*(1987) RCA (LP) 33rpm PL 86414(2) mono The Complete Sun Sessions LP *- Digitally Remastered 2 Record set. Black label. This is the definitive Sun sessions set (1987). Included on the two records were 16 Sun master recordings, 5 alternate takes of "I Love You Because", 7 alternate takes of "I'm Left, You're Right, She,s Gone", and outtakes of 6 other tunes. Extensive liner notes by Peter Guralnick relating Elvis Presley's months at Sun Records and background information on the songs. This is it, your perfect starting point to understanding how Elvis as Howlin' Wolf so aptly put it, "made his pull from the blues''. All the source points are there for the hearing; Arthur Crudup's "That's All Right'', Roy Brown's "Good Rockin' Tonight'', Kokomo Arnold's "Milkcow Blues Boogie'', Arthur Gunter's "Baby, Let's Play House'', and Junior Parker's "Mystery Train''. Modern day listeners coming to these recordings for the first time will want to reclassify this music into a million sub-genres, with all the hyphens firmly in place. But what we ultimately have here is a young Elvis Presley, mixing elements of blues, gospel and hillbilly music together and getting ready to unleash its end result ''rock and roll'' on an unsuspecting world. Liner notes by Cub Koda He tried not to show it, but he felt so inferior... Elvis Presley probably innately was the most introverted person that ever came into that studio. He didn't play with bands. He didn't go to this little club and pick and grin. All he did was sit with his guitar on the side of his bed at home. I don't think he even played on the front porch.
