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.

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
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.
