Descrizione


L'opera raccoglie tutto il materiale in studio uscito a nome di Elvis Presley dall'esordio fino al 1959 inciso in varie sessioni e in diversi studi di registrazione tra l'Estate 1953 e l'11 giugno 1958 (compresi tutti i brani delle colonne sonore dei suoi films dell'epoca e molte rarità, su tutte il primo singolo My Happiness originariamente realizzato in versione "acetato" come regalo di compleanno per la madre Gladys). Il cofanetto è suddiviso in 5 cd: mentre i primi quattro includono tutti i masters pubblicati in quel periodo di tempo (in conclusione del quarto disco sono collocati i momenti salienti di un'inedita conferenza stampa concessa da Elvis il 22 settembre 1958 all'inizio del servizio militare, pochi giorni prima di partire per l'allora Germania Ovest), il quinto disco invece contiene alcune versioni alternative di registrazioni in studio (le migliori tra quelle conosciute secondo alcuni esperti[8]), inediti live e di studio e demo. Incluso nel "boxset" si trova pure un libro con foto d'epoca, discografie complete (sia statunitense che britannica) del periodo, dati sulle sessioni d'incisione curati da Ernst Mikael Jorgensen ed Erik Rasmussen oltre alle note biografiche scritte da Peter Guralnick, vera e propria anticipazione del 1992 della sua allora imminente monografia in due atti su Presley (la prima parte Last Train to Memphis fu pubblicata originariamente nel 1994 e la seconda Careless Love nel 1999)[9].

The King of Rock 'n' Roll: The Complete 50's Masters is a five-disc box set compilation of the complete known studio master recordings by American singer and musician Elvis Presley during the decade of the 1950s. Issued in 1992 by RCA Records, catalog number 66050-2, it was soon followed by similar box sets covering Presley's musical output in the 1960s and 1970s. This set's initial long-box release included a set of collectible stamps duplicating the record jackets from every Presley LP on RCA Victor, every single that had a picture sleeve, and most of his EP releases. The set includes a booklet with an extensive session list and discography, and a lengthy essay by Peter Guralnick. It peaked at #159 on the album chart and was certified a gold record on August 7, 1992, by the RIAA. Further certifications were for platinum on November 20, 1992, and for double platinum on July 30, 2002.
