Did Eric records do IFTRTF?

[skabillyrebels]

IFTRTF ? song title please.

[javilu]

IFTRTF ? song title please.

The song we are talking about, I FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO FORGET.

If you think Eric records is better and you have the skills, please use the same song and create a file for an A-B comparison and let the audience decide.

[skabillyrebels]

I have know idea if Eric records did that song you would have to do a search for it.
And i have no interest in doing an A-B comparison with tracks that should be left in mono

The mono tracks are still available and always will be, this is just a an alternate way of hearing them for those who are interested.
If you are not perhaps you are arguing in the wrong thread?

Don’t Eric records make stereo tracks that should also be left in mono?

You posted a link to them, what was your point?
Your logic is inconsistent.

Nolan Truth,
I was merely showing a comparison between Eric records and Memphis Mansion.
which i am entitled to do.

javilu. when did i arguing on this thread?

Yes, you certainly are, but a comparison where?
I can hear a sample of the Eric’s track but the topic doesn’t include the memphis mansion version, plus javilu was discussing IFTRTF.
I’m confused. Have you heard the CD?

My copy arrived from MM, yesterday. I haven’t unpacked it, but plan to do so and give it a listen, today.⚡️

Any thoughts Swamp Fox because I’ve now ordered it too.

Thank you for comparison.
I prefer the top one, it’s clearer and sounds more ‘Sun’ to me.
Eric’s is a little bass heavy and muddled to me.

Eric have never done a dedicated Elvis CD, and they are expensive to purchase for the odd Elvis here and there. From Elvis At Sun is all Elvis and only €13 so I’m happy that it is on its way.
Would you have a scan of the sleeve notes?

Afraid not. i didn't buy the CD. a guy sent me the tracks to see what i thought of it
Which wasn't much. But to each their own. It's a case of whatever floats your boat.

Just arrived in Australia three days ago.
From Elvis At Sun....in stereo is a SENSATIONAL release.
I have enjoyed some of the previous "stereo" versions back in 2020 on 'Elvis Reborn' but this new set is in a league of its own.
Probably because DES software has improved so much over the last 5 years.

How anyone can say that they can't hear the "stereo" beggars belief...I have enjoyed playing the CD on LOUD speakers, good quality head-phones and blasting it in the car going to work.

My thoughts in part..

The CD kicks off with ‘That’s All Right’ - and it sounds magnificent. It starts with Elvis and Scotty Moore strumming guitars on the left channel, Bill Black plucking double-bass on the right channel with Elvis singing dead centre. Cranked up it sounds like Elvis’ RCA single but more as it would have done for Sam Phillips when he walked into the studio that special day. Bill Black’s plucking also adds an additional staccato drum sound to the overall mix which helps drive the song more into Rock’n’Roll territory.

The mid-song break of Scotty Moore’s solo and Bill Black’s bass @01.05 now has a real studio ambience that you miss on the mono version.

Elvis’ acoustic guitar is far more distinctive in this “stereo” version and his vocal lovely and clear. The final play-off “all right now Mama, any way you doo-hoo” also brings up Elvis’ slight vibrato more than I’ve noticed before. Even the final strum of the chords has you holding on hoping they won’t mess up, knowing what magic they were about to get on tape. This is a very exciting version and in Stereo nicely replicates the MONO version without taking any of the original power away.

Maybe I seem overexcited by this, and perhaps it’s because I don’t previously own any “stereo” version of this life-changing song, but being able to look even deeper into this all-important recording is surely what any Elvis aficionado would want.

‘Blue Moon of Kentucky’ continues the exploration. Again Elvis’ rhythm guitar is nice emphasised, Bill Black drives the beat while Scotty Moore’s two solos (left channel) are delightful for only just making it. But it is Elvis’ sublime vocal, nicely showcased here, that made this the Master and the all-important B-Side.

‘Good Rockin’ Tonight’ kicks off with Elvis’ “wellll, I heard the news...” standing dead centre in the studio before Scotty Moore starts playing left channel and Bill Black starts plucking right channel. When Elvis sings the middle-eight, “Well, we’re gonna’ rock, we’re gonna’ rock… let’s rock” @01:00 on headphones listen out for Scotty’s tight one-string plucking, Elvis’ acoustic keeping the melody while Bill Black’s hammers the beat. There are moments where Bill Black is working so damn hard that he misses a few notes and with Elvis strumming hard away, I got an emotional feeling of pushing them along - “Cmon’ Boys you can make it, there’s a classic in here if you just get to the end!”

It’s a brilliant cut and in just over two minutes another life-changing record was down on tape.

Without going through every track in detail these new stereo versions mean that you can explore deeper into every track of these all-important sessions. Elvis’ acoustic guitar has never been clearer to listen to, Scotty Moore’s guitar solos even more fascinating and you begin to further understand how Bill Black really drove the beat while also adding that clever percussive sound.

There are also times where this CD now highlights a missed beat or a bum-note and so truly demonstrates how Sam Phillips (and Elvis too) always went for the overall feel and excitement of the take rather than looking for musical perfection.
