This is the sun masters CD. I got this item because Elvis actually plays guitar on it. This is sadly rare. Listening to the songs one wonders what could have been had he been allowed to play his own music. And gee, don't that sound familiar? Didn't Kirshner do that to the Monkees? Hmmmm.
Anyhow, it is great to hear Elvis sing and play and the outtakes and alternate takes combine to make this an exciting album; an asset to any music collector's vaults.
Like the early Elvis? This compilation delivers all the great songs from his pre-RCA era. All songs recorded in Sam Phillips legendary Sun Studio. They all have that special, raw Elvis sound that made him famous. For us collectors, there are also some great alternate takes.
