ELVIS PRESLEY/GOLDEN RECORDS VOLUME 3 LPM 2765 (-63) MONO GERMANY

 Long time since I found an Elvis vinyl worth buying, then this suddely occured. Not in a bin, but as a present from a former girlfriend by mail. Maybe too private to share here, though it made me so happy I just have to tell. Number three in a serie with some of his best. For the two former check  https://monolover.blogspot.com/search?q=elvis+golden+records . Here I can enjoy classics like "It's Now Or Never", "Stuck On You", "Surrender", "Are You Lonesome Tonight" and "Little Sister" in mono with absolutely smashing audio - big warm and natural. At gunpoint I may prefer his earliest stuff over these more neatly arranged recordings, but the backing here, including The Jordanaires, is so perfect and his voice so intriguing I just have to give in. I mean - Elvis is Elvis and there will be no other like him...ever. Now I'll get back to my listening chair, put this on the turntable and just enjoy. Issued and reissued all over the world on all possible formats through the years. I can't count them all. This German seems to be an early second press, having the same matrices and and sleeve as the original, only label design differs. It came with label as shown here on heavy vinyl in thin fully laminated cover. (GÖXÄ*)  (ÄWY*)
