From Nashville to Memphis - The Essential '60s
Masters is a five-disc box set compilation of studio master
recordings by Elvis Presley during the decade of the 1960s; it was
released in 1993 on RCA Records. In its initial long-box release, it
included a set of collectable stamps duplicating the record jackets
of every Presley LP on RCA Victor, and those of the singles
pertinent to this box set. The set also includes a booklet with an
extensive session list and discography, as well as a lengthy essay
by Peter Guralnick. It was certified Gold by the RIAA on November
30, 1993, and Platinum on January 6, 2004. This set followed an
exhaustive box set of Presley's 1950s output and was followed by a
more selective box set of his work in the 1970s.
The box comprises every master recording made by Presley during the
decade and released in his lifetime, with the exception of those
made at sessions for movie soundtracks or for television broadcasts. (wikipedia
