[edit]Content

RCA executive Steve Sholes had commissioned two new songs for this batch of sessions, "Paralyzed" from Otis Blackwell, and "Love Me" from Jerry Leiberand Mike Stoller, the authors respectively of both sides of Presley's monster summer hit of 1956, "Don't Be Cruel" backed with "Hound Dog," the first record to top all three of the Billboard singles charts then in existence: pop, R&B, and C&W.[2] Presley decided upon three Little Richard covers, and selected three newcountry ballads respectively from regular Everly Brothers writer Boudleaux Bryant and guitarist Chet Atkins, Sun staff musician and engineer Stan Kesler, andAaron Schroeder and Ben Weisman. The latter two, contracted to the Colonel's publishing company, Hill and Range, would write dozens of songs for Presley through the 1960s. Also included was the song with which Presley won second prize at a fair in Tupelo when he was ten years old, Red Foley's 1941 country weeper about a dead dog, "Old Shep."

With all but one track on the album recorded at a single set of sessions over three days in September, Presley and his touring band of Moore, Black, andFontana, along with The Jordanaires, managed to recreate the loose feel from Sun Studio days, mixing rhythm and blues and country and western repertoire items as they had on all of his Sun singles.[3] They reinforced this effect by including material echoing his very first Sun record: a blues by Arthur Crudup, author of "That's All Right (Mama);" and a song recorded by bluegrass founder Bill Monroe, "When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again." The sessions were attended by a few outsiders, namely his current girlfriend at the time, actress Natalie Wood and actor Nick Adams, both of whom had starred in Rebel Without a Cause, Presley's favorite James Dean film. No producer was officially listed for the album sessions, leading to the belief that Presley himself produced them.[4]

The original 1984 CD issue in reprocessed (fake) stereo sound, was quickly withdrawn and reissued in original monophonic. The album was reissued for compact disc in an expanded edition on May 18, 1999, and again on January 11, 2005. For the 1999 reissue, six bonus tracks were added that were both sides of three singles, altering the running order. Four of the tracks were chart-toppers, the title song to Presley's debut film, "Too Much," and the double-sided classic "Hound Dog" and "Don't Be Cruel." Bonus tracks recorded on July 2 at RCA Studios in New York City, in September at Radio Recorders, and "Love Me Tender" at 20th Century Fox Stage One during the sessions for Love Me Tender.

On January 11, 2005, Sony BMG upgraded the album again, remastered using DSD technology with the six bonus tracks appended in standard fashion, in the following order: "Playing for Keeps," "Too Much," "Don't Be Cruel," "Hound Dog," "Any Way You Want Me (That's How I Will Be)," and "Love Me Tender." This acclaimed latest remaster was the handiwork of audio restorer Kevan Budd, who also drew praise for his 2005 remasters of Elvis' first album, his third ("Loving You") as well as the stellar 2004 upgrade known as "Elvis at Sun." Due to missing tapes, it is believed there will be no further expanded edition of Elvis' second U.S. album to be released on Sony's Denmark-based collector "Follow That Dream" label as was done in 2-CD fashion in their "classic albums" series for other titles in the catalog. These rock-n'roll tapes are believed to have been among those ignobly dumped in the river near RCA's Camden, New Jersey plant in the late '50s.
