Comes with a 8 pages booklet with notes by David Parker and Anthony Stuchbury
Announcement:
Rediscover 109 tracks of the King with a new stereo mix! This 4 CD box set
brings together the essential tracks of the 50s.
Tracks from Elvis' albums, but also from the soundtracks of his films, including
some rarities such as versions used for the films and different from the
versions released on album.
Please note that this box set is a limited edition including an 8-page booklet
and a slipcase.
A few words from the producer: When producing these mono to stereo 50s masters,
I "tried" to make the mixes consistent with how they would have been mixed at
the time, if they had been originally recorded in stereo. I used various
resources, including tracks from the time, which were recorded in this way,
usually with the drums panned. A good comparison would be the hits of Neil
Sedaka, also an artist recorded by RCA, whose masters from that era are mixed in
this manner, and continued to be so until the early 1960s when he worked for the
label. Between 1954 and 1958, stereo recording techniques began to evolve, which
led to a possible change in the way songs were mixed. A common misconception is
that the Jordanaires' backing vocals were mixed to the side, usually to the
right, but there is no evidence that this was the case on Elvis' hits in the
1950s. Generally, this is the type of mix that was used on Elvis' recordings
from 1960 onwards, but even then it was not always the case, as can be heard in
the May 1963 recordings, where the backing vocals can be heard in the center.
Ultimately, mixing is the producer's job, and it's always subjective. So I used
that freedom to create what I like best, including occasionally panning the
backing vocals and centering the drums. I hope these four discs take you back to
Elvis's 1950s era and that you enjoy the transformation of audio and mixes.
