December 4th 2006.
To celebrate the 50th Anniversary, RCA releases 'The Complete Million Dollar Quartet.' At last we have the missing 12 minutes, along with the songs being in the correct order and with audio restoration by expert Kevan Budd.

In this video ....

Jesus Walked That Lonesome Valley
Previous releases had an edit which removed a sensational section with Jerry Lee Lewis doing a falsetto against Elvis singing the lead...


I Shall Not Be Moved
There is however no audio proof that Johnny Cash musically participated. Cash's vocal is SO distinctive that at some point it would have to be obvious. Smokey Joe Baugh is the deep voice you can hear on 'I Shall No Be Moved' and Elvis' girlfriend even mentions, "This Rover Boys Trio" implying that only 3 stars were present

" Million Dollar Quartet" is the name given to recordings made on Tuesday December 4, 1956 in the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. The recordings were of an impromptu jam session among Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash.
The Complete Million Dollar Session provides a rare post-Sun glimpse of the King momentarily His singing, especially on the gospel numbers, is natural and relaxed, minus some of the trademark mannerisms of his official RCA releases. Obviously comfortable in the company of his then heirs apparent, Presley also speaks freely between numbers, dropping a few minor revelations in the process."
