From the press-release:
"All-American Boy" represents Elvis Presley from the early years, with recordings from 1953 to 1960, including alternate takes and original masters complete with studio banter. Also included are 3 different versions from the song "That's When Your Heartaches Begin" from 1953, 1956 and 1957. 
This album also contains great to hear and rare Elvis tribute songs and recordings from "break-in" records from the fifties and sixties.
