Six tunes from Elvis Presley’s movies are the centerpiece of this, the second of three discs contained in the superb Elvis: The Great Performances set; and while his 33 films were generally atrocious, songs like “Trouble,” “Return to Sender,” and “Treat Me Nice” are a delight. Elsewhere, “The Man and the Music” touches on (via narration, some charming home movies, etc.) Presley’s very first recording (“My Happiness,” a gift to his beloved mother), his induction into the army, his life with (and divorce from) Priscilla, the absurd decision to shoot his TV performances from the waist up, and his return to live concerts after a decade-long layoff. As usual, it’s the music that carries the day: one look at “Shake, Rattle and Roll” from the Dorsey Brothers’ TV show in ‘56 is ample proof that in his heyday, Elvis Presley was a serious contender for the title of coolest guy on the planet. –Sam Graham

Elvis – That’s the Way It Is


Description
An inside look at “The King”, this documentary follows Elvis as he prepares for his big opening-night performance in Las Vegas paints Elvis as the master showman. Amazon.com
This 1970 concert documentary captures Elvis Presley midway through a fateful transition, seeking to reclaim his musical primacy after a decade of self-imposed exile from concert stages. Sidelined by his big-screen career, eclipsed by rock’s mid-’60s transformations, the King had begun his return two years earlier with the relatively lean attack of his fabled network television appearance, ‘68 Comeback Special. Now the Memphis legend was poised to reposition his performing profile by pursuing the top rungs of headliner status in Las Vegas, a career choice that seems even more ephemeral in hindsight than it already did at the time.

Elvis: That’s the Way It Is follows the show’s genesis from rehearsal to stage, with the performance footage that provides its inevitable climax shot over six nights. The rehearsal footage, expanded for this special edition, offers further proof that Presley’s band was simply superb: stripped of the orchestrations and lush choral arrangements that would be grafted onto the stage show, the sextet sounds both tough and nimble. In performance, we’re treated to a mostly riveting glimpse of Presley in top vocal form, poised at the brink of bombast. This is Elvis before the onset of portentous Richard Strauss overtures, karate kicks, and tossed scarves, kicking off the show with the classic “That’s All Right.” If he risks undercutting the punch of his early songs with self-deprecating clowning, he attacks two Ray Charles classics with gusto. The special edition also boasts digitally remastered visuals, crisply remixed Dolby audio, alternate versions that replace the original performances of several tracks (including the extended vamp of “Suspicious Minds”), a theatrical trailer, and a new documentary on the restoration of the film. –Sam Sutherland

Elvis’ Christmas Album


Album Details
Repackaged & Remastered. 12 Tracks Including: White Christmas, Here Comes Santa Claus, Silent Night & I Believe.Amazon.com essential recording
It may seem weird to call a seasonal album “essential,” but along with Phil Spector’s Christmas Gift for You, this is arguably the finest rock & roll Christmas album of all time. Recorded in 1957 at the height of his artistry–when he truly could be called the King of Rock & Roll–this album demonstrates Presley having a lot of vocal fun with a variety of styles, whether it’s a carol (“Silent Night”) or pop standard (Gene Autry’s “Here Comes Santa Claus”). He does one of the greatest versions of “White Christmas” ever recorded, basically using the Drifters’ version as a blueprint–and then singing all the parts himself. His “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” is definitive–but the best moments are the “new” tracks written specifically for this release, including the classic “Blue Christmas,” Lieber & Stoller’s “Santa Claus Is Back in Town” (one of the most sexually suggestive holiday tunes ever), and the wonderful, pop-based “Santa, Bring My Baby Back to Me.” All these tracks are available on the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll box set–but if you don’t own that, this belongs under any Christmas tree–though Elvis fans have been known to listen to tracks from this in the middle of July! –Bill Holdship

Elvis ‘56 – In the Beginning


Amazon.com
This 1987 documentary is distinguished by both its smart narrative premise and wonderful performance footage of Elvis Presley at the dawn of his remarkable career. With the King’s melodramatic life already a familiar subject for film and print biographies, producer-directors Alan and Susan Raymond instead shaped this hour-long profile around the year that saw the charismatic Memphis singer’s eruption as a pop sensation. By taking that selective path, and focusing tightly on Presley’s crucial transition to a major record deal, national media exposure, and the first decisive steps in his subsequent movie career, Elvis ‘56 achieves a unique cohesion while legitimately celebrating a remarkable period of growth.

With the Band’s Levon Helm narrating in his salty Arkansas drawl, the story effectively conveys Elvis’s Southern perspective, while evocative use of Alfred Wertheimer’s celebrated black-and-white still portraits sustains a visual style carrying over to the program’s real high points: early stage and television appearances by Presley and his original trio, later augmented into a quartet. Among the highlights are historic slots on Milton Berle’s and Steve Allen’s variety shows: we see the joyous physicality that made the Berle performance a topic of outrage (and, of course, a swoon-worthy moment for female fans), as well as Allen’s glib solution to censors’ worries, forcing a static, tail-coated Presley to sing “Hound Dog” to a basset hound. –Sam Sutherland
Elvis ‘56 – In the Beginning


Amazon.com
When Elvis Presley’s late-1960s comeback is discussed, talk generally centers on two events–his 1968 NBC-TV special and the recordings made in Memphis at American Studios shortly thereafter. There was actually a third key event–Presley’s first Las Vegas engagement in 13 years (he flopped the first time), which kicked off at the brand-new International Hotel on July 31, 1969. The event is downplayed now since Vegas has become so synonymous with the King’s decline–but this was a revitalized Presley, and, for the most part, he rocked. The white jumpsuits and “My Way” would come later; for this show, Presley wore a black karate suit and was backed by one of the hottest rockabilly bands on earth, with the legendary James Burton on lead guitar. Presley does early hits, Sun stuff, a Willie Dixon blues tune, and his latest singles (“In the Ghetto” and “Suspicious Minds”). The furthest he steps outside his oeuvre is a cover of the Bee Gees’ “Words.” If only he’d continued in this vein. As it is, this stands with Onstage, February 1970 as his finest live recording. –Bill Holdship

Elvis – ‘68 Comeback Special


Amazon.com essential video
Released in conjunction with a two-disc deluxe edition of Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii, the three-disc deluxe edition of Elvis’s ‘68 Comeback Special is another incredible treasure trove of footage documenting a high point of the King’s career and a milestone of televised musical performances. Taped and broadcast in 1968 after Elvis had seemingly abandoned live performing in favor of a movie career, the ‘68 Comeback Special was a remarkably intimate show, Elvis singing his old songs on a small stage, often alone, surrounded on all sides by a rapt audience. The show’s numbers fall into three general categories: the black leather stand-up shows, in which Elvis performs solo on stage; the black leather sit-down shows, in which Elvis jams with former bandmates Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana and others; and big production numbers, often overdone and now looking as dated as any other 1960s variety show.

In addition to the complete, uncut TV special (with the bordello number that was deemed too daring for TV), this DVD set includes both of the original stand-up shows and both of the original sit-down shows (the first was released mostly complete as One Night with You), and multiple takes of numerous production numbers. The numerous glitches and stumbles of the production numbers have limited replay value, but the complete stand-up and sit-down sessions are like gold for those who couldn’t get enough of them during the 73-minute television special. Decades after the original telecast, Elvis has made another comeback. –David Horiuchi
