SUNRISE - Elvis Presley (1999)

This is where it all started, the moment rock n' roll officially differentiated itself from Jazz, Blues, Country, and Big Band.

Elvis's original recordings for Sun Records had been released before, but never in their entirety, and never as logically sequenced as here.

Disc One is dedicated to all nineteen original takes, allowing you to hear all of Elvis's initial singles in one sitting.

Disc Two provides the completist's goodies, alternate takes, live recordings, and other demos.

For many, this is the moment rock n' roll truly came into being...an absolutely essential album for any true blue rock n' roll fan.

Status: Highest Recommend.

Cherry Picker's Best Bets: None, this is a historical compilation that should be heard in full.

Here's Mystery Train.
