This 1992 EP recontextualizes some of Elvis's earliest recordings for a new generation of fans. It features "That's All Right" and "Blue Moon of Kentucky," songs that were foundational to his career.
- The songs on this EP were originally recorded by Elvis Presley at Sun Records in Memphis in 1954 and 1955. Racially integrated musical styles on "That's All Right" and "Blue Moon of Kentucky" helped define rock and roll. RCA Victor issued this EP on November 6, 1992, as part of a series of early rock and roll reissues.
- The original "That's All Right" single, backed with "Blue Moon of Kentucky," was Presley's first release on Sun Records. While it initially failed to chart nationally, it became a huge regional hit. The songs were reissued on numerous compilations and EPs throughout Presley's lifetime and after his death.
- This EP was released during a period of renewed interest in Presley's legacy, following the extensive reissue campaigns by RCA in the 1980s. It capitalizes on the enduring popularity of his early work.
Elvis Presley was a singer and actor from Mississippi, often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll." He remains one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century. In 1992, RCA Victor continued to mine the Presley catalog for new releases, revisiting his Sun Records material.
