Album Notes PRIVATE ELVIS is a compilation of home recordings from 1956-66, two-thirds of which is previously unreleased.Compilation producers: Mikael Jorgensen, Roger Semon.Includes liner notes by Ernst Jorgensen and Colin Escott.Elvis Presley is undoubtedly the artist with the largest posthumous catalog in the world. In addition to the countless recordings he made during his long, prolific career, countless repackagings of old material and the occasional bit of previously unreleased material appeared after his death. By the '90s, the bottom of the barrel had been scraped definitively dry. That's what makes THE HOME RECORDINGS such an event in the world of Elvis.True to its title, this release contains '50s and '60s recordings of Elvis just hanging around at home banging out his favorite tunes on the piano, occasionally accompanied by friends. Many of the performances are off the cuff, with Elvis frequently cutting up with his pals or forgetting lyrics; but it's a treat to hear his majestic voice in such a spontaneous, intimate setting. The song selection--everything from "Mona Lisa" and "Tennessee Waltz" to "When the Saints Go Marching In"--speaks volumes about both Elvis' roots and the family tree of rock & roll.
