You probably think you've heard all there is to hear from The King, what with countless Elvis retrospectives, anthologies and reissues flooding the market. While PLATINUM: A LIFE IN MUSIC is far from the first Elvis box, it's unique in that it's composed largely of previously unreleased material. Four discs cover every phase of Presley's career, from young Memphis hip-shaker to middle-aged Vegas hip-shaker, adding a fresh perspective to each period. For the budget-conscious, this two-discer is a solid condensation of that project, the other half of the material being released on a companion volume.
It's both an education and a kick to hear alternate versions of Elvis songs already ingrained in the public consciousness. Other, more obscure delights update one of rock & roll's most stellar legacies, proving that even the most zealous Elvis fan hasn't heard the whole story yet.
