Elvis Presley - Loving You 1957 (Deluxe Expanded Edition) (2006)

In those days there was a "tone" knob that varied the sound between muffled through tinny. It's still mono, but the quality is so good you can actually understand what Elvis is saying. The disk is a replica of the vinyl album blue with white lettering. Those born in the fifties or earlier have their own memories of what happened to it. I recall a jealous neighbor who put a fist right on Elvis's jaw.

Highlights are the drum work on Mean Woman Blues; the big base in Have I Told You Lately…and the folksy spin on I Beg Of You, which is every bit as good as the polished version. The alternate master of Party is a blast for the alternate lyrics: baby paint your lips/and regulate your wig/bring an army shovel if you really wanna dig/let's have a party. Still, it took a trip to one of the lyric sites to translate a line from I Beg Of You: same way I love you little girl/you got me at your mercy/'cause I'm in love with you…
