Advantages: Elvis at his best

Disadvantages: None

The King Of Rock & Roll, Elvis Presley, began his career in Memphis in the mid-1950s, working at Sun Studios, before later moving on to RCA. The music he created at that small studio would change the course of popular music, and indeed popular culture around the world. It is difficult to think of any pop music performer who has not been influenced by Elvis' music, whether they know it or not.

This CD, SUNRISE, is a 2 disc collection of recordings Elvis made at Sun - both the master recordings and a wide selection of outtakes and alternate takes. It is clear from these tracks that Elvis was no mere copyist, as he has been accused of - instead he was taking songs which he knew and truly making them his own. This CD is a must for anyone who has even a passing interest in the development of popular music over the last few decades.

Summary: Elvis at his best
