• Pure Sound of Elvis Undubbed Masters 1969-1976

This brand new deluxe 8 cd set is out now. Recording sessions can be time-consuming. The process of recording a song or album is often very interesting. It’s like playing live in the studio, with the difference that if one goofed, they had to do it all over. Small corrections could be made but especially erasing something from the tape was a problem. 

 

Later on with the introduction of multi-track recording equipment it became much easier to alter the recordings. Channels could be erased or added and levels could be adjusted for each separate channel.

 

Often a track that ends up on an LP or 45 contains overdubs that were made at a later stage and added to the master take. Also most of The Elvis masters contain such overdubs. This set contains the master takes as they were made in the studio, without those overdubs. It’s as close as it gets to the pure sound of Elvis. Sit back and enjoy!
