Synopsis:
Volume One of this collection showcases some of the star`s greatest performances including Money Honey, Love Me Tender, Heartbreak Hotel, Ready Teddy, Teddy Bear, King Creole, Jailhouse Rock, Guitar Man, Suspicious Minds and a pelvis grinding performance of Hound Dog that caused much controversy on the Milton Berle Show in 1956.
It also includes rare archive footage including, perhaps, the first ever motion picture of a young Elvis as captured with Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly (before the Crickets) and Carl Perkins backstage at a high school gig by a fan in 1955. Other rare highlights include an original Paramount Pictures screen test of the Elvis performance of Blue Suede Shoes that earned him a three picture deal plus footage of one of the few press conferences he ever gave and a moving rendition of Unchained Melody as recorded at his last televised concert in 1977.
