Elvis '56

[GA Russell]

I have found a CD called Elvis '56.

https://www.amazon.com/Elvis-56-Presley/dp/B003O5MOJI

As you know, Elvis's masters are now owned by Sony.  Amazon lists the label here as SBME SPECIAL MKTS.

Do you think this is a legit release?  Do you recommend another CD for his 1956 recordings?

Thanks!

You're welcome. I have these two Legacy releases and love the sound:

If you've got the CD 'Elvis at Sun', which was a total revelation to me when I got it, this stuff is fine. Might get it myself.

But 'Elvis at Sun' is the REAL thing! If I'd heard those recordings before I heard Fats Domino, perhaps my life would have been quite different...

But just imagine, white Rock n Roll was started by a trio of two guitars and bass - no drums! There's only one track with drums on the CD. Now THAT is music making Rock n Roll.
