Reviews
Ranked #3 Reissue in the Village Voice's 1992 Jazz & Pop Critics Poll., "...essential....a stunning revelation....suggests that Elvis mirrored all sides of our musical culture--and became an American icon because he gave all kinds of Americans exactly what they most wanted to hear..." - Rating: A+, Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century, 5 Stars - Classic - "...Presented with generally decent, challenging material throughout this era, his singing reaches masterful heights....the 1954 and '55 sessions are probably the most perfect recordings in rock & roll history....a box set fit for the King..."
