Di Davide Raga

Con questa rivisitazione formato deluxe, la FTD ci risporta indietro nel tempo, esattamente al 1956, anno in cui vide la luce l’omonimo, primo LP del cantante.
Rispetto alla classica versione dell’album, la FTD ci offre in un elegante doppio CD in confezione formato 45 giri (nell’ormai tipico stile della “classic albums serie” ) i bonus singles “Heartbreak Hotel/I Was the One”, “Lawdy Miss Clawdy/Shake, rattle and Roll” e “My Baby left me/I want you, I need you, I love you”.
Si prosegue col capitolo “First RCA Session” col quale ci si tuffa nei lavori di incisione di I got a woman, Heartbreak Hotel, Money Honey, I’m counting on you e I was the one.
Il secondo CD si apre con le due “Dry reverb tapes” di I’m counting on you per proseguire poi con le complete sessions di Lawdy, Miss Clawdy (12 takes), Shake, Rattle and roll (12 takes) e le nove takes di I want you, I need you, I love you.
Ultima traccia del disco, un’intervista fatta ad Elvis da Don Davis.

Nel godere dell’ascolto di questo ennesimo buon prodotto FTD, sarete supportati da un libretto ricco di informazioni sulle sessions e foto tratte dalle stesse.
