heard all there is to hear from The King, what with countless Elvis
retrospectives, anthologies and reissues flooding the market. While
PLATINUM is far from the first Elvis box, it's unique in that it's
composed largely of previously unreleased material. Four discs cover
every phase of Presley's career, from young Memphis hip-shaker to
middle-aged Vegas hip-shaker, adding a fresh perspective to each
period.It's both an education and a kick to hear alternate versions of
songs as ingrained in the public consciousness as "That's All Right,"
and others from Elvis' legendary Sun sessions. Obscure delights like
1969's "Power Of My Love" update one of rock & roll's most stellar
legacies. Off-the-cuff recordings and live TV performances contribute
further to this set, which proves that even the most zealous Elvis fan
hasn't heard the whole story yet.
