It's no understatement to call Elvis Presley the chief catalystof the rock 'n' roll era. Presley earned his nickname "The King" byreleasing dozens of course-altering singles over the course of his influentialcareer; during the 1950s Presley's records spent a collective 53 weeks in theNo. 1 chart position. Almost everything you could want from Elvis is in onetowering collection — 24 Karat Hits, now abrilliant 45 RPM, three-LP set released by Analogue Productions!
Elvis' 24 greatest recordings here are painstakingly compiledand remastered from the original 1, 2 and 3-track master tapes lovingly storedin the vaults of RCA-Victor. All the hits are here from 1956's "HeartbreakHotel" to 1969's "Suspicious Minds." This three-LP Fort Knox ofmusic is mandatory for every music lover, let alone Presley die-hards and recordcollectors. A long-out-of-print audiophile favorite — known for its first-ratesound quality — it gets the royal treatment here on six wide-grooved sides of45 RPM 180-gram super-silent vinyl. Incredible!
Mastered by George Marino, the King's best work hasnever sounded so intimate, detailed, present and alive. Images are true, tonesare balanced, and the unbeatable warmth that only analog provides comes throughunabated on every cut.
Contained in the grooves of this album are some of the best rock'n' roll cuts recorded in the last 50 years. Had Elvis Presley done nothingelse but record "That's Alright, Mama," his place in pop musichistory would be secure. Presley fused rhythm and blues with country andlegitimized beat music for white audiences. On 24 Karat Hits, everymemorable facet of Presley's multiple personas is represented:The hip-shakingrebel ("Jailhouse Rock"), sensitive balladeer ("Can't HelpFalling in Love"), beckoning romantic ("Are You LonesomeTonight"), teen idol ("(Let Me Be) Your Teddy Bear"), sociallyconscious soul man ("In the Ghetto"), and passionate loverman("Suspicious Minds"). The two dozen songs on this golden compilationread like a history of pop music and play like it is unfolding before our veryeyes. There's no substitution for the experience this set provides.
Do not miss the chance to own part of American history inunsurpassed fidelity that brings the cream of Elvis' music into your room, instunning clarity.
This release is a gem. Buy two copies: One to treat your ears,the sealed copy to treasure as an investment. Solid audiophile gold — indeed!
