Story & Background
The album "Elvis The Sun Sessions", in its 1976 RCA Victor release – of which this "1ST" pressing is a significant example – represents a fundamental chapter in the King's discography. Although the legendary recordings made at Sam Phillips' Sun Studio between 1954 and 1955 had already entered myth as the cradle of rock'n'roll, and RCA had already acquired the masters in December '55 for a record sum, access to those primordial sounds had remained fragmented. Many of the tracks had in fact until then been scattered across original singles, by then rare and expensive, or included in less carefully curated and often incomplete RCA compilations, mixed with material from different eras. The 1976 release marked the first time that the entire body of masterpieces recorded for Sun Records was collected in a single, coherent and meticulously remastered LP, offering an organic and revealing listening experience. Its release allowed for a crucial rediscovery and a profound re-evaluation of Elvis's wild purity and revolutionary power, reasserting his role as an undisputed pioneer, and making this vinyl an essential historical document for every collector and for understanding the most authentic roots of the rock myth.
