Elvis Presley: Memphis (Box Set)

[Kylan]

What I’m now discovering is the original master single that went to #1 can’t be found on Amazon music. Good grief!

Weird I tried both suggestions and get the live MSG version. I even tried the 30 number 1s and same thing.

"Repaired" version of Don't Cry Daddy. Single vocal version from the newly released Ross-Spang mix.

ElvisMixer produces some great mixes. Excellent work thank you for your own mix on this.

Most welcome my friend, I just used the base from the "Elvis : Memphis" boxset and replaced the vocals from the FTD "From Elvis at American Sound Studio". I was watching the live feed from Graceland on Wednesday evening, via the chat people were saying they didn't like vocals for Don't Cry Daddy. Also the guitar sync issues with Suspicious Minds.
When I mixed "Don't Cry Daddy" I also noticed that there is a change in speed from the original, the new mix is faster by 0.80, makes you wonder what the actual speeds are. Thanks - Mark

Is it Just me or does Find Out What’s Happening sound a bit slower than the album version?

Yes, I noticed that too. It could just be this new mix fooling my ears somehow, but it does sound a touch slower.

0.80% isn't much but it does make a massive difference by the time you start getting further in to the track
My mix of Moody Blue the vocals were sped up by 0.15%, again nothing much, but making severely out of sync.

Well done Mark !! Hope you can do the same for "Suspicious Minds" with the guitar timing issue.

good one Elvismixer

Can you fix up Promised Land 2024, to make up a new mix so as the Organ is not as loud.

Composite on "I'll Never Fall in Love Again OMOE volume 1 (1979) " and 2024 mix so as to allow the back up vocals as featured on OMOE, would be rather cool

Apologies for quoting myself, but having just listened to the album version, and the new Memphis version, I believe they are the same speed, at least Elvis' voice sounds the same. I think because the new version isn't as compressed as the album version, more "open" sounding, it somehow sounded slower.

Anybody else find it strange when Ernst said "if anybody is wondering why Elvis sounds different at American it's because of the poor equipment" paraphrased.

Elvis sounded incredible on these sessions, I don't get it.

I was fortunate enough to tour American sound back in '85 and again in '87, I realised immediately walking in what Elvis meant when he said "what a funky, funky place" it reminded me of my old neighbours dad's garage/workshop, he and his band used to use to rehearse...only bigger...it was that bad !

It's the truth. Neither AMERICAN, nor STAX used state of the art equipment. RCA did.

I have put together a quick fix for Any Day Now, think it turned out pretty good.

Any Day Now (Fixed)

Sometimes it's hard to follow up, could someone please re-upload "Any Day Now"? Thank you so much.

I couldn't find the posting for a repaired "Suspicious Minds".

Has anyone seen or heard about any chart activity with this release?

I’m not expecting anything major, but it seems that this set has caused quite a bit of controversy on social media/ forums.

"Repaired" version of Don't Cry Daddy. Single vocal version from the newly released Ross-Spang mix.

well now that's much better. Even if its mono medium.

Shame that I can only listen to this on YT,that means not only poor quality on YT itself (compressed lossy)
but also only on my old poor sounding laptop with rotten speakers.
So I wont bother.

[ElvisMixer]

I managed to remove all the additional background, replaced the vocals which have been brought forward slightly. Guitar has been toned down a little. Enjoy!
