· "Elvis at Sun" - Elvis Presley

Elvis at Sun is a compilation of Elvis Presley's studio recordings at Sun Studio from 1953 to 1955. This set features master recordings made by Presley and his accompanists, Scotty Moore (guitar) and Bill Black (bass), occasionally augmented by other musicians (Jimmie Lott – drums on track 8; Johnny Bernero – drums on tracks 9, 18, 19), prior to his arrival on RCA Records in 1956. Unfortunately tapes for at least two songs have been lost forever, those are Sun versions of "I Got A Woman" (which would be recorded for Presley during his first RCA session) and "Satisfied". All of these studio recordings were produced by Sam Phillips, the owner of Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis is a melting pot of many types of music: both black music (blues, rhythm & blues, gospel) and white music (country & western, hillbilly), the recordings reflect these influences. Phillips released Presley's recording contract to RCA in 1955 for the substantial sum of $35,000. This also gave RCA the rights to all of Presley's masters recorded at Sun. These legendary recordings include "That's All Right (Mama)," one of candidates for being "the first rock and roll record." Elvis' entire period at Sun is one of the seminal events in the birth of rock and roll, specifically also the beginning of the sub-genre known as rockabilly. Two tracks from the Presley's Sun sessions were included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll: "Mystery Train," and "That's All Right." In 2002, given their importance in the development of American popular music, The Sun Sessions tapes were chosen, by the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress, to be kept as a bequeathal to posterity.
