ELVIS PRESLEY
THE
ALBUM COLLECTION
The Definitive 60 CD
Deluxe Box Set
Coming March 18, 2016
THE ALBUM COLLECTION Commemorates the 60th
Anniversary of the Original Release of Elvis Presley, the King's
First Album for RCA.
FEATURES ALL of the ALBUMS Elvis recorded and RCA released
in his lifetime: STUDIO, SOUNDTRACK and LIVE. It also includes compilations
released that featured unreleased songs or songs new to the LP format.
Elvis
Presley, the
singer's first album for RCA Victor, was released on March 23, 1956, with its
successor, Elvis, following in October 1956. Both albums
reached #1 on the US charts and achieved RIAA platinum status.
ELVIS
PRESLEY - THE ALBUM COLLECTION
includes album titles recorded by Elvis and released by RCA during the artist’s
lifelong association with the label. The deluxe set features Elvis's
fabled Sun Sessions (recorded 1954 and 1955 at Sun Studio in Memphis, prior to
Presley's signing with RCA), his first RCA sessions (January 10, 1956), and
significant official Elvis album releases including studio, soundtrack and live
titles in addition to compilations featuring unreleased songs or tracks new to
the LP format.
Highlights
of ELVIS PRESLEY - THE ALBUM COLLECTION include: Elvis
Presley and Elvis, the 1956 RCA studio album releases
that rocketed Elvis into the pop culture stratosphere; all 17 of his film
soundtrack LPs including Loving You, King Creole, G.I.
Blues, Blue Hawaii, Roustabout and more;
the 1969 American Sound session albums Elvis In Memphis and Back
In Memphis; Elvis's stunning 1960s Nashville albums; the King's 1970s
triumphant live concert recordings On Stage (1970), Elvis
As Recorded Live At Madison Square Garden (1972) and Aloha From
Hawaii Via Satellite (1973); compilation albums--including the Elvis' Golden Records series released between 1958 and
1968--offering many of Elvis' non-album hits; the rare RCA Camden
"budget" series which feature songs recorded for Presley films but
not included on the traditional soundtrack albums in addition to other hard-to-find
material.
Original
album packaging has been meticulously restored for each of the discs included
in ELVIS PRESLEY - THE ALBUM COLLECTION. Details
include gatefold/die cut sleeves, original RCA Victor inserts and stickers, CD
labels replicating original Side 1 labels and more.
The
lavish ELVIS PRESLEY - THE ALBUM COLLECTION collector's
box includes a 300-page fully illustrated hard cover book featuring insightful
commentary penned by Elvis Presley scholar John Jackson, discographies and
recording session details (dates, locations, personnel, etc.) and more.
The
definitive treasure trove for seasoned fans or newcomers to these classic
recordings, ELVIS PRESLEY - THE ALBUM COLLECTION presents
Elvis and his music the way he was originally heard during his lifetime by
contemporary audiences, through the medium of long-playing albums. This
60th anniversary anthology lovingly compiles albums and compilations of new
material released by RCA during Elvis's lifetime into the definitive Elvis
Presley album library.
As
an added bonus for Elvis fans,
ELVIS PRESLEY - THE ALBUM COLLECTION includes three CDs of
essential rare tracks, each volume devoted to one of the decades--the 1950s,
the 1960s and the 1970s--transformed by the life and music of Elvis Presley,
the King of Rock 'n' Roll.
The
hits of Elvis Presley--33 No. 1 singles in the U.S. alone, which help account
for worldwide sales in excess of 1 billion records--have become pop standards
in their own right, recognized from generation to generation. But his 57
original LPs--studio and live albums, compilations of non-album singles, film
soundtracks, and even budget albums with hard-to-find material--have been
reissued only sparingly during the digital era. While several of Elvis's albums
have been expanded and repackaged for Legacy Editions, themed box sets and
other Elvis archival projects, ELVIS PRESLEY - THE ALBUM COLLECTION
presents--for the first time, in many cases--Elvis's official, original albums
as they were first released and designed to be heard.
