Biography

Elvis Aaron Presley is one of the biggest-selling artists of all-time, but mere numbers cannot begin to explain the colossal cultural impact he had in the mid-20th Century. He was a central figure in the transformation of the grey, conservative 50s into the technicolor 60s through the liberalizing effect of rock and pop music. Frank Sinatra had proved extremely popular in the 40s with young ... Read more in Amazon's Elvis Presley Store

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for your elvis collection 24 Nov 2003
By mags
Format:Audio CD
This cd is a stunner! Although it was released many years ago, it was never high up on my list of "wants". However, now I can see what I have been missing.

An insight into how much he enjoyed singing is apparent immediately, but also his sense of fun is there too. Tracks are mostly ballads, and his rendition of Danny Boy is really quite something.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any body who likes the Elvis of the 70's 7 Jun 2000
By cnicholson@esatclear.ie
Format:Audio CD
We can not expect any more new songs from Elvis so I was delighted to hear these alternate take's and through all 17 tracks the sound quality is good and Elvis himself seems to have enjoyed the recordings, his voice sounds in top form and I didn't hear the emptiness I hear in some of his other recordings

The alternate take of "She thinks I still Care" is pleasantly different from the ones I know and surly one of the better ones

The acoustic guitar gives both "Never Again" and "Love Coming Down" a sweet touch

The tracks I enjoyed most were "Bitter They Are Harder.....","She Thinks I Still Care", It's Easy For You" and He'll Have To Go" and the one a enjoyed least of all was "Hurt" but than it is never one of my favourites

The only three fast tracks on the album are "Moody Blue", "Way Down" and "Fire Down Below" the latter one being instrumental, so when you are looking for a Rock 'n Roll album than this is not the album for you but when you enjoy listening to the Elvis of the 70's than I am sure you enjoy this album as much as I did

5.0 out of 5 stars Rumble in the Jungle 22 April 2006
By Paul Rowthorn
Format:Audio CD
WOW! That's how I would describe one of the best Follow That Dream releases. Firstly, the sound is incredible and the FTD team have worked wonderfully on the 1976 tapes. Secondly, and more importantly Elvis sounds fantastic. His voice is brilliant! Considering the slating that his Graceland sessions got, he's in a great mood. I read many reviews in the past relating to the sessions and how Elvis was in a foul mood, well not here! His voice lends itself to ballads and up tempo songs. Considering these are actually OUTTAKES, it's amazing they have been sitting in the vaults for so long. I would rate this 6 stars, but unfortunately don't have the option - so it is 5 star plus! If you are new to the collectors label, I would recommend you start your collection with this one. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem. Top quality Elvis. 29 Mar 2007
By GrandisG
Format:Audio CD
When reviewing Elvis CD's for Amazon, you do have to imagine that many readers will not already have lots of the King's albums...and will be looking through the reviews to pick out the best ones...well look no further. The remastered quality of this 1976 album is superb, as is Elvis' voice, and the inclusion of the out-takes where you can hear Elvis commenting to the band just gives it that 'in the studio with him' feel. Its miles away from the 50's Elvis that so much of the music press claim is the only era of the Elvis catalogue worth listening too...which is complete rubbish of course. It would be easy to recommend any of a thousand other albums to newer fans of the king, such as any greatest hits cd's..but wait...this album is a true example of why the music of Elvis is so loved,respected and enjoyed and so sad to think that he would only live for another year. Possibly the greatest version of Danny Boy is included here, and all I can say is you wont regret buying this album! If however, you are already a big fan of the King, and want to add another CD to your collection, order it NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hats off for Production! 15 Nov 2006
By Mr. Paul Flynn
Format:Audio CD
These tapes have been lovingly transferred to the digital medium. Stripped down and laid bare they sound better than most of the official Elvis Presley RCA catalogue could ever hope to. The stereo soundstage is fabulous. To complement Elvis' vocals (which are very 'up there' and clear) the drums, bass and piano sound outstanding and I cannot overstate this even if I tried. With a good sound system the King hasn't left the building, he's in your living room! The best FTD release to date IMO. Period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Being Elvis Presley 10 Nov 2010
By Oliver Twist
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm sitting here listening to The Jungle Room Sessions by Elvis Presley. It's incredibly beautiful. The story, in so far as I know it, runs as follows:

By 1976, RCA (his record company) was finding it increasingly difficult to coax Elvis into the studio to record new material. So if Elvis would not go to the mountain, then the mountain must come to Elvis. It was agreed that the recording equipment would be set up in the now famous "Jungle Room" at Graceland, and Elvis would...record. The producer was Felton Jarvis, who worked on a lot of Elvis' later material. Many, if not all, of the tracks produced during these Jungle Room sessions are on the cd. There are seventeen of them, mainly in the form of alternate takes, which include a number of false starts as well as a lot of the before and after studio banter between Elvis and his musicians. A lot of these songs are very beautiful indeed, and although it was only a little over a year before he died, vocally and temperamentally Elvis actually sounds in good shape. And he pours his still considerable heart into the material.

There is a story, which I picked up online - and for the truth of which I cannot vouch - that after the sessions were completed, Felton Jarvis found himself standing next to Elvis on the lawn at Graceland. It was night-time (of course) and the conversation went as follows:

Elvis: "I'm so tired...."

Jarvis: "You've worked hard. You deserve a holiday."

Elvis: "No, you don't understand what I mean. I'm just so tired of being Elvis Presley..."

The great thing about these sessions is that they give you a fully rounded portrait of the artist.... Read more ›
