Elvis Presley - Stereo '57 (Essential Elvis Volume 2) - Analogue Productions LP

Nearly lost to history, Elvis 2-track masters saved by chance Now presented as a double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 200-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Mastered at Sterling Sound Deluxe gatefold jacket The discovery of these 2-track masters comprising Stereo ‘57 - The Essential Elvis Volume 2, is nothing short of a miracle, and this 180-gram pressing cut at 45 RPM from Quality Record Pressings sounds so astonishing, your jaw will hit the floor! From the moment Elvis began working with a new song, sound engineer Thorne Norgar had the 15 ips mono tape machine rolling simultaneously with a 2-track protection copy. The machines weren't switched to pause until Elvis was satisfied with the take. A couple of years before the advent of the stereo LP in mid-1958, major record companies were experimenting with stereophonic recordings, often refered to then as binaural. Studios were using the new Ampex 2-track tape recorders for other purposes, such as for recording session back-ups.
