During the King’s artistically unproductive period of military service, no costs or efforts were spared (e.g. "A Date With Elvis", RCA LPM-2011), and no consolatory promises of things to come were left unsaid by the management in order to keep Elvis alive and well in the minds of his vast circle of fans. At last the great coup was landed: "Elvis Is Back" was what everyone was waiting to hear and American radio and television broadcasting stations made a gigantic medial feast of it. With the ink scarcely dry on his demobilization papers, Elvis entered the studio in March 1960 and recorded a whole series of numbers which later became worldwide hits, such as "Are You Lonesome Tonight" and "It’s Now Or Never". Released as singles, these tender ballads created a sensation, while the LP with numbers such as "Dirty, Dirty Feeling", "Like A Baby" and "The Thrill Of Your Love" underlined Elvis’s enhanced qualities as a rock, blues and gospel singer. That his voice - despite everyone’s fears - had lost nothing of its erotic thrill is more than amply demonstrated in his rendering of "Fever" alone, which is accompanied merely by bass and percussion. With its amazing array of varying styles, this must surely be one of Elvis’s most genial albums and was unrivaled right up until his great comeback in 1968 ("From Elvis In Memphis", RCA LSP-4155). This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. More information under http://www.pure-analogue.com.

Den aufwändigen Frischhalte-Strategien ("A Date With Elvis" / RCA LPM-2011) und tröstenden Durchhalte-Parolen, mit denen das Management der Elvis-Gemeinde die künstlerisch unproduktive Militärzeit des Kings versüßt hatte, folgte der große Coup. "Elvis Is Back" lautete die ersehnte Vollzugsmeldung, die von den amerikanischen Radio- und Fernsehstationen zum medialen Großereignis ausgebaut wurde. Mit der noch warmen Entlassungsurkunde im Gepäck begab sich Elvis noch im März 1960 ins Studio und nahm eine Reihe von späteren Welthits auf wie "Are You Lonesome Tonight" und "It´s Now Or Never". Während diese Schmusesongs als Single-Veröffentlichungen für Furore sorgten, zeigt die LP mit Nummern wie "Dirty, Dirty Feeling", "Like A Baby" und "The Thrill Of Your Love" Elvis’ erstarkte Qualitäten als Rock-, Blues- und Gospelsänger. Dass seine Stimme – allen Befürchtungen zum Trotz – nichts von ihrer prickelnden Erotik verloren hatte, beweist der Meister in "Fever", allein von Bass und Perkussion begleitet. In seiner stilistischen Vielfalt stellt dieses Album einen der genialsten Würfe des frühen Elvis dar, dem vor seinem großen Comeback im Jahr 1968 ("From Elvis In Memphis" / RCA LSP-4155) nichts Vergleichbares folgte. Diese Speakers Corner Produktion wurde unter Verwendung von analogem Masterband und Mastering 100% rein analog gefertigt. Mehr Informationen unter http://www.pure-analogue.com.
