All Purpose Elvis Vinyl Thread

[frus75]

What’s your favorite pressing for Spinout and speedway? I have both original Indianapolis pressings. Spinout sounds good, even if beach shack sounds a bit hot. Speedway is terrible , though, Elvis vocal has distortion (probably from the recording itself). I also hace a Jack Adams cut from early 80’s where the distortion is greatly reduced. Was wondering if maybe the NL mid 80’s German releases are better , or any other.

This is the best Spinout I've heard although my copy has a bit of sibilance and distortion on I'll Remember You.

You like it better than the original? What other pressings have you compared it with ? Thanks?!

It’s the best Ive heard so far although not great; that said, You’ll Think Of Me sounds excellent as does From A Jack To A King.

Im hoping to get the German black label silver ring 1983 release to see if its more dynamic.

Was a (very) long time since i played this Australian release from 1975.
Was pleasant suprised how good it was.
The artwork for the gatefold sleeve is well done and original, and uses totally (for the time) new and original pics.
The sound throughout is very good too, no idea who mastered this, but it has punch, it sounds crisp and has bass.
The tracks from "Aloha" have a bit more reverb on Elvis' voice and do sound better this way then the original from 1973 full album version.
"Snowbird" is perfect edited, you have to remember that the only master available at the time was the "Elvis Country" version with "I was born 10.000 years ago" stuck to it. Remember the "Canadian tribute" version where it cuts off wat too fast.
All in all, a very good compilation released in Australia during in his lifetime, with very good sounding recordings!

Just picked this up - sounds excellent and preferable to the Indianapolis Tan label press IMO
