Sunset Boulevard will comb through Presley's vault of recordings from the first half of the '70s, when he and the TCB Band rehearsed for live performances in Los Angeles and laid down songs at the city's RCA Studio C.
Of the 89 tracks found on the upcoming set, more than half have never been released in the U.S. The five-CD Sunset Boulevard is out on Aug. 1. You can hear an alternate version of 1972's "Burning Love," Presley's last Top 10 hit now.
Following his 1968 comeback television special and the release of recordings made in Memphis in 1969, including his final No. 1, "Suspicious Minds," Presley began performing regularly in Las Vegas, sparking a new wave of popularity before his 1977 death.
