Elvis Presley Elvis Is Back (Vinyl) 12 Album

Elvis Is BackElvis Presley12 AlbumGenre: Rock and RollDescription: During the King's artistically unproductive period of military service no costs or efforts were spared (e.g. A Date With Elvis RCA LPM-2011) and no consolatory promises of things to come were left unsaid by the management in order to keep Elvis alive and well in the minds of his vast circle of fans. At last the great coup was landed: Elvis Is Back was what everyone was waiting to hear and American radio and television broadcasting stations made a gigantic medial feast of it.With the ink scarcely dry on his demobilization papers Elvis entered the studio in March 1960 and recorded a whole series of numbers which later became worldwide hits such as Are You Lonesome Tonight and It's Now Or Never. Released as singles these tender ballads created a sensation while the LP with numbers such as Dirty Dirty Feeling Like A Baby and The Thrill Of Your Love underlined Elvis's enhanced qualities as a rock blues and gospel singer. That his voice - despite everyone's fears - had lost nothing of it's erotic thrill is more than amply demonstrated in his rendering of Fever alone which is accompanied merely by bass and percussion.With it's amazing array of varying styles this must surely be one of Elvis's most genial albums and was unrivaled right up until his great comeback in 1968 (From Elvis In Memphis RCA LSP-4155).. March 1960 at RCA Studios Hollywood CA. And April 1960 in Nashville TS. USA by Bill Porter / Production: Chet Atkins.
