Review: American singer, musician, hip-swinger and burger eater Elvis Presley recorded Something For Everybody in late 1960 and early 1961 in both Hollywood and Tennessee. It was his first record after big discharged from military service and he soon managed to capture the form that made him such a hero in the 1950s. The album peaked at number 1 on Billboard's Top Pop LPs chart and has long since been certified gold. This is the latest in a long line of reissues across multiple formats and it comes on 180 gram pink vinyl.
