ELVIS PRESLEY - Debut Album (Reissue w/ 4 Bonus tracks) - LP - 180g Crystal Clear Vinyl [MAR 14]

LP - Limited Edition 180g Crystal Clear Vinyl featuring the complete album plus four bonus tracks. 

Elvis' debut LP, titled "Elvis Presley", was the first rock album to reach number one on the US charts. It was recorded for the RCA label, which had paid what was then a king's ransom to buy his contract from Sam Phillips' Sun Records in Memphis. The album was produced by Steve Sholes, head of RCA's Country & Western and Rhythm & Blues division, and released in March 1956.

"This was as startling a debut record as any ever made, representing every side of Elvis' musical influences except gospel - rockabilly, blues, R&B, country, and pop were all here in an explosive and seductive combination. Elvis Presley became the first rock & roll album to reach the number one spot on the national charts, and RCA's first million dollar-earning pop album." - ***** Bruce Eder, AllMusic
