It was great!I got the double LP for my birthday, and just longed for school to end so I could run home and play it over and over. Oh, what memories...Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253626531289651309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509925059046197667.post-26405987107085187062009-02-26T15:51:00.000+01:002009-02-26T15:51:00.000+01:00It's a great version, Tygrrius!

Still looking forward to this album, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509925059046197667.post-41222152255214640362009-02-25T00:48:00.000+01:002009-02-25T00:48:00.000+01:00Mårtenbrother wrote: the 1972 studio recordings ar...Mårtenbrother wrote: <BR/><I>the 1972 studio recordings are very nice, but like Elvis in the studio 1975 he's a little too professional, making it a little boring listening to outtakes.

Even though I love both of these sessions, I've always wondered why I never gravitate to listening to outtakes from them. Poor Elvis, we fans even harp on him when he's too focused. ;)<BR/><BR/>Incidentally (though sort of a contradiction to what I just said), my favorite song is probably Elvis' "rehearsal" version of "Always On My Mind" -- first heard on <I>This Is Elvis</I>. It's right up there with "If I Can Dream" for me.Troy Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10778360977396765591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509925059046197667.post-56175371812609286092009-02-23T22:22:00.000+01:002009-02-23T22:22:00.000+01:00I guess and hope that this release means that the ...I guess and hope that this release means that the pop 1971 recordings will be collected on a FTD 2 CD album. Maybe entitled "I'm Leavin' - the lost 1971 folk music album"? :-) I've always had a soft heart for Elvis 1971 pop recordings - his not so perfect vocals seem to suit (most of) the material. Kinda like the 1976 recordings. BTW, the 1972 studio recordings are very nice, but like Elvis in the studio 1975 he's a little too professional, making it a little boring listening to outtakes. He's a little too focused!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
