Press note: In August of 1953, an 18-year-old Elvis Presley walked into Sun Records to record some songs as a gift for his mother. Asked by receptionist Marion Keisker about what singers he sounded like, Elvis simply answered “I don’t sound like nobody."
A Boy From Tupelo: The Complete 1953-1955 Recordings chronicles the rise of that singer who “don’t sound like nobody.” This 3CD set includes, for the first time in one collection, every known Sun Records master and outtake, those mythical Memphis Recording Service acetates (the first four songs Elvis recorded, with his own money), and every live performance and radio recording known to exist, including a newly-discovered recording. It’s all brilliantly remastered from the best possible sources, and accompanied by a 120-page book chronicling this period in Elvis’ life date-by-date with fascinating anecdotes, rare photos and memorabilia.
