NEW Elvis Presley - Moody Blue (Vinyl* LP, 1977, RCA AFL1-2428)
Review from another site: The last Elvis Presley album released in the singer's lifetime, Moody Blue has a somewhat checkered history, especially among fans. Issued two months before Presley died, the album sold moderately well until Presley died -- then it soared up the charts to number three, as his most current album, and it ultimately sold two million copies. As to the music, the original ten-song album was a mixed bag of live recordings, interspersed with new studio work from the previous fall at Graceland. For all of its slapped-together feel, however, Moody Blue held up. The title song, authored by Mark James (who'd previously written "Suspicious Minds"), was just about as good a single as Elvis released in the 1970s, topping the country charts earlier in 1977; additionally, he did a superb reinterpretation of the George Jones hit "She Thinks I Still Care." "Little Darlin'" was almost more of a burlesque of the '50s rock & roll standard than a real performance, but it is more than made up for by the presence of the Johnny Ace classic "Pledging My Love," done with depth and sincerity.
* NOTE - The album Moody Blue was originally issued on blue vinyl. For the second pressing RCA switched to black vinyl. However, when Elvis died they went back to blue vinyl for the third pressing. The vinyl of this copy may be either blue or black, depending on when it was pressed. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell without opening it, so it is priced as if it is the less collectible blue. But you might get lucky! FACTORY SEALED in shrink wrap, PRISTINE. Satisfaction Guaranteed!
