Description
THE SOUND QUALITY OF EACH TRACK HERE IS THE RESULT OF MANY HOURS OF PAINSTAKING MINUSCULE ADJUSTMENTS AIMED AT EXTRACTING THE MOST NATURAL TONE AND AMBIENCE. THE RESULTS SHOULD PROVE TO BE A REVELATION TO THOSE FAMILIAR WITH THESE CLASSIC AND MEMORABLE PERFORMANCES: THOSE UNFAMILIAR SHOULD JUST DELIGHT IN A GREAT LISTENING EXPERIENCE Sam Philips set off the career of one of the most significant legends of American popular music when he recorded Elvis Presley for his Memphis-based Sun Record label in July 1954, putting him together with Scotty Moore (Guitar) and Bill Black (Bass) in the hope that the team might make good. The issue of "That's All Right" together with "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" led to work for the group locally and throughgout the South, with a mixture of success and setbacks. An association with "Colonel" Tom Parker led to Parker becoming Presley's manager. A high profile record label was needed and Sam Philips was pressed into selling Elvis's Sun contract, together with all of theSun material recorded, to RCA. The greater facilitiies of RCA formed the springboard for this then almost immediate fame which grew to unprecedented levels, still showing no signs of abating to this day. The King of Rock `N' Roll had a repertoire that included much of his favourite music and influences: whilst the Rock `N' Roll classics probably have the greatest appeal, echoes of performers such as The Ink Spots and Dean Martin together with gospel gave his work a more general popularity. As with all great artists, his talents extended to further than just his music: the demands of film and television presented no problem and his stage performances were stunning. The issue of this CD gives the first chance to hear some of his legendary early and highly sought-after recordings in a sound quality that more positively reveals the excitement generated by his performances.
