Music reviews of The King of Rock 'n' Roll: The Complete 50's Masters

Music Review: The best box set ever, period.
Rating: 5 Stars

Elvis' monumental records of the 1950s are second to no one. The King earned his crown in the 50's and this set proves why. This set starts off with the 1953 acetate "My Happiness" which is the first time Elvis' voice was recorded on a record. After that piece of history, the first disc moves on to his most important recordings of all time and probably the most important recordings by any rock n roller, his Sun Sessions. Kicking off with "That's All Right", Presley began his smashing of music barriers and the soaring if his unmatched popularity. Other great Sun tunes (all of them are great, really) are "Good Rockin' Tonight", "Baby Let's Play House" and the final Sun tune, "Mystery Train". By time Elvis' recording deal was sold to RCA in November of 1955, the latter was climbing the national country charts and Elvis was a huge star in the southeastern portion of the US. The first disc wraps up with Elvis' first RCA sessions which produced classics such as "My Baby Left Me", "I Was The One", "Blue Suede Shoes" and his first #1 national hit "Heartbreak Hotel". The 2nd disc opens up with the phoenominal Lloyd Price cover of "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" which Elvis makes his own and continues through his 1956 material which includes covers such as "Shake Rattle and Roll", "Long Tall Sally", "Ready Teddy" and "Rip It Up", ballads "Love Me Tender", "Love Me", "Anyway You Want Me" and biggest double sided 45 single ever "Don't Be Cruel" and "Hound Dog" as well as many other treats. The 2nd disc closes and the 3rd disc begins with his 1957 material which nearly equals his '56 output in quality. All the big '57 hits are on here such as "All Shook Up", "Teddy Bear", "Loving You" and "Jailhouse Rock" as well as a handful of gospel songs, eight of his best Christmas tunes and the original "One Night" version which is titled "One Night Of Sin". I never cared much for the music from his fourth movie, King Creole so Im not going to go out of my way to praise to first part of disc 4, but the second half showcases Elvis' final tunes before his army hitch. Such songs as "A Fool Such As I", "I Need Your Love Tonight", "A Big Hunk O Love" and others rank up there with some of the most important songs he ever sang as well as arguable the last great true rock n roll songs of the 50's. Disc 4 closes with a nice 15 minute or so interview with Elvis before his departure overseas. Disc 5 is a mixed bag of treats which features mostly previously unreleased alternate takes of his 50's recordings or previously unreleased live performances as well as another acetate "That's When Your Heartaches Begin" which was recorded about six months after "My Happiness" and about 6 months before "That's All Right". Elvis later went on to record "Thats When Your Heartaches Begin" in 1957 and was the B side of his smash hit "All Shook Up".

Like the 60's and 70's set, this also features a wonderful booklet with pictures, stories, and session notes.

Most of these recordings, alone, are classics by themselves. When they are put together in an box set, you have the ultimate of ultimate, the complete recordings of arguably the most famous rock n roll performer and singer of all time from a decade in time where he could do little to no wrong.
