Elvis Presley: A Boy From Tupelo – The Complete 1953-1955 Recordings
Written by admin on May 16, 2012 – 7:35 pm -The long-awaited book/CD project on Elvis Presley’s time at Sun Records is due for release in August. “A Boy From Tupelo – The Complete 1953-1955 Recordings” will comprise three CDs and a 512-page book.
The title will be released on the FTD collector’s label.
Author Ernst Jorgensen has been working on the project for years, meticulously piecing together the finer details of these innovative early days of Elvis’ career.
So what can be expected from the project? The 512-page book promises to tell the Sun story in more detail and with more accuracy than any previous title. Among the 500 photographs will be 200 that have never been published before.
The CDs will feature all of Elvis’ Sun master recordings, and all available outtakes. There will also be exciting live recordings from the period and the amateur recordings that the young Elvis made at the Memphis Recording Service before he was signed to Sun. The pre-publicity is also boasting 10 unreleased tracks, which has led to speculation that the likes of “Little Mama” will finally be heard. We await official confirmation of what these 10 titles are.
Expect this to be one of the finest Elvis releases of all time.
Unfortunately, as an FTD release, this will have a limited run and you will have to go to specialist stockists to pick it up. The Elvis Shop London and Now Dig This both have it available for pre-order.
