Presley Elvis - American Crown Jewels (Käytetty CD)
€20,00Quick View”Long black limousine; The opening track of this album has always been a deep, dark and soulful song from the legendary ”From Elvis in Memphis” album, telling the story of a poor girl from the country leaving her friends and family behind to make it in the big city ”Groningen”. Her promise of one day returning to her hometown in a big shiny car is kept as she comes home in a hearse. In some way it is Elvis’ own story
Wearin’ that loved on look; When listening to the session tapes it becomes clear that Elvis really had difficulty giving his usual 110 % after so many fears of musical oblivion. He could still be the greatest though if he just put his mind to it as this great alternate take proves. Jusrt listen as he pauses on the line ”…Had to leave town for a little while”.
You’ll think of me; A lot of work went into the instumental and solos on this beautiful Mort Shuman composition. Elvis really took his job serious, as did the musicians.
A little bit of green; The first take of a beautiful country song. Just sit back and be overwhelmed by Elvis’ voice.
In the ghetto; This classic song became Elvis’ message to the world, he really cared, not just for the words he sang but for the musical value as well, prove of this are the 20+ takes he did on the song. Though little was changed during the course of recording this great song, this early take is a welcome addition to our collection.
Rubberneckin’; The only known take without the horn overdubs, losing nothing of it’s power, rather gaining. Elvis sounds like he is really enjoying himself during this fun song.
From a Jack to a King; There are a few songs Elvis recorded during his legendary American Sound Sessions that shouldn’t have been recorded. ”Hey Jude” is the best example but the next recorded selection, Ned Miller’s ”From a Jack to a King” could be that number two. The ridiculous vocal overdubs are missing here but still the song lacks that something special that most other songs did possess.
Without love; A powerful song that was recorded, among others, by the legendary Clyde McPhatter of The Drifters fame. Elvis admired this famous vocal group and recorded several of their songs like ”Money Honey”, ”Such a night”, ”Fools fall in love” and their rendition of ”White Christmas” which he copied note for note. Clyde’s solo performances of ”Without love” really suits Elvis as well, perhaps even better and he does a great job on it.
Suspicious minds; Talking of legendary songs, this Mark James composition is certainly one of them. Everything seems to fall into place with this tear-jearking lovesong. A classic in his own right and every alternate take should be made available even though few are complete. Elvis had to struggle his way through the ”would I still see suspicion in your eyes” line time after time.
True love travels on a gravel road; What can be said of this breathtaking country song. This first try-out take, nothing more than a rehearsal, takes the tempo up compared to the released version on the ”From Elvis in Memphis” album. Elvis’ voice is magnificent and the piano playing in the second verse combined with Elvis’ voice is spine tingling.
Power of my love; During the Sixties the songwriters trio Giant/Kaye wrote some horrible music for several of Elvis’ even more horrible movies. All of this can be forgiven when listening to the more than powerful ”Power of my love” which could be easily have been titled ”Power of my voice”.
After loving you; During the recording of this powerful composition Elvis can be heard saying ”takes me way back, that Motherfucker”. He really went back and in his mind must have seen Beale Street, the housing projects in downtown Memphis and eventually Sam Phillips’ tiny recording studio. He really went back during ”After loving you” and this outtake proves it.
And the grass won’t pay no mind; The mastertake of Neil Diamond’s classic song done in a much faster tempo but overwhelming just the same. Consider”

Slim Harpo - Baby Scratch My Back (LP)
€33,00Quick ViewRepropainos yhdestä kautta-aikojen parhaista levyistä.
The quintessential swamp blues specimen in its mighty mono glory! Slim Harpo’s swamp blues stylings earned him almost instantaneous success, his first single quickly becoming a blues standard and later a British Invasion darling. Originally released on Nashville’s Excello Records, Slim’s ‘66 LP is full of his signature harmonica and nasal tenor, its double entendre-laced title track being the most successful of his short career. Influential to a wide array of artists (Otis Redding, The Rolling Stones, Flamin’ Groovies, and many others have covered Slim’s songs), Baby Scratch My Back gets its long overdue first reissue!
