2'' comprises every single, both A-sides and B-sides, released by Presley during 1958 and 1959, with the exception of "Hard Headed Woman" backed with "Don't Ask Me Why," both of which having been previously issued on ''King Creole''. The singles all made the Top Five on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and the b-sides all charted in the Top 40 independently of the hit sides. In the 1950s, a gold record awarded for a single referred to sales of one million dollars gross to the company, different from the definition in use by the late 1970s for albums, where a gold record came to mean shipped sales of 500,000 units. Exact sales figures from the RIAA for each record, however, are difficult to confirm. The original 1984 compact disc issue in reprocessed (fake) stereo sound was quickly withdrawn and reissued in original monophonic. The July 15, 1997 reissue doubles the number of tracks to 20, adding the b-side "Playing for Keeps" from a single issued on Elvis' first singles compilation. The remaining bonus tracks derive from albums and EP singles released in the decade, with "Peace in the Valley" released on both EP and ''Elvis' Christmas Album''. The bonus tracks are interspersed within the original tracks, with the running order to the album substantially altered. The album was reissued again with the bonus tracks removed and the original running order restored. Although RCA executive Steve Sholes was the in-house A&R man for Presley, and nominally in charge of his recording sessions at RCA, accounts by Presley historian Peter Guralnick and Presley discographer Ernst Mikael Jorgensen indicate that Presley himself acted as the producer for his RCA sessions in the 1950s. The unified ''Billboard'' Hot 100 singles chart was not created until August, 1958. Chart positions for records prior to this date would be taken from the "Best Sellers In Stores" chart, although early measurement of rock and roll records also came from the "Most Played In Jukeboxes" chart. Chart position for bonus album tracks taken from Billboard Top Pop Albums. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
