Elvis Presley ElvisIs Back! 200-gram45 RPM double LP set
Mastered from the originalanalog tapes by George Marino at Sterling Sound
1960 studio album isPresley's best full-length effort
"...His voice was in superb form, he was backed by the mostsympathetic line-up in his career - including Scotty Moore, the Jordanaires,Hank Garland and DJ Fontana - and the repertoire included 'Fever,' 'The Girl OfMy Best Friend,' 'Reconsider Baby,' 'Such A Night.'" Sound Quality = 95%out of 100% - Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News, December2010
"...This 45 RPM mastering by George Marino at SterlingSound is astonishing. Yes, the double 45 RPM format is bound to yield a sonicimprovement and I'd never bet against Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman atAcousTech, but this sounds so far superior in almost every way." Music =10/11; Sound = 10/11 - Michael Fremer, musicangle
The ultra-hyped, hugely celebrated return of the King most certainly did notdisappoint. Elvis Presley's first full-length release after leaving the Army,aptly titled Elvis Is Back! was the answer to Elvisfans waiting anxiously for new material. Record label executives worriedabout whether he'd still be able to crank out the hits. Radio stations weredying for something new for their most requested playlist. It all combined tomount tremendous pressure on Elvis and all involved to deliver something thatlived up to expectations. As it turned out, it was worthy of a giant yellowexclamation point on the front cover!
Almost immediately after his service time had ended, Elvisentered the studio in March 1960 to record a batch of songs that would go on tobecome monumental worldwide hits. The singles "Are You LonesomeTonight" and "It's Now Or Never" created a tidal wave ofexcitement. And the LP tracks like "Fever," "The Thrill Of YourLove," "Dirty, Dirty Feeling" and "Like A Baby"confirmed that the King was still able to deliver a whole program worth ofincomparable material. Listen to "Fever" at 45 RPM if you want toshow someone what this hobby of yours is all about. Just vocals, bass andfinger-snapping, it sounds so dark and haunting. It's worth the price ofadmission for just this one track alone.
While Presley's records, in the eyes of some reviewers, yieldedinconsistencies (mostly songs he recorded at the suggestion of others to appealto a certain audience or tie-in with a film), there's not one example ofmusical filler or a single forgettable performance on this 1960 gem.
Mastered by George Marino, the King's best work has neversounded so intimate, detailed, present and alive. Images are true, tones arebalanced, and the unbeatable warmth that only analog provides comes throughunabated on every cut.
Recorded over the course of two marathon sessions (one takingplace in Hollywood and the other in Nashville), the sound is wonderfullynatural and present. Every alluring shade, texture, and contour of Presley'svoice comes into your room with sheer transparency.
