THE COMPLETE 1953-1955 RECORDINGS

Where The Legend Began. The Definitive Collection Of Elvis Sun Era Recordings In One Comprehensive Package. Rare demos, session takes and live performances. 120 page booklet that includes private photographs & rare memorabilia. A detailed chronicle of Elvis's life and early career from 1953-1955.

A Boy From TUPELO- Includes 3 cd's with every surviving Elvis Presley Sun master and outtakes, plus two private records Elvis paid for with his own money to record, as well as all known radio, and concert performances from the period.
The accompanying booklet is in essence a fully illustrated travelogue. It details the birth of Elvis's career through facts, anecdotes, documentation, many rare photos, and a succinct narrative. Independence Day 1954 is when this uniquely American saga begins, less than 24 hours before his first professional recording session, and it ends in December 1955, when the rights to Elvis's Sun tapes officially expired and the singer left Sam Phillips and Sun Records to record for RCA Victor.
This is the story of Elvis Presley before he becomes world famous, and how this amazing young man readies himself for stardom, achieving success on a level that no one could have dreamed possible.

This 8 x 8 box set is BRAND NEW and is still in the original shrink wrap. It comes from my personal collection. It was given to me by a friend as a gift, but I already had a copy of it so this became a spare backup copy. The original hype sticker is still in place. The slight glare you might see in my photo is the reflection off of the shrink wrap. Mint condition. A fabulous collection of all of the early recordings of Elvis. A must have for any serious Elvis fan. The Beatles said that this was the greatest period in the career of the legendary Elvis Presley one of their personal icons!
