Allways keep your Elvis vinyls why? you ask,

Well it like this i was playing on of my movie soundtracks i think it was
Girl Happy, and some of the song's i can here something that i never heard before, at the end of of the song when they fad out- of a track some times i could hear Elvis talking at the end some time you hear him luaghing, or
you can here them saying (its a take).

you don't hear these thing on today cd album's they left them out.
i'll try to put them on here one day this week to let you hear.

this is why i love vinyls so much because of this.
i just like to pass this along.

I know that's not the only reason, Curtis, but it's cool to hear that one of yours. I must not be playing mine loud enough, because I think I've been missing out on some of that stuff!

I have lots of small, semi-trivial reasons for loving to play my records, but the combined effect of them all makes it impossible for me to not be a huge vinyl fan.

One of those little details: I love to hear the sound coming from the needle.

[curtis simpkins]

I hear mine with head phones on, this is a good way to hear lot of this,
and playing Elvis with head phones on you never miss anything, eveing
playing some of his concert albums.

[Lonniebealestreet]

That's certainly true of listening through headphones in general, but I actually rarely do so when I'm playing my vinyl.

A while back I listened to my Raised On Rock CD through headphones, and the difference in clarity was remarkable.

I keep an eye out all the time for Elvis records at 2nd hand shops. I also like listening to them, but I love the covers.

[curtis simpkins]

You can't beet those cover's on thoes lp's.
and i wish that the cds have nice cover's like the lp's version.

but i wish they didn't delete the lp's.
they should delete the tapes.

and keep they vinyl in the market.

Hi people

That brings to my question

did Evis laugh at the end of " if you talk in your sleep" on the promised land vinyl, and singing the word "free" or something ???

or am i wrong :!:

Yes he did, and also on the frist pressing of the cd with the other tracks.
on the 70s masters box set it was re-moved and on the new promised land
cd upgrade why they done this i really don't know.

they say they don't miss with Elvis music, but they do, i could tell when they starting missing with his music.
and to me it is wrong very wrong.

even on the Promised land song they re-moved his over dubbed on the 70s box set and the upgrade cd.

but not on the old version of they album
same goes on the song 'It's midnight" they re-move Elvis overdubb voice
on the 70s masters box set and the new upgrade cd.

why they do this, i really don't know, but i wish they just leave things alone.
this is way i love the old mix better then some of the new mix's we have now.

[Lonniebealestreet]

Interesting stuff, Curtis and Pieter. (y) I'll have to listen or those things.

[curtis simpkins]

Hi bobby.

it is very Interesting stuff when you hear what you been missing with today mix's, there's a lot of people like me notice these thing when playing Elvis music.

even when you play "Mama liked the rose's" from the camden album to today's
cd mix's at the end of the song on the vinyl version you can hear Humming
to the song at the end of the fad out, but this is the mono version, but on the 60s masters and other cd albums you dont hear this they re-move it has well.

you can hear the original version from the christmas camden album and the re-cd version, the cd version of the camden is the origianl mix from the master

and they didn't do nothing with the master tape.
so there is big difference when you play two difference mix's (y)

[sam]

I got rid of all my vinyl in the mid 80's. Haven't missed it yet!!! ;)


:secret: :flex:
(y)

[rick]

I don't play them often but I'd never sell a single-copy record.
As Curtis mentioned, they seem to pick up different things.
Have you noticed the `hoo-har' sounds at the end of I Can Help, that dound to me like a karate kick noise.

[elvis1970nl]

I still have all my vinyl, but all it does is bite dust. I don't use LP's anymore, but I don't think about selling them yet.

[Jungleroom76]

I haven't had my record player hooked up in years, because I have just had no place to keep it....but in terms of why you should keep your Elvis albums....

Aside from the obvious increase in value for Elvis' vinyl albums over the years, there is just something so cool about putting an Elvis record on the turntable, dropping that needle and listening to the crackles and snaps on the record right before the music starts....there is just something so nostalgic about listening to an Elvis record!!! :D

TCB!
Mike

[Lonniebealestreet]

Yup!

But come on, son--hook the thing up!

(h)

[Jungleroom76]

I know....I know.... :blink:

I really should hook it up....it has been YEARS since I've actually sat down and listened to an Elvis album ON VINYL!!!! I keep talking about how great it is to listen to an original vinyl album....I guess now I should actually do it!! :blush:

TCB!
Mike

[curtis simpkins]

It's fun, i have a good friend, and when i tell him that i have been playing my vinyl's again he say oh no there he goes again by by cds and helllo vinyl. :D

I hope you won't be disappointed with it.

I know after a while I didn't like vinyl compared to CD. Couldn't play them. :blush:

[Dovey]

I know this is an old thread but.... yesterday I saw someone had a Elvis Moody Blue 78 LP on Ebay and he wanted $100 for it. I had to laugh and I went and got some of mine out and sure enough I have Moody Blue. It is in it's original sleeve and the blue record (just as the one on Ebay) I thought there is no way I would pay $100 for it.

But I did play it on my old record player... Wow!!!! Vinyl is still the greatest sound in the world. :supriced: I have not heard Unchained Melody sang like that for years... Truely Awesome... Way Down... Awesome all the songs had great quality sound to them.

After listening to Cd's and DVD's for so long I was amazed at the great sound the old Vinyl's have. (y) (y) the guy on Ebay does not have a bidder yet and I see has some pretty negative feedback.

Just wanted had to share that... No comparison on the sound!!
i think I will play Vinyl more often. Dovey;)

Believe it or not, I once saw the blue vinyl version in the paper in Memphis during Elvis week for sale for $800.00. It looks cool but what people don't realize is that it is not the one that is valuable, the black vinyl is. I think there might have even been pressings of a mottled color and white too . Anyway, I guess it boils down to being worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Anyway, I love vinyl. I guess, for me, it's a tangible part of my past because when I get to feeling a bit melancholy, I bring them out and play them. Love the large covers and inserts that always came with them. Even if they are a bit scratched, no other medium compares to that warm LP sound. Maybe it's just because I was brought up with them though.

Wow $800.... crazzzy huh? I have seen the black vinyl too but did not know that it was more valuable. Thanks for letting me know that. I have seen many people in here (and other sites) talking about the vinyl sounding better and just didn't believe it. They were right on the money!!!! If I wouldn't of seen that on Ebay I probably would not have gotten it out and listened to it. :blush:

Truthfully MenWithBrokenHearts, I would not pay the $100 for it... makes you wonder who would .....but like you say it boils down to how bad you want it.. :) Thanks Dovey

[KPM]

I would never get rid of my vinyl it is Elvis history and it has taken me to long to collect. I enjoy now and then listening to him on my record player and remembering the first times I heard each song.
Its true the black Moody Blue is the more valuble than the blue and there is suppose to be a" mottled vinyl "out there somewhere.

Thanks KPM, You are right the old vinyl's are great and I am so happy that I decided to listen to them again. Really big difference in the sound.

I also have some old 8 tracks.... not sure if they still play or not but guess I will have to try them out too. (I never throw anything away!!!:D ) Dovey ;)

Great to know this Curtis my man, here is one for you, do you have the vinyl copy of 'Elvis via sat' in there somewhere you can hear E saying to it must be Charlie 'That one there man' it was when E was going through his 'some guys out to kill me' thing, check it out i could not work it out at first, but after a few listens there it was...

[Diane]

I have a very large collection of Elvis Lp's and I wouldn't give them up for anything not even $800 for my blue vinyl Moody Blue. I believe that's right that the black one is the most valuable and that there are a couple of other coloured ones and the mottled one.

I also like the sound quality of the vinyl better than the CD's and love putting on my Lp's. I'm trying to put together a good system with a high quality turntable but they seem to be hard to find these days. Anyone have any idea where they still carry them?

[songs4u]

curtis and I have talked before about vinyls. I know he's a great lover of the vinyls. He's given me some help on the ones I have. I've never before checked into the costs and the rarity of these things. Dovey, was talking about listening to the Blue Album. I, too, have a few of them. I haven't pulled out a vinyl in years. I, rarely, listen to Elvis' music. I have to be in the right mind set.

Ya'll have me wanting to pull out some of my records, now.
