How the King Began - The Fifties Complete

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: To understand someone's music you must understand the roots. This five disc set and the book does that for you.
Review: My first reaction to Elvis was irritation as his single release of Blue Suede Shoes knocked both Carl Perkins original recording of it and my friend Gene Vincent's single off the charts. But since this was the fifties, I was a teenager, and was...

For Elvis Freaks and Music Geeks Only

Date of Review:  Aug 16, 2000
Review: Whether you love Elvis or dislike him, there is no denying his place in rock and roll history. While he had almost become a caricature of himself at the end, bloated by drugs and horrible eating habits, sometimes forgetting the lyrics to his songs,...

The 1950s As Defined By Elvis, All In One Place! "The Complete 50's Masters!"

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2008
The Bottom Line: A weak recommendation for a massive music collection that reveals how dull rock and roll in the 1950s was when presented by Brand Elvis.
Review: As my little Elvis festival nears its end, I am strangely overjoyed that I have reached "Elvis: The King Of Rock 'N' Roll - The Complete 50's Masters." So much of the music I have been listening to the last month has been Elvis Presley and, frankly,...

Rockin' in the '50s with Elvis Presley

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: The songs on this set are essential pieces of rock and roll history.
Review: The King of Rock 'N' Roll : The Complete 50's Masters is the first and best of three 5 CD sets of Elvis Presley's RCA recorded output. It is also the most complete, as the '60s and '70s sets trim away the fat that literally and figuratively plagued...

Disc Four (1957-1958)

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2000
Review: In 1992, RCA released a five CD box set of Elvis Presley. The CDs contained all of Elvis' surviving masters from the 1950s, plus some rarities, such as acetates and alternative takes. There's too much material for a single review, so I am writing a...

The Coolest Human Being on the Planet

Date of Review:  Feb 12, 2000
Review: From 1954, when he first started recording at Sun Studios in Memphis, until 1958 when he entered the army, there was no cooler human being on the planet than Elvis Aaron Presley.
He recorded some fine music in the '60s and '70s, but the most...

Disc One (1953-1956)

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2000
Review: In 1992, RCA released a five CD box set covering all of Elvis Presley's surviving masters from the 1950s. Because of the large number of recordings, I am writing a separate review for each CD.

The first CD covers his recordings from his...

Disc Five (1953-1958)

Date of Review:  Apr 13, 2000
Review: In 1992, RCA issued a five CD box set of Elvis Presley's 1950s masters. Since there are over a hundred songs on those CDs, it's too much to cover in one review. I am writing a separate review for each of the CDs.

Discs One through Four have...
