2-LP SET – GATEFOLD COVER
This essential double LP edition (fold open cover) presents that legendary event in its entirety, while maintaining the original recording sequence. Rock & roll was born of gospel, country, doo-wop, blues, pop, and cowboy songs, all of which can be heard here. Included on this release are several popular numbers from that period, such as “Rip It Up,” “Don’t Forbid Me,” and “Out of Sight, Out of Mind,” plus some of Elvis’ own songs (“Don’t Be Cruel,” “Love Me Tender,” and “Paralyzed”), covers of Chuck Berry’s “Brown-Eyed Handsome Man” and “Too Much Monkey Business,” as well as traditional tunes, and some classic country and bluegrass songs penned by Hank Snow, Faron Young, Gene Autry and Bill Monroe. The joyous spontaneity and the fly-on-the-wall feel of the occasion make for fascinating listening. This set represents a memorable slice of American culture and allows listeners to experience a historic moment of the original rock & roll era.
