Elvis Presley - The Complete '57 Sessions: Elvis Presley Every Recording Made During 1957 (2009)

The Complete '57 Sessions (2009 UK 52-track 2-CD album set - If 1956 was the year Elvis replaced his local following with a national and international fan-base, 1957 was the year he cemented his position as the world's most popularentertainer. It was also the year The King proved he could act, with both 'Loving You' and 'Jailhouse Rock' playing to packed houses through the second half of the year. But most crucially, the music he made during the 12 months in question wasquite unbelievable – '57 was the year of 'All Shook Up', 'Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do', 'Mean Woman Blues', 'Party', 'Teddy Bear', 'Loving You', 'I Want To Be Free', 'Jailhouse Rock', 'Treat Me Nice' and many others. If Elvis had never recorded another note after receiving his draft papers in December of 1957, the world would still remember him as the finest artist of the 1950s and he would certainly remain a cultural icon. Thankfully, he recorded for a further 20 years, and the world's a better place for it.).
