'Memphis' is a comprehensive collection that takes listeners through the many recordings Elvis had done while in Memphis - from his songs at SUN Records, to his American Studio and Stax sessions, through to his 1974 hometown show and finally, his last recordings in Graceland.

This Limited Edition 4CD set pays tribute to Elvis Presley's complete master soundtrack recordings made for his movies between 1960-62. As a bonus, two CDs contain rare outtake tracks from these recording sessions and do include unreleased material.

6 CD + 1 Blu-ray box set comprised of the audio from four of the shows (and two rehearsals) that were part of Elvis' 1972 North American tour. Originally recorded for the Elvis On Tour concert film that was released later that year, the set features a total of 145 tracks, including 91 tracks that have been previously unreleased, as well as the award-winning concert film on Blu-ray.

Elvis Presley belongs on the short list of artists who changed the course of popular music in the 20th century. He may not have invented rock & roll, but he was indisputably its first rock star, a singer whose charisma was tightly intertwined with his natural talent for a combination that seemed combustible, sexy, and dangerous when Presley seized the imagination of America with four successive number one singles in 1956. He spent the next two decades near the top of the charts, weathering changes in fashion, self-inflicted missteps, and comebacks as his music expanded and evolved.

Elvis Presley mag dan de belangrijkste persoon zijn in de Amerikaanse populaire muziek van de 20e eeuw, maar daarmee is hij nog niet de beste en zeker niet de meest consistente. Niemand kan echter ontkennen dat deze muzikant het meest verantwoordelijk is geweest voor de groei van de internatational populariteit van rock & roll. Zijn muziek uit de vijftiger jaren legde de basis voor rock & roll; zijn explosieve en seksuele uitstraling tijdens optredens werden standaards voor het visuele imago van de muziek; zijn stem was ongelooflijk krachtig en veelzijdig.

La tirade est connue mais résume bien la situation : l’Amérique a eu plus de quarante présidents, mais un seul roi ! Né le 8 janvier 1935 à Tupelo dans le Mississippi, Elvis Aaron Presley ne passa que 42 années sur terre mais son influence sur la musique, sur la culture et sur la nation américaine ne se mesure pas vraiment. Une aura qui dépassera la personnification même de l’idiome rock. Voix, musique, gestuelle provocatrice et look : tout est là pour polir chaque recoin de l'icône Presley, d’abord idole des adolescents en quête de rébellion et qui deviendra une idole tout simplement mondialement populaire. Le King est le premier à associer rock’n’roll et attitude.

This box features 75 Elvis songs from 1954 to 1960. These songs already existed before Elvis adopted them as his own. We collected 177 original versions of songs, which Elvis interpreted and compared them to the versions from Elvis. Both, popular songs and rarities are featured in this box. You are going to be surprised. Most of the Elvis fans do not even know that Elvis covered so many songs, he owned a huge record collection with records from various genres. Some people even think that "Blue Suede Shoes" is an Elvis song. You can also find the chart position of the American single charts from both, the original song and Elvis´ interpretation. To be on the safe side, we marked some songs with "probably" or "possibly", when the similarity is not too obvious. In some cases, it is more or less obvious that Elvis used a certain song as a draft, but we never talked to Elvis to confirm this.

This box set is the ultimate tribute to Elvis Presley documenting his shows from the 1950's. The 3 CD's represent for the first time ever, a release of the complete archival live concert recordings by Elvis Presley in the 1950's. Including rare interviews and recently discovered new recordings, all of the 82 tracks have been painstakingly remastered and restored.

What turned out to be Elvis Presley’s final Nashville session brought music that was originally overlooked.
