Oh baby. It's good to be the king in the age of technology. The Memphis crooner with the illegal moves in his hips and gospel in his voice is being celebrated with the ultimate career-spanning collection of seminal recordings.  
  
Commemorating Elvis Presley's 75th birthday, Legacy Recordings is releasing the first major retrospective to cover the full spectrum of the king's world-changing career. "Elvis 75 - Good Rockin' Tonight," is a four CD, 100 song collection loaded with treasures from early Elvis archives and will be available Dec. 8. The set will also include an 80 page retrospective booklet featuring photographs available for the first time accompanied with an essay by music journalist Billy Altman.  
  
A single disc edition of "Elvis 75 - Good Rockin' Tonight," featuring key tracks culled from the four-disc set, will be released on January 5, 2010 (the week of Elvis' birthday: January 8).  
  
Fans will receive an unprecedented range of essential material from country boy to Vegas legend. "Elvis 75 - Good Rockin' Tonight" runs from "My Happiness," the disc Elvis himself paid nearly four dollars to record at the Memphis Recording Service on July 18, 1953, a year before signing with Sun Records, to "A Little Less Conversation (JXL Radio Remix Edit)," a posthumous #1 hit for Elvis in the UK, Australia and more than 20 other countries in 2002.
