The Memphis Flash 1955 CD

Elvis Presley 1955 - candidly in the studio, performing many rarities and also live on air. 1955 was a phenomenal year of 1955 which saw Elvis grow from a rumour, to a local hit phenomenon, ready to take over the world!
Early takes/alternative versions of many of his breakthrough Country/R&B Chart hits join audio verity moments in the creation of a legend and snapshots of his LIVE repertoire which drove the CATS and CHICKS WILD!
With versions of his favourite country and R&B songs, many of which were slated for SUN Records sessions which were superceded by his rise to superstardom (and thus never got recorded) performed to rabid fans in a full on style unheard by most people outside Memphis in 1955.
