comment
The Sun Sessions is a compilation album by Elvis Presley, released in 1976 through RCA Records. It consists of (nearly) all the legendary recording sessions Elvis did between 1954 and 1955 at the Sun Studios of Sam Phillips. The historical importance of these sessions cannot be overstated. They practically launched Elvis' career and were fundamental in creating Rock'n Roll. Therefore this compilation gives you a chance to experience how music history would change forever.Back in the 1950s, due to technical limitations, these sessions were never put on one album, only on separate musical singles. Much of Elvis' albums from the 1950s and 1960s don't live up to his legendary reputation. The track-lists always lack many of his greatest hits of that period and have a lot of forgettable Album Filler. There's no Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band equivalent, except for Elvis Presley (1956) and even that one doesn't do him entirely justice.In that retrospect The Sun Sessions provides a more satisfying listening experience. All the historically important and exciting early singles are here and show Elvis in his pure, raw, energetic power. No wonder it became one of the first musical recordings to be included in the National Recording Registry in 2002.It is also known as The Sun Collection in the UK, and was actually released there in 1975.

Arcadia: The songs all have a rural country/blues atmosphere and evoke this imagery in the lyrics too.

The Cover Changes the Meaning: He changes "Blue Moon" from a lush romantic song to a ghostly, ethereal ballad, eliminating the verse with the song's happy ending.

Halfway Plot Switch: "Milkcow Blues Boogie" starts off as a slow Blues song before Elvis orders the band to "get real, real gone for a change" and they start over doing it as uptempo rockabilly.

Compilation Re Release: The tracks were all recorded in the 1950s, but only compiled on one album in 1976. Could count as a Greatest Hits Album too, if only from Elvis' early output between 1954 and 1955.

Cover Album

comment
Cover Album: None of the songs were written by Elvis or his bandmates. "You're a Heartbreaker", "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone" and "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" were all songs by local Memphis writers that Elvis apparently recorded first, but everything else is a Cover Version, with sources ranging from Blues to Country Music to Bluegrass to show tunes and possibly even polka (while it had a long country history, Elvis may well have picked up "Just Because" from Frankie Yankovic, who had a big hit with it in 1948).
