This impressive three-disc 81-track collection combines three separate Elvis Presley anthologies into a surprisingly coherent whole, beginning with 30 #1 Hits as the first disc, 2nd to None (which continues where 30 #1 Hits left off and includes Sun Records sides as well as movie soundtrack material and some live cuts) as the second, and a third disc, called The Story Continues, which adds 19 more tracks that didn't make it onto the other two discs.

This impressive three-disc 81-track collection combines three separate Elvis Presley anthologies into a surprisingly coherent whole, beginning with 30 #1 Hits as the first disc, 2nd to None (which continues where 30 #1 Hits left off and includes Sun Records sides as well as movie soundtrack material and some live cuts) as the second, and a third disc, called The Story Continues, which adds 19 more tracks that didn't make it onto the other two discs. It's not really a history, since it isn't assembled chronologically and skips through eras and back again on a dime, but it's impossible to listen to everything here without being struck by the full force of Presley's talent, and freed from the massive cultural image that was Elvis and boiled down to just his music like this, the effect is staggering. He simply was the King. Die-hard fans will already have everything here, but folks looking for a single set that includes Presley's key Sun tracks along with his subsequent RCA hits, the best of his soundtrack work, a few live performances, and a handful of sentimental favorites will find everything they need in this three-disc package. It isn't everything, obviously, but it hits all the high points without sacrificing range, variety, or depth. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

This is the USA edition of this release. The first two discs are the same as the single disc releases "30 No.1s" and "2nd to None" and are also in the European pressed Hitstory release.
The difference between the USA and European Hitstory releases is the third disc. This disc (in this USA release) reflects the chart performance of other Elvis singles in the USA and has 19 tracks on it.
The other difference is that this third disc was also remastered using DSD technology and therefore the sound quality is as good as the first and second discs.
On the European release the third disc was based on Elvis singles charting across Europe and therefore the song titles / content is different. The other difference is this third disc was not remastered using DSD technology but sourced from other releases. The sound is still fine but the USA release has an overall consistent sound across the three discs.
In addition, when the "30 No.1s" album was released individually there were some errors on the 30 No.1s disc as alternate versions were used and not the single master versions, the most notable was the different live version of "The Wonder of You". These errors have been corrected on the USA Hitstory set but not on the European Hitstory set.
