Elvis Presley: Elvis' Gold Records - Volume 4 - LP 180g Vinyl

At first sight, it does not look as though Elvis's 31st album was destined to be a hit. But if you take a look at his artistic biography in the year of its release - 1968 - then you will recognise the clever gimmicks that his wide-awake management employed to captivate rock 'n' roll fans when Elvis was somewhat 'stiff in the hips'. In this fourth Gold Edition, a tried and tested method was used to create a new LP: namely, a compilation of single hits from the years 1961 to 1967. The result was just what fans wanted! Alongside sentimental songs such as "Love Letters", the tearjerker "Lonely Man" and the sobbing, heartstring tugging ballad "It Hurts Me", we find spirited rock 'n' roll ("Witchcraft", "Ain't That Loving You Baby") and honky-tonk blues ("A Mess Of Blues") in a toned-down 12-beat measure. In contrast, "Don't Drag That String Around" is cheerful, light and springy and, - for a change - not a blues number. Then we have the country song "Devil In Disguise" with its angry lyrics, and the soul title "What'd I Say" by Ray Charles with an electric sound that is lent by the Rhodes piano. All in all, this LP is a great collection from the grand old days of rock 'n' roll. This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. More information under http://www.pure-analogue.com. All royalties and mechanical rights have been paid. Die Schallplatte mit der laufenden Nummer 31 erscheint aus diskografischer Sicht zunächst so gar nicht hitverdächtig. Doch wer die künstlerische Biografie von Elvis mitverfolgte, kannte im Erscheinungsjahr 1968 längst die Kniffe, mit der sein ausgeschlafenes Management so manche kreative Hüftsteife des Kings überbrückte und dem rockenden Publikum auf die Sprünge half. In der vierten Gold-Edition schnürte man in bewährter Weise Single-Hits aus den Jahren 61 bis 67 zu einem LP-tauglichen Bündel, das alles enthält, was der Fan eben so braucht: Neben gefühligem Liedgut wie "Love Letters", der Akkordeon-Schnulze "Lonely Man" und der schluchzenden Schmerzballade "It Hurts Me" findet sich fetziger Rock‘n’Roll ("Witchcraft", "Ain’t That Loving You Baby") und Honkytonk-Blues ("A Mess Of Blues") im dampfenden 12-Takt-Ebenmaß. Fröhlich federnd und zur Abwechslung ohne den Blues geht es bei "Don’t Drag That String Around" zu. Dazu gibt es die bockig-böse getextete Country-Nummer "Devil In Disguise" und das waschechte Soul-Stück "What’d I Say" von Ray Charles samt dem naturbelassenen Elektriker-Sound des Rhodes-Pianos. Alles zusammen rundet diese LP zur kurzweiligen Session seliger Rock'n'Roll-Zeiten. Diese Speakers Corner Produktion wurde unter Verwendung von analogem Masterband und Mastering 100% rein analog gefertigt. Mehr Informationen unter http://www.pure-analogue.com. Alle Lizenzen und GEMA-Beiträge wurden abgeführt.
