The Legend 1961 - 1964 Volume Two
Elvis Presley dominated popular music throughout the 1950s and 60s as the king of rock and roll. This 1981 Australian and New Zealand-only compilation draws from his Nashville and RCA studio sessions between 1961 and 1964, capturing the artist at a creatively vital period. The sessions produced songs like "His Latest Flame," "Little Sister," and "Kiss Me Quick"—rock and pop numbers that showcase Elvis's versatility across mid-tempo rockers and uptempo pop confections. These recordings balance his signature vocal charisma with sophisticated studio arrangements, featuring classic session musicians from RCA's Nashville operation. The six-LP set is a comprehensive look at a prolific chapter of his career, presenting material that demonstrates why Elvis remained a dominant force well into the 1960s. This pressing is scarce and difficult to source outside Australasia.
