November 12 - From Elvis In Memphis UD1S 2-LP

The release of the 'From Elvis In Memphis' LP as a UltraDisc One Step UD1S, 45 RPM 180 Gr. 2LP box-set has been postponed until 2021. 

This LP was remastered using pure analogue components at half speed by Krieg Wunderlich from the original mastertape at MFSL. The price-tag for these albums is circa US$150-200.

What is Ultradisc One-Step 

Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's new Ultradisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step, bypassing two processes of generational loss to create the ultimate in sound quality. 

By skipping the additional steps of pulling another positive and an additional negative, as done in the three-step process used in standard pressings, UD1S produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today. The removal of the additional two steps of generational loss in the plating process reveals tremendous amounts of extra musical detail and dynamics, which are otherwise lost due to the standard copying process. 

Every conceivable aspect of vinyl production is optimized to produce the most perfect record album available today. 

Elvis: That's The Way It Is Coming to North American Cinemas

Trafalgar Releasing and Warner Bros. today announced the upcoming release of Elvis: That’s The Way It Is: Special Edition, in cinemas across North America from December 3 to 6. This follows the success of the release earlier in the year across the UK and additional selected territories. The film took the number one spot on the UK cinema box office on night of release, making it the biggest popular music concert release of 2020 at that time. 

To celebrate 85 years of Elvis Presley and 50 years since the film’s original 1970 release, the King returns to cinemas – remastered - with Elvis: That’s The Way It Is: Special Edition, an unmissable event for fans.

Tickets will be on sale beginning today at ElvisThatsTheWayItIs.com, where fans can find the most up-to-date information regarding participating theaters.
