The King of Rock 'n' Roll: The Complete 50's Masters is a

RIAA
. Further certifications were for platinum on November 20, 1992, and for double platinum on July 30, 2002.

Contents

The first four discs present the Elvis masters in chronological session order. Disc one commences with "

Jailhouse Rock, and King Creole
.

The fifth disc compiles rare outtakes and unreleased recordings, starting off with the companion

W.S. Holland on drums. Although Johnny Cash is billed as the fourth of the headlining quartet and his presence is corroborated by anecdotal evidence, aural evidence of his participation on record is difficult to discern. The remainder of disc five contains alternate takes
of released masters.

Collecting every master recording made in the 1950s, The King of Rock 'n' Roll encapsulates the era for which Presley remains most revered, that of the young international phenomenon at the forefront of the

1960s, bypassing his film soundtrack
work for his secular recordings made to be issued commercially.

Professional recordings made at Sun Studio,

Steve Sholes
.

This compilation received a 1992

Grammy nomination for Best Historical Album
, only to lose that award to the boxed set The Complete Capitol Recordings of The Nat 'King' Cole Trio.
