Description:

This five-disc set was the first release in BMG's effort to present Elvis's recorded legacy in a manner befitting the most important musical artist of his time. The strategy was simple--showcase, in chronological order, remastered versions of the King's 1950s output, from his sessions with Sam Phillips at Sun Studios (where they arguably invented the very notion of rock & roll) through his 1958 Army induction. Not everything Elvis recorded in the '50s was great (just as not everything he recorded in Hollywood was rotten), but there are dozens of tracks here that, quite simply, can make a bad day seem all that much better. Which surely still makes him the king of something. Suffice it to say this is one box set that lives up to its title. --Bill Holdship

5Shake, rattle and blue moon!  Apr 25, 2009
This five CD box set features all of Elvis Presley's 1950s master recordings. Besides the master recordings, there are a few other things here. There are excerpts from a press conference given by Elvis when he went into the army. There are also demo tapes, alternate takes and some live recordings. Just about everything Elvis recorded in the 1950s was great, so you can't go wrong with this.

5Tthe King of Rock & Roll: The complete 50's Masters  Mar 03, 2009
The Elvis Encyclopedia
For all Elvis fans a must to have simply amazing
I don't think much more words could describe the King, you got to own it, and then relish it.

5A must have  Dec 16, 2008
The definitive collection of Elvis' 1950's output. What makes it great is that you get all of the Sun material plus the Christmas music,misc. live and alternate takes and an obscure audio interview. If you are a true Elvis fan then you wont find buying this set. Its worth every penny.

5The King Of Rock & Roll The Complete 50's Masters  Nov 25, 2008

I have been a long time fan and i know quality when i hear it and this is definitely great quality buy it.

5The Word "Essential" Is Often Over-Used - But Not Here  Sep 03, 2007
If you're an Elvis Presley fan there is no need to go into the details of the music that gave birth to R&R - it's all here. Everything he recorded in the 1950s. If you were born in 1977 or later and only know of The King from hearsay, this box-set is a musical history lesson.

Adding to the lustre of this wonderful collection from RCA Victor is the multi-page book containing numerous photographs, record label reproductions, including the Sun 78 rpm issues, all his LP/EP covers, poster reproductions, a complete 1950s discography, and reams of fascinating liner notes by Peter Guralnick.

There is also an advertisement giving you a compete listing of Elvis videos, along with a sheet of 36 "collectable" stamps depicting his album covers.

All in all, a marvelous collection which truly lives up to the adjective "essential" like no other.
