ELVIS STUDIO SESSIONS ‘56 – THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS
3CD/172 PAGE BOOK SET
ELVIS STUDIO SESSIONS ‘56 – THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS
This set pays tribute to Elvis Presley’s first recordings made for the RCA label in 1956. The 172-page book focuses on each of Elvis’ studio recording sessions during his first year of national stardom - from the first one in January, held in Nashville, then later in New York, before finishing his final session of the year in Hollywood in September. The full and comprehensive text is complemented by rare and previously unseen photographs and pieces of documentation.
The 3CDs contain the complete archival master and session studio recordings of Elvis Presley from 1956, along with bonus interviews. All 90 tracks have been remastered and restored to their original sound quality. Also for the first time on CD is the complete ‘The Truth About Me’ from the original US 45rpm flexi-disc and all its out-takes.
