Are there any completists more voracious than Elvis fans? Every take from the King is manna from rock ’n’ roll heaven, which is why this new 3-CD set is causing such a stir. Here, you’ll find EVERY known Sun master and outtake, four privately pressed sides (his first recordings) and radio and concert performances from his early prime. One track in particular has generated lots of buzz: an unissued, recently discovered Louisiana Hayride performance of "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" from October 29, 1955 (that’s more than four months before "Heartbreak Hotel" first sent Elvis to the pop charts). Most of the rarities here were previously available via an online/mail-order release; this, though, is their first arrival at general retail. A 120-page book full of dates, facts, anecdotes and rare photos join the 1953–54 recordings "My Happiness," "That’s When Your Heartaches Begin," "I’ll Never Stand in Your Way," "It Wouldn’t Be the Same (Without You)," the Sun masters "Harbor Lights," "Blue Moon of Kentucky," "That’s All Right," "Mystery Train," "Milkcow Blues Boogie," multiple takes of "I’m Left, You’re Right, She’s Gone," "Blue Moon," "I Don’t Care if the Sun Don’t Shine," "When It Rains It Pours," live/radio performances of "Shake, Rattle and Roll," "Fool, Fool, Fool," "Hearts of Stone," "Tweedle Dee," "Money Honey," "Little Mama," "Baby Let’s Play House," "I Got a Woman" and more. Vinyl lovers, you won’t be left out in the "Sun"; the LP release here boasts 17 of the most essential tracks of the bunch! RCA/Sony Legacy.
