Available again on vinyl, this quintessential collector’s edition includes Presley’s
sensational second LP, Elvis, originally released in mono by RCA-Victor in October
1956. It is widely regarded as one of the best albums of the Fifties and of his entire
career. All of the songs from the album were recorded during a series of sessions that
took place at Radio Recorders, in Hollywood, on September 1-3, 1956, with the sole
exception of the album’s final song, which was cut at RCA Studios in New York on
January 30 of that same year. Elvis spent four weeks at Nº 1 on the Billboard Top Pop
Albums chart in 1956, making Presley the first recording artist to have two albums go
straight to number one in the same year. All 12 cuts were new, and none had ever
been previously released as singles by RCA. Much of Presley’s early soulful R&B
feel was gone, replaced by the hard rockin’ sound that had become his trademark
on recordings such as “Long Tall Sally” and “Ready Teddy”. There were elements
of country, as well, on tracks like “Paralyzed” and “When My Blue Moon Turns to
Gold Again”. Elvis’ refined vocal style can be heard on his first pop ballads “First
in Line,” “How’s the World Treating You,” and the sentimental favorite “Old Shep.”
This album would be re-titled Rock & Roll Nº 2 six years later.
In addition to the original masterpiece, this release also includes 4 bonus tracks,
consisting of singles from the same period – the great “Too Much” (also cut at
the September 1-3 sessions, but not included on the original album), the smash
hit “Hound Dog,” the ballad “Any Way You Want Me,” and a cover of the New
Orleans’ staple “Lawdy, Miss Clawdy” (one of the biggest selling R&B records of
1952), composed and originally recorded by Lloyd Price.
