September 22 - The Young Man Escaped

Although slated for release September 27th. the first copies of the 'Young man With The Big Beat' box-set found their way to eager fans. The first reaction:
'One date: December 15, 1956. One word: sen-sa-tio-nal! Boy, that crowd went wild. Sound is ok, not the best but good enough to get fully in the atmosphere of this great concert and it certainly can compete with many 70s soundboards.' 
Fans who bought their set through the Sony Legacy webshop mentioned that the replica of Elvis' first EP, which came exclusively through this outlet, was not included.
