For those eternal pessimists who say dreams don’t come true, they’re dead wrong, as long-time Elvis Presley compilation producer and music historian Ernst Mikael Jorgensen will proudly attest. Years in the works, The Complete Elvis Presley Masters (Sony/ Legacy) is the stunning result of one man’s dream.

A limited-numbered edition of 1,000, the 30-CD box set is the long-awaited comprehensive survey of Presley’s entire recorded work, presenting all 711 masters in chronological order and enhanced with the welcome addition of 103 essential rarities ranging from alternate takes (Blue Moon Of Kentucky and Shake, Rattle & Roll), home recordings (Earth Angel and Mona Lisa), studio jams (The Beatles’ Lady Madonna, It’s My Way (Of Loving You)/ I Can’t Stop Loving You), revelatory live cuts circa 1955-1977 (Tweedle Dee, Chuck Berry’s Maybellene, Hound Dog, Little Sister/Get Back, A Big Hunk ’O Love, Unchained Melody), movie versions (Treat Me Nice, One Broken Heart For Sale), studio rehearsals (Marie’s The Name), His Latest Flame, Viva Las Vegas) and much more. Digitally remastered via 24-bit technology, Elvis’ music has never sounded better.
