The year 1956 was crucial in Elvis Presley’s career. At only 21 years old, the young man from Tupelo was already a national sensation in the United States thanks to his irreverent style, powerful voice, and magnetic stage presence. In the midst of this artistic explosion, RCA Victor released the EP Any Way You Want Me (EPA-965), a four-song record that revealed both his rebellious side and his more tender facet, proving why he was already being hailed as the future King of Rock and Roll. The EP contains four tracks that reflect different stages of early Elvis, from his Sun Records beginnings to his consolidation with RCA:
Mystery Train – Originally recorded in 1955 at Sun Records, this is a cornerstone of rockabilly, full of raw energy with Scotty Moore’s guitar standing out.
Any Way You Want Me (That’s How I Will Be) – An intense and emotional ballad that showcases Elvis’s ability to convey tenderness and vulnerability.
I’m Left, You’re Right, She’s Gone – Another Sun-era track, blending country and rhythm & blues with a melancholic feel that highlights young Elvis’s versatility.
I Don’t Care If the Sun Don’t Shine – A lively, upbeat tune recorded in 1954 that mixes swing, boogie, and early rock elements. It was one of Elvis’s first recordings after signing with Sun Records. This EP was released during Elvis’s breakthrough year. By 1956, he had already issued his debut album, appeared on national television, and was captivating both teenagers and critics who saw him as a cultural phenomenon.
What makes Any Way You Want Me fascinating is that it combined recordings from two distinct periods:
His Sun Records years (1954–1955), when Elvis was shaping his rockabilly sound.
His early RCA Victor era (1956), where he was establishing himself as an international star.
This makes the EP a unique testimony to the bridge between Elvis the pioneer and Elvis the superstar. While not as massive as his blockbuster singles of 1956, the EP was well received and later became a collector’s item.
With Mystery Train, considered an absolute rock and roll classic, and the tender ballad Any Way You Want Me, Elvis displayed his two sides: the innovative rebel and the romantic interpreter.
The EP allowed fans to hear Elvis’s evolution on one record, reinforcing his image as a versatile artist.
