Elvis Presley From Elvis In Memphis (LP, colored Vinyl)

(Sony Music) 12 tracks auf rot-schwarz marmoriertem Vinyl  (Bloody Mary Vinyl)

From Elvis In Memphis ist Elvis Presleys zehntes Studioalbum, das 1969 veröffentlicht wurde. Die Aufnahme des Albums markierte Presleys endgültige Rückkehr zu Nicht-Soundtrack-Alben, nachdem er seinen Filmvertrag mit Paramount Pictures beendet hatte. Motiviert durch seine frühen Einflüsse aus Country, Rhythm & Blues und den neuesten Musiktrends in Memphis, Gospel und Soul, beschloss Presley, diese Songs im American Sound Studio in Memphis aufzunehmen. Sein Comeback war perfekt, als er mit dem großartigen In the Ghetto einen Hit landete, der Platz drei der Billboard Hot 100 erreichte. Das Album kann als eine seiner besten Aufnahmen angesehen werden, unterstützt von einigen fantastischen Musikern. Es wird oft als eines der besten White-Soul-Alben aller Zeiten eingestuft.
