stoutfellow51 6th Oct 2017		My copy has the flipback rear sleeve with "May 1961 Saltcoats" written on the back. As the album was only released that exact same month then presumably the first pressings all came in a flipback sleeve and subsequent releases came in the laminated sleeve. It has the large RCA silver spot label with E/T tax code. A really great album, done with conviction and with care.



memphismartin 6th Oct 2016		I think the "Red Dot Labels" that "Stoutfellow51" uploaded are actually 1968 pressings as they contain the J/T tax code.

memphismartin 24th Sep 2016		Uploaded correctly this time.. The 1969 "Small Orange Label" re-issue in mono. In the original pressing the writer of "Mansion Over the Hilltop" reads as "Stranphill" which is incorrect. (Check sladesounds side 2 image) It was fixed in later releases as "Stamphill"

stoutfellow51 5th Aug 2016		This entire album as well as two other hit songs- Surrender & Crying In The Chapel making 14 tracks in total - was recorded in one marathon overnight recording session at Nashville in October 1960. He was ably backed by The Jordanaires, Charlie Hodge & Millie Kirkham and the band included Scotty Moore,Floyd Cramer and DJ Fontana. A remarkable level of output which was quite common for Elvis at that time.

Magic Marmalade 28th Jan 2016		Thanks Louis. I'll be looking out for a stereo then. With some albums the difference between the stereo and mono is immense, even if you haven't heard the one you don't have, you can hear where the shortcomings are, and how they might be fixed in the other issue... but this sounds great as mono, in the sense that the recording is fantastic... well set up and put together. I do tend to get a little bit enthusiastic writing these reviews! Reading it back, I wonder if I might have overdone it a bit, so if anyone finds anything in the tone of this review a little too much, I'll happily edit it a bit... trying to be informative yet light, but realise that not everyone who happens upon the page may see it that way.



LouisSidney 28th Jan 2016		Nice review, Magic, although I can't see what Lynch or Twin Peaks got to do with this LP. About STEREO: actually it was the very first stereo record I bought and it's wonderful soundwise. Mono is never good enough for me. Also, you don't have to be a Christian to enjoy "His Hand...". It's a matter of feeling and voice quality, and, as you said, Elvis rules.



Magic Marmalade 25th Jan 2016		Review A very short album. ...28 mins. Obviously it's a devotional record of Christian music, which put off other English heathens such as myself initially.... But it's really worth listening to, as I don't think Elvis' voice sounds as good on anything of his I've heard and recorded so far. The arrangements are sparse, with just a light piano with deliberate plodding bass and snare, but the super tight vocal harmonies of the Jordanaires and the female backing singers in a gentler gospel style are incredible, and allow Elvis' voice to come to the fore, or join in with the harmonies, or frequently float off high above them... essentially allowing him vocally to come and go as he pleases. It reminded me of my Gene Vincent album (From what I could still make out of it!), with that ethereal, David Lynch-esque - Blue Velvet-y disembodied vocal float... and in fact, the music here wouldn't be out of place in an episode of Twin Peaks in places. But it is quite a toe-tapper too, with a light skiffle flavour moving these short tracks along (about a minute or two on average... with a couple of up to three minutes). As I say though, it's the clarity of Elvis' voice that is the real star here though, and I think this might be him at the absolute top of his game in this regard. The recording is what allows this to happen too, it really is a brilliant sounding record, and the vinyl is nice and thick too... actually difficult to see what extra benefit stereo might bring to it, because the mono is more than good enough. So if you don't care for Christian music usually, don't worry, you won't burn to a cinder you sinners!... ... but if you are a Christian, or quite like light Gospel music...well then you'll enjoy it all the more! 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
