Elvis Presley – Memphis | Album Release

RCA Records & Legacy Recordings Release First Fully Comprehensive Collection Of Elvis Presley’s Hometown Recordings, ‘Memphis,’ On 5 CD/2LP/Digital Formats

Set Features 111 Career-Spanning Tracks, Including 88 Remixed By Matt Ross-Spang With Overdubs Removed

Release Coincides With The 70th Anniversary Of Presley’s First Sessions At Sun Studio

The first fully comprehensive collection of Elvis Presley’s hometown recordings arrives this week with ‘MEMPHIS’ (RCA Records / Legacy Recordings) – a 111-track box set spanning from his earliest sessions at Sun Studio (which celebrate their 70th anniversary this summer) to his final recordings in Graceland’s Jungle Room. Along the way, the Bluff City serves as both home and muse to Presley, playing a pivotal role as he finds creative rebirth at American Sound in 1969, overcomes personal struggles at Stax in 1973, and brings his most extravagant and spellbinding live show to the Mid-South Coliseum in 1974.

Produced by noted Elvis authority Jørgensen, with rare archival material and new liner notes by Gordon, ‘MEMPHIS’ is available in 5CD, 2LP, and digital configurations, giving fresh insight into the bond between Elvis and his eternal home.

With the exception of the Sun recordings, all tracks on ‘MEMPHIS’ were newly mixed by Ross-Spang at Southern Grooves in Memphis, with overdubs stripped away – leaving the listener with only what Elvis heard live in the studio. With this intimacy, new revelations abound – from Elvis’ intuitive chemistry with “The Memphis Boys” at American, to the subtle way he builds his vocal phrasing around his backing singers in the Stax sessions, or the palpable joy he brings to his final sessions in the Jungle Room. Through it all, the listener is standing next to Elvis – hearing exactly what he is hearing.
