This 3-CD deluxe box set includes 18 essential Elvis Presley hits, powerful performances, and rare alternative versions of songs at the musical core of the groundbreaking three-hour two-part film which focuses on the development of Elvis' spellbinding artistry, from his early blues and country roots and influences through his seismic contributions to popular culture to his 1976 recording sessions at the Jungle Room in Graceland. Also included is a 40-page hardcover book featuring rare photography, liner notes by Warren Zanes, and a director's note by Thom Zimny, plus 37 additional Elvis cuts and a special disc featuring selections from Mike McCready's (Pearl Jam) original score for 'Elvis Presley: The Searcher', Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performing 'Wooden Heart', and the music that inspired Elvis (including R&B and country classics and 'Home Sweet Home', sung by his mother, Gladys Presley).
