NIEUW ALBUM: ELVIS AT STAX (release datum: 5 augustus)

 

Dit is de cover van het nieuwe album ELVIS AT STAX. Hierop alle opnamen die Elvis heeft opgenomen in de legendarische STAX STUDIO in Memphis, Tennessee. Er komt zowel een deluxe 3 disc editie inclusief vele outtakes alsmede een reguliere editie met enkel de standaard tracks.

De opnamen van Elvis in de Stax studio behoren tot het onbekendere werk van Elvis. Toch zijn nummers als "My Boy", "Help Me", "Promised Land", "Loving Arms" en "It's Midnight"  afkomstig uit deze studio... Stuk voor stuk favoriet bij de Elvis fan. Wellicht dat dit materiaal met deze release weer onder de aandacht wordt gebracht van muziekliefhebbers maar ook de Elvis fan. Want nog lang niet alle fans hebben deze opnamen compleet in de kast staan... niet verwonderlijk, de verkoopcijfers van de originele albums waren dramatisch... nu dus in de herkansing en in de allerbeste geluidskwaliteit. Mis deze release niet! Laat de Elvis revival maar beginnen!

De release datum is 5 augustus!!! Zet het in de agenda...
