2 LPs on 1 CD. Missing 4 songs from the 2 LP set, which was recorded 1954-1955 (the LP version is called "The Complete Sun Sessions"). The CD consists of 16 "master takes", 8 outtakes and 4 previously released alternate takes. From the extraordinary opening track, "That's All Right Mama," to the rock & roll reworking of Bill Monroe's "Blue Moon of Kentucky," this collection of Elvis Presley's early recordings for Sam Phillips's Sun record label is a fascinating document of the birth of a musical and cultural phenomenon. Presley was the first artist to successfully synthesize the vital musical elements of country music and R&B, and the effects still resonate down the decades. Whether he's performing the romantic balladry of "I Love You Because," or the dark, menacing "Mystery Train," rock & roll is heard here at its most primordial. Fairly self explanatory- every track the King ever cut for the legendary Sam Phillips at the equally legendary Sun label in Memphis, prior to his signing to RCA. Here are the roots of rock and roll at their purest and most undiluted- when the country boy picked up his guitar, entered a studio and crystallised the whole essence of what was about to become America's own and greatest contribution to music. He may not have been the first to rock and roll, but boy did he make an impact. Practically everyone in the world knows the name Elvis- or at least should- and here are 31 of the reasons why, including acetates, live tracks, radio sessions and alternate takes.The complete Sun recordings by Elvis have been remastered in classic Rev-Ola style. Includes 6 bonus tracks, 'Fool Fool Fool', 'Shake Rattle & Roll', 'Hearts Of Stone' (Live), 'I Got A Women' (Live), 'Tweedle Dee' (Live) and 'Maybellene' (Live). 2006.
