A career-spanning Elvis Presley collection is to be released to mark his 75th birthday.
The 100-song box set called 'Elvis 75: Good Rockin' Tonight' will be released on December 8.
The collection will include many fan favourites, but also lesser know tracks such as 'My Happiness', the song Presley paid four dollars to record at the Memphis Recording Service in July 1953, a year before signing with Sun Records.
The collection will also feature an 80-page booklet featuring rare photos and a new essay by journalist Billy Altman.
A single-disc edition of 'Elvis 75: Good Rockin' Tonight.' will be released January 5, three days before what would have been Presley's 75th birthday.
