Presentazione:
Nel 1960, il famoso compositore Leonard Bernstein disse: "Elvis Presley è la più grande forza culturale del XX secolo. Ha introdotto il ritmo in ogni cosa ed ha cambiato tutto: musica, linguaggio, vestiti. È una rivoluzione sociale completamente nuova da cui sono emersi gli anni '60." Ed è vero che Elvis poteva cantare QUALSIASI COSA! Questo triplo album contiene non meno di 54 tracce, la maggior parte delle quali sono versioni alternative. Una compilation unica, mai realizzata prima, davvero eccezionale, che mette in evidenza le varie sfaccettature dell'artista.
