Product Description:
This essential CD edition contains two of Elvis Presley’s finest long plays (both issued on the RCA label) from the beginning of his career: his sensational second album, No. 2 (also known as Elvis, as well as Rock ‘N’ Roll No. 2), and the follow-up, "Loving You", which contains the soundtrack to the King’s homonymous debut color film. These two LPs helped define the exact nature of early rock and roll and include such hits as “Ready Teddy,” “Paralyzed,” “Rip It Up,” and “Teddy Bear,” among others. Both LPs have been remastered and packaged together in this very special collector’s edition, which also contains 6 bonus tracks from the same period and presents an alternate cover sleeve (that was used for the first pressing of Elvis’ 2nd album in the UK by the label His Master’s Voice). This is as rebellious, engaging and rousing as early rock & roll can sound. Great
