Synopsis

Album Description
Unavailabe for many years, The Complete Sun Sessions, regarded as probably the most important recording sessions to have ever taken place, are finally out again through Chrome Dreams. Including every finished song and surviving take recorded at Sun during 1954 and 1955 (after which Presley signed with RCA) by Elvis, Scotty Moore and Bill Black, these are the recordings made as Rock N' Roll was invented. There's little else to say, except that virtually record made since has in some direct or indirect way been hugely influenced by the contents of this astonishing collection. Also features the complete 'Hayride' live recording from '54 and '55 (Louisiana's version of the Grand Ol' Opry), and the 1953 recordings Elvis made at Sun as a present for his mother. Includes a booklet, photos, picture disc packaged in a deluxe card slipcase. 2006.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Lots of live enterviews and great song selection. A must for early rock-a-billy and Elvis fans...you feel like your listening to 1950's radio for the first time and Elvis is about to come alive!
