Elvis Presley #2, Today tomorrow and forever

Just 15 days to go........the 30th remembrance of Elvis' death.

Commemorating the 25th anniversary of his death, RCA's four-disc Today, Tomorrow, & Forever presented fans in 2002 with 100 tracks of previously unreleased Presley, a parade of alternate takes — both very welcome and curiously not so — and scattered live recordings from throughout his career.

In compiling Today, Tomorrow and Forever, RCA aimed to include material from every significant phase of Elvis Presley's career, starting with his 1954 Sun Records sessions and concluding with three studio recordings from 1976. The idea was to present some unreleased material from every step along the way, mostly in the studio, for which it exists.
The first question that many fans may have is, "After all these years of Elvis Presley CD reissues, compilations and rarity-laden box sets, how could RCA possibly come up with yet another 100 unreleased tracks that are compelling?" ... Jørgensen's answer was simple: Presley recorded over 1,000 different songs during his career (including home recordings), so there's always been a lot to choose from. And more importantly, RCA's intensive search for missing Elvis tapes throughout the '90s has yielded impressive results.

Among the highlights: seven songs from an incendiary set recorded in Arkansas on May 16, 1956. Note these are different live recordings I offered in my first post about Elvis.
Also a 1959 version of "The Fool" recorded with Elvis alone at the piano while serving in Germany. I have a nice 4CD box set about that period. It gives a nice insight in what he was doing at that moment.
My personal highlight is the raw version of I want to be free.

It's worth to pick this 4CD box and play it. Well, at least I can.
I offer you in the comment only the first CD. If you like it you'll have to buy the box-set itself (I suppose there will be a re-issue of this kind of material). Otherwise you'll have to do with this, sorry.
