Elvis Presley changed the world when he spontaneously kicked an obscure blues number called "That's All Right" into high gear, providing as likely a starting point for rock & roll as anyone will ever be able to pinpoint. Spontaneity became harder to come by as Presley's career progressed, which makes this four-disc assortment of outtakes, alternate takes, and live recordings such a treat. Dating from the 1954 date that produced "That's All Right" to February '76 Graceland sessions, Today, Tomorrow & Forever captures every phase in Elvis's career--frequently from lesser-explored vantage points. Here's the super-charged hep cat of the '50s charging through versions of "Heartbreak Hotel," "I Got a Woman," and "Hound Dog" before a rollicking Little Rock, Arkansas, audience. Here's the matinee idol trying to breathe life into increasingly moribund material. Finally, here's the comeback kid of the late '60s and the flailing Vegas attraction of the '70s. Indeed, late-period Presley benefits particularly well when it's stripped down to its alternate-take essence. Colin Escott's rewardingly frank liner notes ("Elvis had good reason to sleepwalk through 'The Love Machine,'" he notes of one mid-'60s soundtrack throwaway) and a generous assortment of vintage photos complete a package that will certainly appeal to aficionados and will win over more than its share of non-devotees.Read full review
I BOUGHT THIS BOX SET BECAUSE I LOVE TO HEAR DIFFENT OUTTAKES OF ELVIS PRESLEY'S MUSIC, I AM A HUGE ELVIS FAN AND TO LISTEN TO THE SONGS WE HAVE LISTENED TO FOR SO MANY YEARS SUNG IN A DIFFERENT WAY BY ELVIS IS ENJOYABLE TO ME, AND THE PERSON I BOUGHT THEM FROM WENT TO SCHOOL WITH ELVIS AND HAS MET HIM WHICH MAKES IT VERY PERSONAL....I AM AN ELVIS FAN, I ALWYAS HAVE BEEN AND I ALWAYS WILL BE.....I CAN NEVER GET TOO MUCH OF ELVIS
Gran parte de la carrera de Elvis no la conocía, era muy pequeño cuando él estaba en pleno auge y en casa se escuchaba otro tipo de género. Sin embargo, considero que es una buena pieza de colección para quienes disfrutaron de su arte. La presentación es impecable, el sonido aún en mono es bueno y permite conocer el recorrido musical por los géneros por los cuales El Rey se desplazó. Ahora, forma parte de una joven colección musical de la cual dispongo y servirá para dar a conocer a mis allegados de la excelencia de este artista.

I bought this 4cd set as an addition to my collection. It is full of outtakes and rehearsals that I have never heard. It is a fantastic box set to add to any collection. Look forward to purchasing more FTD box sets in the future. Am still looking for additional FTD cd's to add. I highly recommend this set. The book that comes with this set is filled with intersting facts that any Elvis collector would find intersting and is packaged very nicely. There is nothing I dislike about this set and would recommend it to any Elvis Presley fan out there looking for a great addition to their collection.
very nice and am very happy with my purchase. Of course liking Elvis also helps thanks
