From Elvis In Memphis - 55th Anniversary (3-LP set)

 From Elvis In Memphis - 55th Anniversary (3-LP set)

When looking at Elvis' life, there were three producers that were responsible for a boost in Elvis' career. The first has to be Sam Phillips; the next Steve Binder; and last but not least, Chips Moman.

 

All three men knew exactly what they wanted, and they pushed Elvis to his limits, creating a result beyond anyone's expectations. And no, it wasn't luck that brought these men to Elvis 

at the right time.

Together, these men created the right time! On these three albums, we're presenting alternate takes of tracks that Elvis recorded in 1969 at the American Sound Studio - Memphis, Tennessee.

Produced by Chips Moman, they are all among the best songs that Elvis ever recorded. Also included is a complete LP, filled with Elvis singing many songs from these Memphis sessions, live on stage in 1969/1970. 

Recorded on multitrack tapes and digitally mastered for vinyl.
