Our Take

Ah, Elvis Presley, the King of rock 'n' roll, the hip-swiveling heartthrob of the 1950s. This Deluxe Edition of his iconic 1956 album is like unearthing a time capsule from the birth of modern music.

The album kicks off with the electric energy of "Blue Suede Shoes", a track that still gets toes tapping and hips shaking to this day. Elvis's voice drips with charisma and confidence, setting the tone for the rest of the record.

Tracks like "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Hound Dog" showcase Presley's raw talent and undeniable stage presence. It's no wonder he conquered the music world with such force.

The addition of 19 bonus tracks gives a deeper insight into Elvis's evolution as an artist. From soulful ballads to high-energy rockers, each song is a glimpse into the magic that made Elvis a legend.

Peter Guralnick's liner notes provide a fascinating look into the making of the album, offering fans a behind-the-scenes peek into Presley's rise to stardom.

Overall, Elvis 1956 (Deluxe Edition) is a must-have for any music lover. It's a timeless collection of songs that continue to captivate audiences decades later. So put on your blue suede shoes, let your hair down, and get ready to rock out with the King himself. Thank you, thank you very much.

About the artist

Elvis Presley

The King of Rock and Roll himself, Elvis Presley, needs no introduction. With his soulful vocals, electric stage presence, and iconic hip-shaking moves, Elvis revolutionised the music industry in the 1950s and left a lasting impact that still resonates to this day. From his early hits like "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Jailhouse Rock" to his later hits like "Suspicious Minds" and "Burning Love," Elvis's discography is a masterclass in blending rock, country, and gospel influences into a sound that was uniquely his own. But Elvis was more than just a musician; he was a cultural phenomenon. With his tousled hair, leather jumpsuits, and signature sideburns, Elvis became a fashion icon and a symbol of rebellion for a generation of teenagers. He starred in a string of successful films, including "Blue Hawaii" and "Viva Las Vegas," and his appearances on television were must-see events that drew millions of viewers. Despite his untimely death in 1977, Elvis's legacy lives on. His music continues to inspire artists across genres, and his impact on popular culture is still felt today. So put on your blue suede shoes, grab a peanut butter and banana sandwich, and join us as we take a deep dive into the wild, wonderful world of the one and only Elvis Presley. Thank you very much.
