The Essential Undubbed Masters 


Just released is the 8 CD set "‪The Essential Undubbed Masters".


From the press-release:

Recording sessions can be time-consuming.‬ The process of recording a song or album is often very interesting.‬ ‪It’s like playing live in the studio, with the difference that if one goofed, they had to do it all over. ‬ ‪Small corrections could be made but especially erasing something from the tape was a problem.‬

‪Later on with the introduction of multitrack recording‬ equipment it became much easier to alter the recordings. ‬‪Channels could be erased or added and levels could be adjusted for each separate channel. ‬


‪Often a track that ends up on an lp or 45 contains overdubs‬ that were made at a later stage and added to the master take.‬ ‪Also most of The Elvis masters contain such overdubs.‬ ‪This set contains the master takes as they were made in the studio, without those overdubs.‬ ‪It’s as close as it gets to the pure sound of Elvis.‬
