Los Angeles – April 9, 2018 – From 1948 to 1971, TV's longest-running prime time variety program, CBS' 'The Ed Sullivan Show', beamed the world's biggest stars into the homes of nearly every American household live every Sunday evening. For musicians of all stripes, performing on the show was the pinnacle of television opportunities, with singular star-making potential. Among the artists vaulted to new heights of stardom via history-making appearances were The Beatles, Elvis Presley, The Temptations, and The Supremes, all of whom returned to 'The Ed Sullivan Show' several times after electrifying debut performances on the program.

Just Elvis: All His Ed Sullivan Performances (1 DVD)

All His Ed Sullivan Show Performances features all 15 songs from Elvis Presley's three appearances on the show between September 1956 and January 1957, without the show's other guests. So explosive and radical were these performances, Elvis' final 'Ed Sullivan Show' appearance had to be filmed from the waist up due to the fears and timidity of CBS's censors.

Elvis: The Great Performances (2 DVD)

Elvis: The Great Performances (2DVD), which collects three previously released documentaries featuring appearances on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' and dozens of other great Elvis TV and film performances into one DVD collection: Center Stage, The Man And The Music, and From The Waist Up.

Elvis: The Great Performances collects three feature documentary films on two DVDs, exploring the rise, music, personality and presence of the man crowned The King of Rock 'n' Roll. Center Stage captures Elvis' undeniable physical appeal and unrivaled artistic brilliance as it explores the time between his first TV appearance in 1956 to one of his very last concerts. The Man and The Music offers glimpses into Elvis' private life and the difficult realities of his unprecedented fame. Featured are rare home movies of Elvis' friends and family as well as his first recording, a song called 'My Happiness' That he recorded at Sun Studios as a gift for his mother. From the Waist Up, narrated by U2's Bono, follows Elvis' remarkable trajectory to stardom, from unknown singer to icon in just 12 months. Featured are many of Elvis' TV performances culminating with his legendary appearance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show'. Other featured performances include 'Blue Suede Shoes', 'Don't Be Cruel', 'All Shook Up', and 'Return To Sender'.
