Elvis '56 CD

The Year a Legend Was Born.

1956. Elvis Presley signed with RCA Records and proceeded to detonate popular music as the world knew it. In a single year, he released Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, Don't Be Cruel, and Blue Suede Shoes — songs that didn't just top the charts, they rewrote the rules entirely.

Elvis '56 collects 22 of the King's most electrifying tracks from that explosive debut year at RCA, all newly remastered for the richest, most powerful sound. As a bonus, collectors get two rare alternate takes — including a previously unreleased version of "Heartbreak Hotel" — offering an intimate glimpse into the studio where rock and roll was born.
