This reissue unlocks the spirit and gestalt of the recording and takes you inside American Sound Studio. It also brings you up close and personal with Presley's singing – widely considered by many to represent the finest of his career – located dead-center amidst the instrumental hurricane. Equally impressive are the contributions of the aforementioned Boys, and how their Southern-brewed playing – a balance of leisure with swiftness, grandiosity with concision, freedom with control – dovetails with Presley's vernacular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSharing much in common with the full, rich, orchestrated Stax Records sound,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom Elvis in Memphis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eoozes with choice nuances and distinctive flourishes that on this SACD not only arise with previously unheard transparency and sharpness, but complement and serve the whole. Take the specific tonalities and blending of violas, cellos, and horns that communicate mood and serve as counterpoints. Or lively performances of the backing quintet, and how the piano and Hammond organ trace the lines of the melodies and Presley's lead. Listen to the uplifting support provided by the cadre of backing vocalists (more than a dozen credited), unrivaled in Presley's canon and a precursor to the approach he'd soon adopt in Las Vegas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOf course,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom Elvis in Memphis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eprecedes the icon's transition into his glitzy jumpsuit phase – and follows his move away from the soundtrack work that consumed nearly a decade of his creative life and prompted a rebirth that began in 1968. As the bridge between eras, the record seizes on Presley's rejuvenated attitude and commitment to quality, facets that drip from the fervency with which he delivers every word. For the same reasons, and for the fact it traces back to Presley's original roots and hip-shaking guise, the album further remains a cornerstone of American music history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWriting about the work's 40th anniversary for\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/em\u003e, James Hunter correctly observed: \"\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom Elvis in Memphis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erepresented the full-on immersion in the Memphis idea of Elvis Presley, the American singer second only to Frank Sinatra for the ability to conjure a particular sonic universe with his merest vocal utterance. And from the album's first song, in which a bluesy Elvis espies a woman 'Wearin' That Loved On Look,' to its last, in which a more straight-up-pop Elvis regrets the injustices of life 'In the Ghetto,' his fully engaged, newly energized voice finds its most logical album setting in years.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncredibly, Presley and company completed more than two dozen cuts for\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom Elvis in Memphis\u003c\/em\u003e. One, \"Suspicious Minds,\" turned into the vocalist's final chart-topping single and lingers as one of his most beloved rock n' roll numbers. Even though it never formally appeared on the record, the non-album song is included on here as a bonus track and attains newfound depth, energy, and swagger. Coupled with the other dozen tracks – including the sultry \"Power of My Love,\" balladic take of Dallas Frazier's \"True Love Travels on a Gravel Road,\" and driving cover of Hank Snow's \"I'm Moving On\" – it makes for an unforgettable listening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA quick note about “Wearin’ That Loved On Look”: \u003c\/strong\u003eIf you listen to MoFi’s UD1S or SACD reissue of \u003c\/em\u003eFrom Elvis in Memphis\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, you may hear a few clicks (or ticks) approximately 1:05 into the opening song. Rest assured. Those are not defects. Rather, they are sonic artifacts — possibly switch transients caused by the recording console at American Sound Studios — present on the original master tapes. The sounds are now more evident thanks to our superb mastering. When it comes to bringing you closer to the music and the truth of what happens in the recording studio, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab remains unsurpassed.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56666221379916,"sku":"821797221566","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/Elvis_Presley_FromElvisInMemphis__12180.jpg?v=1770369583","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/elvis-presley-from-elvis-in-memphis-mfsl-sacd","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
