Announcement:
This is unlike any other CD available! ELVIS: THE NEW RECORDINGS consists of 26
NEW overdubs of some of Mr. Presley's best tracks - both
well known and obscure.
The musicians who gave these songs new backings have
played on recordings by major artists including Aretha Franklin, Elton John,
Barry Manilow, Patti Austin, Norah Jones, Willie Nelson and more! It is a
first-class product in every way!
"The King" may not have invented rock 'n' roll but he was its leading proponent.
But he could also sing a quiet, tender love song and do so with great warmth and
sensitivity.
Unfortunately, on a lot of his masters, his voice is at least
partially obscured by overwhelmingly loud (and sometimes off-key) background
vocals and/or superfluous instrumentation, that were typical of the era in which
he made his records.
So the producer used the tools of the digital age to strip down some of Elvis's
tracks to the bare essentials. His voice was remastered to bring out his purity
of tone, overly loud vocal backings were subdued or eliminated entirely, and
some of the original accompaniment that distracted from his singing was
dispensed with. His voice was brought forward so you can hear The King more
clearly.
These selections now sound amazingly fresh, beautiful and vibrant - as if Elvis
just recorded them today!
This unique new CD also includes rare photos of Elvis plus a fascinating, 8 page
booklet of little-known facts about this unforgettable artist, plus detailed
liner notes on each song. It's a keepsake you will treasure for years to come!
