Elvis Memphis RCA Release

From RCA Records and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, ‘MEMPHIS’, the definitive and first fully comprehensive collection of Elvis Presley’s hometown recordings. Over 111 tracks, ‘MEMPHIS’ captures Presley from his earliest sessions at Sun Studio – which occurred 70 years ago this Summer – to his final recordings in Graceland’s Jungle Room. Along the way, the Bluff City serves as both home and muse to Presley, playing a pivotal role in the dramatic arc of his artistry as he finds creative rebirth at American Sound in 1969, overcomes personal struggles at Stax in 1973, and brings his most extravagant and spellbinding live show to the Mid-South Coliseum in 1974. Produced by noted Elvis authority Ernst Jørgensen, with rare archival material and new liner notes by GRAMMY-winning music historian Robert Gordon, ‘MEMPHIS’ will be released in 5CD, 2LP and digital configurations, giving fresh insight into the bond between Elvis and his eternal home.

During Elvis Week Ernst Jorgensen, Robert Gordon and Matt Ross-Spang did a listening session, hosted by Tom Brown, giving background on the newly mixed tracks and discussing the story behind the new ‘MEMPHIS’ 5 CD box set.
