I can't, for the life of me, think of another album, sung and produced by the white man, that deserves the attribute of "Soul" album more than this one (I am white, so there's no racial element here). But lo and behold, here's a member of such rare species. Here is the KING doing his royally SOULFUL thing. Whether he was manipulated into recording four-sides worth of prime deep-south soul stuff in Chips Moman's "American Studios", or he simply wanted a reprieve from the godawful soundtrack drek Colonel Parker forced him to do, Elvis Presley recorded what is a true soul masterpiece in more ways than one: His final, big work - the "From Elvis in Memphis" album. It would be all downhill from here. One listen to "Long Black Limousine" which simply radiates Gospel in all directions, and you will realize why this guy was a KING. There was no such voice - certainly in the Caucasian world - ever. Personnel includes a proverbial who-is-who of Muscle Shoals Deep-Soul: In addition to Elvis Presley (vocals, piano);  Tommy Cogbill (guitar, bass); Reggie Young (guitar); John Hughey (steel guitar); Ed Kollis (harmonica); Jackie Thomas (saxophone, trombone); Andrew Lowe, Glen Spreen, J.P. Luper (saxophone); R.F. Taylor, Wayne Jackson, Dick Steff (trumpet); Jack Hale, Ed Logan, Gerald Richardson (trombone); K. Adkins (bass trombone); Tony Cason, Joe D'Gerolamo (French horn); Bobby Wood (piano): Bobby Emmons (organ); Mike Leech (bass); Gene Chrisman (drums); Joe Babcock, Dolores Edgin, Mary Greene, Millie Kirkham (background vocals). - - Producers: Chips Moman, Felton Jarvis.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG++, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions (probably just sleeve scuffs inflicted in storage over the years) ARE VISIBLE, but they appear fairly  insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The album comes with the ORIGINAL ELVIS PRESLEY BONUS PHOTO included

(c)           The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(d)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(e)           The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(f)            Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
