Notes

Book by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen.

CDs Produced by Sebastian Jeansson and Ernst Mikael Jørgensen / Mastered by Sebastian Jeansson and Vic Anesini.

The book gives a day-by-day account of Elvis' life from July 1954, when he first started recording at Sun, to December 1955, when he signed for RCA.

Just as this set was being shipped to suppliers by Follow That Dream, a previously unknown live performance of 'I Forgot To Remember To Forget' (from October 29 1955) appeared out of nowhere on YouTube, but it was too late to be included in this package.

When the set was released on the main Sony label in 2017, it was scaled down to a 120 page mini book, and on CD3 the 'Interview with Mae Boren Axton' was cut and the live version of 'I Forgot To Remember To Forget' was included instead.
