(2LP) This 2024 collection honours Elvis Presley’s deep connection to the city that shaped his groundbreaking career, capturing the sound of the Grammy award-winning artist who became the"King of Rock 'n' Roll".
The Memphis collection celebrates American singer/songwriter Elvis Presley’s deep connection to the city that shaped him, where he crafted some of the most defining moments of his career. Featuring newly mixed versions of his classic tracks, free of overdubs, this set of songs offers an unfiltered look at his raw, electrifying sound.
Memphis spans Presley’s early years at SUN Records in the mid-1950s, where he fused blues, country, and gospel to create rock ‘n’ roll, revolutionizing popular music. It then moves to his pivotal sessions at American Studios in 1969, where he reignited his career with hits like “Suspicious Minds” and “In the Ghetto,” marking his return to the charts after a string of movies of varying quality. His time at Stax in the early 1970s showcases his continued evolution, blending rock, soul, and R&B as he matured as an artist. Rounding out the collection are live performances from his triumphant 1974 hometown show and his final recordings at Graceland, where he made music just before his death in 1977. This album captures the essence of Memphis as the heartbeat of Elvis's artistry, chronicling his journey from a young visionary to a cultural icon.
Released on double vinyl via RCA/Legacy Recordings in 2024.
