This book takes you on a fascinating journey through every original US album released during Elvis's lifetime. This richly illustrated volume explores 57 original Presley albums, placing each release in its historical context while revealing the stories behind the music. You'll learn how the albums were recorded, who played on them, how they performed on the charts, and why they continue to resonate decades after their release. Vividly illustrated with more than 250 photographs from studio, stage, and film set, as well as album artwork, this comprehensive volume explores: Every original Elvis Presley album, from Elvis Presley (1956) through Moody Blue (1977); The stories behind landmark recordings such as From Elvis in Memphis, Elvis Is Back!, Blue Hawaii, and Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite; The origins of beloved songs, including "Heartbreak Hotel," "Hound Dog," "Jailhouse Rock," "Can't Help Falling in Love," "In the Ghetto," and "Suspicious Minds"; How Elvis evolved as an artist across rock 'n' roll, gospel, country, pop, soundtrack recordings, and live performance. Spec boxes offer the finer details of the recordings, such as release dates, track listings, and recording personnel, while lengthier sidebars delve more deeply into Elvis's film career, comeback years, Las Vegas era, and enduring cultural influence.
