  • Epspirit.Pdf
    An expanded version of an article originally published in Elvis Unlimited magazine: Las Vegas, Nevada, December 7th, 1976: After performing the “Hawaiian Wedding Song” Elvis tells the audience, “there’s something that I wanna do before I leave here, because we’ve never done this before…if you don’t mind, I know you’ve been sitting here for a long time, (but) I’d like to do a couple or three spiritual songs for you”. Elvis is planning an impromptu gospel medley of “You Better Run” and “Bosom Of Abraham”, and will sing the bass parts, whilst Charlie Hodge takes over lead vocal duties. Before he starts singing a member of the audi- ence calls out “you’re the king!” to which Elvis re- plies, “thank you sir, I’m fixing to sing about him”. This moment really sums up Elvis’ love of gospel music, and his attitude towards his own faith, and as it was recorded during one of the shows from his final Las Vegas season, it also provides a timely reminder that gospel music was an impor- tant influence on both Elvis’ music, and his stage performances, from his first recordings right up until his last. The Presley family moved to Memphis in 1948, and Elvis would attend the First Assembly of God Church with his mother Gladys. Gospel music was undoubtedly his first love, and both the singing and physical performance styles of gospel quartets such as The Blackwood Brothers and The Statesman Quartet were a huge influence on the young Elvis. James Blackwood re- called, “The story got out that he auditioned for The Blackwood Brothers and we told him he couldn’t sing, but this is entirely untrue.

Studio A was narrower and bigger, with high ceilings and a brighter sound. I cut more in Studio A, as a rule.34 When Jennings returned to the studio in February 15, 1967, to record one of his signature songs, “Only Daddy That’ll Walk the Line,” he recalled the nature of recording in Studio A: Where it finishes is late some night in Studio A. The musicians have gone home. The track is done. They’ve moved the microphone from the vocal booth to the floor, so I can have more room to move, though I don’t move much. We’re working on ‘Only Daddy That’ll Walk the Line.’ I’m going to sing harmony with myself, the moaning OH of “Only.” If you slide into the control room, maybe with Bare or Johnny Darrell, you might catch Chet and the engineer bent over the board, listening to me in solo with the track shut off, trying to get a fix on the frequency where my voice is wandering. I’m out in the studio. I’ve got the headphones turned up high. I’m walking’ the line and talkin’ the line, doing a little dance to Wayne Moss’s stuttering Tex-Mex guitar solo as it comes blazing through. Chicken-pickin’. Singing along to the chorus.

  • Royal Studios and the Creation of the Hi Sound
    Royal Studios and the Creation of the Hi Sound Matt Hicks 2013 Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies To say the city of Memphis has a legacy of music is an understatement. From the home of the blues and to the birthplace of rock n' roll, from Elvis to Al Green, Memphis has served as a conduit of musical ideas, shaping and influencing upcoming artists with the legacies of their forerunners. The concentration of music in this city led to the development of many recording studios. In turn, these studios shaped Memphis's musical output. It is difficult to imagine rock and roll without the recordings created at Sun Studio in the fifties. In the following decades, soul music was nurtured at Stax and then Royal studios, creating a worldwide phenomenon. In many ways, Memphis’s recording spaces – and the producers and engineers that worked them – facilitated the growth of Memphis music. This is especially the case with Royal Studios. Unfortunately, many of the most successful of Memphis's recording studios were forced to close by the late seventies. Sun Studios began its decline after Elvis Presley left the label and am Phillips lost interest. The label was sold to Shelby Singleton and Mercury Records in 1969, and the studio was sold to an auto parts company, then converted back into a recording studio in 1987 and reopened as a museum. Stax met a similar fate in 1975, after several years of distribution problems with Atlantic Records and later CBS Records. Bankrupt by December of 1975, the Stax label was sold to Fantasy Records.

  • Rebel Designs Presents Elvis Is Back
    Earlier this year I found myself discussing the merits of the original cover artwork for the “Elvis Is Back!” album, with fellow For Elvis CD Collectors forum member, EPA4368. (aka Joe). We both agreed that it would have been great if RCA had included a complete photo booklet in the style of the 1957 “Elvis’ Christmas Album”, and this led us to discussing the type of photos that could have been included in the package. As we all know, RCA were keen to keep Elvis in the public eye and at the top of the pop charts during his army service, and whilst he was stationed in Germany they put out three albums of previously issued masters designed to keep the fans supplied with Presley product. The first of these “For LP Fans Only” was issued in February of 1959, and used a beautiful 1956 publicity photo for the front sleeve, whilst a more recent portrait of Elvis in uniform appeared on the back. At shot of Elvis in uniform behind the wheel of a car adorned the cover of the second compilation, “A Date With Elvis”, which was issued in August of 1959, and this was accompanied by a 1960 calendar on the reverse, which served to remind fans of Elvis’ army discharge, which was then scheduled for March 24th, 1960. Before Elvis left for Germany a short, but very successful Nashville session on June 10, 1958 had produced five masters, and three of these appeared on single releases whilst Elvis was away. “A Fool Such As I” / “I Need Your Love Tonight” was issued in March 1959, whilst “A Big Hunk O’ Love” was coupled with the earlier recording “My Wish Came True” and issued in June 1959.

    June 2014 Newsletter -------------------------------------- Yesterday & Today Records P O Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Phone: (02) 95311710 Email: [email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au -------------------------------------- Well it has been a long time between drinks. Last newsletter and the one before were both well over 100 pages. Let me tell you the work involved in getting one of them ready is mammoth. So much so that I must admit to being more than a tad discouraged at the response. Yes, I was contemplating closing but I had an epiphany of sorts when I realised what is required and that is more of a boutique operation. That doesn’t mean I am going to start selling frangipani scented candles but rather just downsize things. It will entail having less of the $5 and $10 cds which required a lot of work just to maintain. There will be some. The newsletter will be more compact. But the great lot of indie country cds will not diminish. Naturally I won’t be able to continue sending newsletters to everyone but long term customers & friends have nothing to worry about. As always I do buy collections and pay very good prices. If you have some things you don’t need or know of anyone who has a collection for sale please let me know. Consider it as musical recycling at its best. There is always someone who will be happy and grateful, believe me. If you have no further use for something than go ahead..make someone else’s day. Sadly there have been a few long time customers who I would classify as friends who have passed on.
