From the direct-order only Time-Life Music series The Elvis Presley Collection. Elvis Presley defined rock & roll in the 1950s, and the songs with which he did so are here, from Sun recordings like 'Good Rockin' Tonight' and 'That's All Right' to the early RCA tracks 'Heartbreak Hotel' and 'Hound Dog.' There is a previously unreleased rehearsal performance of 'Baby What You Want Me to Do' recorded at the time of Presley's 1968 television special. A 2CD Time-Life Music release.
Time-Life's mail & net order series 'The Elvis Presley Collection - The Rocker'. Typically for this series, these 2 CDs are in rough chronological order, but run concurrently instead of consecutively, so that the second one starts over back in the mid-1950s. This collection takes the listener quickly from the inspired rockabilly of tracks like 'Mystery Train' through the movie material like 'Kissin' Cousins' to concert recordings like 'See See Rider.' Each volume of The Elvis Presley Collection is baited with a previously unreleased track. In this case, it's a rehearsal version of 'Burning Love.'
UK compilation designed to unravel the inspiration behind the biggest rock 'n' roll star the world has ever known. The fifth release in the successful series, following Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac & Eric Clapton. Tracks range from the gospel tinged melodies of the Golden Gate Quartet 'Precious Lord' to the hard rocking proto-rockabilly of Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup 'That's All Right', 'So Glad You're Mine' & 'My Baby Left Me'. Obvious country roots such as Hank Williams 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' & Bob Wills 'Faded Love' are complimented with up-tempo R&B from Wynonie Harris 'Good Rockin' Tonight' & tender blues from Lonnie Johnson 'Tomorrow Night'. 21 tracks which result in a pretty awesome & eclectic selection.
In 1954 a young Elvis Presley made musical and cultural history when he, lead guitarist Scotty Moore, and bassist Bill Black got together via Sam Phillips in Phillips's Memphis-based Sun Studios...and basically invented rock & roll. What you hear in these raw, wonderful '50s-era recordings is a perfect blend of American musical idioms, including country, blues, R&B, and Tin Pan Alley pop, all rolled into one delicious new sound. These tracks are now all legendary--and Sunrise is yet another repackaging of these tunes (making previous Sun compilations obsolete), this one supposedly featuring every outtake and "alternate" take from Presley's Sun years. A must for every serious student of rock music and popular culture. --Bill Holdship
Limited numbered UK only CD single. Includes a live edited version lifted from the film, 'That's The Way It Is', a studio version of 'Suspicious Minds' along with a previously un released version of, 'The Wonder Of You'. 2001 release. Slimline jewel case.
Elvis Presley never sounded better than he does on these recordings made in Memphis at Chip Moman's American Sound Studios in January 1969. The artist was still on an incredible high following the success of his legendary NBC-TV "comeback" special, which had aired a little over a month earlier. Eager to record some relevant music after a decade of horrible movie soundtracks, Presley decided to work with Moman's smash-making (122 hits in three years) Memphis house band. Indeed, four charting singles came from these sessions--"Suspicious Minds," "Don't Cry Daddy," "In the Ghetto," and "Kentucky Rain"--as well as two critically acclaimed albums, From Elvis in Memphis and Back in Memphis. This two-disc set includes all the music the King recorded during that stint at Moman's studio, ranging from Neil Diamond, Bobby Darin, and Beatles covers to current and old country hits ("Gentle on My Mind," Johnny Tillotson's "It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'") to a cover of Chuck Willis's classic "Any Day Now" that tops the R&B original.
