"MEMPHIS RECORDING SERVICE: THE COMPLETE WORKS 1953 - 1955" (2-CD + 100-page Book)
Release Date; November, 2016

MRS will release a 2CD/100page book compilation titled "MEMPHIS RECORDING SERVICE: THE COMPLETE WORKS 1953 - 1955" on the 25th November 2016. The 100-page book chronicles Elvis' short recording career there, from its humble beginnings (his personal acetate recordings from July 1953 and January 1954) through to the final Sun sessions in 1955. The full and comprehensive text is complemented by rare photographs and unseen pieces of documentation.

The 2CD's contain the complete archival studio recordings from 1953- 1955: Elvis' personal acetates, the Sun masters, along with rare session outtakes. The tracks have been painstakingly remastered and restored. There are many highlights on this new release. All of the newly remastered tracks now sound much clearer and crisper. For instance, "That's All Right" has been taken from the 'Mother' master of the original Sun 45rpm. Also, for the first time on CD, "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" appears without the false bass RCA added to it in the 1980s when tampering with the master tapes.

The remastering of Elvis' first acetate recordings - "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin" (from July 1953) - has also well exceeded the sound quality ever achieved before on these primitive recordings. Furthermore, on the outtakes of "Blue Moon", the painstaking audio restoration has removed the overload and studio hum present on previous issues, and made them sound much better than ever before. Indeed, all previous erroneous mastering faults and miscalculations have been rectified on this release, making it the best collection of these seminal recordings thus far.

"The Wonder Of You: Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra" (1-CD, 2-LP)
Release Date; Oct.21, 2016 (CD) Dec.2, 2016 (LP)

NEW ELVIS PRESLEY ALBUM "THE WONDER OF YOU: ELVIS PRESLEY WITH THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA" TO BE RELEASED OCTOBER 21 ON SONY MUSIC'S LEGACY RECORDINGS

New album features powerful Elvis vocal performances with brand-new orchestral accompaniment. Follow up to the global phenomenon IF I CAN DREAM released in 2015

SEPTEMBER 8, 2016 - Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, is proud to announce the release of "The Wonder Of You: Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra", on October 21, 2016. This remarkable new album is the follow up to last year's huge global phenomenon "If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra", which topped charts worldwide and sold over 1.5 million copies.

"The Wonder Of You" focuses on the iconic artist's unmistakable voice with lush new orchestral accompaniment. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London with acclaimed producers Don Reedman and Nick Patrick, the album features Elvis' most dramatic original performances augmented with lush new arrangements by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The album spans a variety of musical styles that Elvis embraced, from rock and gospel to country and ballads, featuring beloved Presley classics along with several surprises. Standout tracks include a sultry new version of "A Big Hunk O' Love," the glorious "Amazing Grace," the heartfelt emotion on "Kentucky Rain," a stunning new take on the classic "Always On My Mind," and the fun, upbeat "I've Got A Thing About You Baby."

"The Wonder Of You: Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra" will be released on CD, 150g gatefold 2-LP, and digital formats. A Deluxe version of the album will be released on December 2nd and will include a CD with two additional tracks, two 150 gram LPs in a gatefold package, a poster suitable for framing and a 12 page booklet, all housed in a beautiful 12”x12” lift off box.

"Elvis always loved the great, operatic vocalists," says Priscilla Presley, executive producer of "The Wonder of You." "We often talked about his interest in recording material that allowed him to perform in that space. It's exciting to hear him on these recordings, performing with the world-class Royal Philharmonic Orchestra via the magic of Abbey Road Studios. He would have loved these performances and I'm very happy that we were able to make this dream come true for Elvis and his fans."

"As with the first time we stepped into this amazing world - it is the extraordinary intimacy of Elvis's vocal performances that is truly breathtaking," says Nick Patrick. "The exquisite and effortless way he takes us on an emotional journey with him through delicate sensitivity to power and grace all within a magical 3-minute song. It's a wonderful, wonderful privilege for which we are truly grateful."

"I believe we have made an album that is uplifting, sensitive, heart touching and fun - the way that Elvis was and still is to so many of us," says Don Reedman. "His spirit has never left the building!"

This autumn will also see the world exclusive live concert experience featuring the most recognizable voice of all time, Elvis Presley, backed by the legendary Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, for a six date UK arena run in November. Fans will have the chance to experience the man who changed the course of popular music - the biggest selling solo artist in history (having sold an astonishing one billion records worldwide), on screen, with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra live on stage performing renditions of songs from "If I Can Dream" and "The Wonder Of You."

Presented over 350 pages with lavishly illustrated high quality images, many unseen photographs and graphics. Every song has been thoroughly researched like the author's previous trilogy Elvis: "The Best of British".

ウェイ・ダウン・イン・ザ・ジャングル・ルーム
(Way Down In The Jungle Room) / エルヴィス・プレスリー

2016年8月10日発売予定（※輸入盤は8月5日） SICP-4950〜1（CD2枚組）
価格：￥3,600+税 デジパック仕様 (16Pカラーブックレット、日本語解説、歌詞、対訳付き)

エルヴィス・プレスリー生前最後のスタジオ・セッションの全貌が明らかに！

　ソニー・ミュージックから グレイスランドの伝説の部屋 「ジャングル・ルーム」 で行われた エルヴィスの 最後のセッションの模様を 収めた2枚組CD 『ウェイ・ダウン・イン・ザ・ジャングル・ルーム (Way Down In The Jungle Room)』 が 8月10日（輸入盤は8月5日） にリリースされる。

　エルヴィスにとって最後となったスタジオ録音を ひとつにまとめた アンソロジーとしては、 これまでの中で 最も完全で 包括的な作品集となり、 エルヴィス・ファンにとっては 待望のリリース。 エルヴィスが エクゼクティヴ・プロデューサーを務め、 プロデューサーに フェルトン・ジャーヴィスを迎え、 エルヴィスの自宅 グレイスランドの私室を プロ仕様の レコーディング・スタジオに 改装した、 通称「ジャングル・ルーム」で行われた 伝説の2回のセッション (1976年2月28日、 1976年10月28〜30日) で録音された マスター音源と 貴重なアウトテイクを 編集したもので、 エルヴィスの忘れがたい 最後のスタジオ・パフォーマンスを 捉えており、 初めてひとつの コレクションとして まとめられたのが本作。 アウト・テイクは グラミー賞を受賞した エンジニアの マット・ロス・スパングが、 テネシー州メンフィスの サム・フィリップス・レコーディングズで おこなっている。 このセッションには、 ジェームズ・バートン(ギター)、 ロニー・タット(ドラムス)、 デヴィッド・ブリッグス(キーボード)、 グレン・D・ハーディン(キーボード)、 ジェリー・シェフ(ベース)、 ノーバート・パトナム(ベース)、 J・D・サムナー＆ザ・スタンプス(コーラス) といった 彼の長年の ツアー・バンドのメンバーが 参加している。

　40代を迎え、アーティストとして進化しつつあった エルヴィス・プレスリーは、 転換点となった 1950年代の録音の ノスタルジアに浸るよりも、 音楽的に自身を表現する 新しい方法を模索していた。 カントリーや アダルト・コンテンポラリー系の ラジオ局では チャート・インをしていたが、 新しい時代のための 新しいサウンドを作る 必要のあった エルヴィス・プレスリーは、 ハワイをテーマとした 「ジャングル・ルーム」を 非公式のホーム・スタジオに 作り変え、 それまで彼が作業していた プロフェッショナルな スタジオの予算や スケジュールの プレッシャーから離れて 好きなように 楽曲を録音できるようにした。 RCAの移動式録音用トラックと、 長年にわたって プロデューサーを務めてきた フェルトン・ジャーヴィス、 そしてエンジニアの マイク・モーランを コンソールに臨ませた エルヴィスは、 カントリーやポップスの 様々なカヴァー (「雨の別離」、 「最後の恋」、 「ダニー・ボーイ」、 「ソリティアー」)や、 「ムーディ・ブルー」、 「ウェイ・ダウン」といった 彼のカタログ後期の名曲に 幅広く取り組んだ。

　「ジャングル・ルーム」でのマスター・テイクのうち、 トップ10ヒットとなった 「心の痛手」を含む10曲は、 1976年春、 アルバム 『メンフィスより愛をこめて』として リリースされた。 これらのセッションの 他の楽曲は 後にライヴ音源とともに アルバム『ムーディ・ブルー』に 収録され、 1977 年7月 (8月16日のエルヴィスの死の1ヶ月前) にリリースされている。 タイトル曲 「ムーディ・ブルー」は 同月カントリー・チャートのトップとなり、 「ウェイ・ダウン」が これに続いた。 これらは エルヴィスの生前にリリースされた 最後のスタジオ・アルバムとなった。

　『ウェイ・ダウン・イン・ザ・ジャングル・ルーム』は プロデューサー陣によると、 “音源に新鮮な観点を与えるため” 曲順が並び替えられた。 『Disc2：アウト・テイクス』 の音源は メンフィスの サム・フィリップス・ レコーディング・サービスにおいて 本作品集のために ミキシングされ、 アウト・テイクと スタジオ内でのやりとりの両方を 収録することにより、 「セッションの様子を まるで こっそり見たかのように体験」 できるようになっている。 Disc2に収録された演奏は トラック13 (「何でもないのに」) を除き、 録音された順に並んでいる。

　また、見開き型ジャケットに入れられた 150グラムの 12インチアナログ盤2枚組LP （輸入盤のみ） および デジタル・フォーマットでも 発売される予定。

エルヴィス・プレスリー、ＣＤ６０枚 豪華ＢＯＸ登場！

　2016年は 1956年、RCAから 『エルヴィス・プレスリー登場』 で メジャー・デビューを果たしてから 60年という 記念すべき年だ。 第1作 『エルヴィス・プレスリー登場！』 と セカンド・アルバム 『エルヴィス』 は 共に 全米チャートで 1位に上り詰め、 RIAA (全米レコード協会) 認定の プラチナ・アルバムを獲得。 そこから キング・オブ・ロックンロールの 歴史が始まり、 その人気は既に 死後39年となる今でも 衰えることを知らない。

　そのエルヴィスの 81回目の誕生日となる 1月8日に、 RCAに残した 57作のアルバムと レア音源集を収めた CD60枚豪華BOX 『アルバム・コレクション』 が 3月に リリースされるという 嬉しいニュースが 発表された。

　このコレクションには エルヴィスが生涯在籍していた RCAで録音し、 リリースしたアルバムが 収められており、 未発表曲や LPのフォーマットに 初収録の楽曲を収録した コンピレーション、 エルヴィスの伝説的な サン時代のセッション (1954年・1955年、 プレスリーの RCAとの契約前に メンフィスの サン・ス タジオにて録音)、 RCA移籍後初のセッション (1956年1月10日)、 スタジオ録音や サウンドトラック、 ライヴ盤といった エルヴィスの重要な 正規リリースの アルバムという内容は ファン必携のアイテム といっていいだろう。

　また、見開き式・型打ち抜き式ジャケット、 オリジナル盤にあった RCAの投げ込みやステッカー、 オリジナル盤の サイド１ラベルを復刻した CDラベルなど、 それぞれオリジナル盤の パッケージを 詳細に再現。 付属の300ページにも及ぶ ハードカバーの解説書には エルヴィス・プレスリー研究家のジョン・ジャクソン 執筆による洞察に満ちた記録、ディスコグラフィー、レコーディング・セッションの 詳細 （日時、場所、参加メンバー等） などが 掲載されており、 これだけでも ファンにとっては 喉から手が出るほどの 貴重な資料となるものである。

"How RCA Brought Elvis To Europe" (Book)
Release Date; February, 2016

This beautifully designed book contains unseen pictures and follows Elvis ascent from hottest act in The South via US stardom to becoming RCA Victor's spearhead as the company launched the RCA label worldwide in 1956. It goes on to show how Europe was completely won over by the early 1960's.

The earliest international Elvis records are listed, and there is a guide to identify Elvis records from all European countries, including a summary of the earliest releases from each country. There are complete illustrated discographies (including variants) for all Nordic countries: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. There is also a guide to first pressings of the 47 Elvis EP's released in Germany for sale in Northern Europe.

Elvis' reception in the Nordic countries is covered by a wealth of press cuttings, local film flyers and posters, ads, premiere dates, pictures and stories from handovers of Swedish and Norwegian record awards, and much previously unknown record company history. Among many revelations, the most surprising is perhaps how the Swedish company Electra engineered most of the Elvis activity taking place in Northern Europe.

Spliced in between are many amusing short stories, like when three Nordic Royal Princesses sought out Elvis on the set of G.I. Blues, or how the man behind RCA in Belgium started out smuggling records in the wings of his WW2 Royal Air Force Spitfire. Or the time Norway's bestselling crooner met Elvis in RCA Studios on the day Hound Dog was recorded.

The story behind German Teldec's earliest Elvis releases is completely rewritten along the way, and for record collectors there are many new discoveries - like why do records from some countries come with push-out centers while others have large center holes. Or how can it be that up to three different label variants may occur within the same print run. Or why were Europe's earliest 45-singles sold in Sweden only and why did Denmark and Norway, each with tiny populations, issue respectively 46 and 56 different Elvis records?

And did Elvis really pose a threat to communist Eastern Europe when he served as a US Soldier in West Germany? Boy, he sure did. All these topics and plenty more are covered in How RCA Brought Elvis to Europe. And not to be forgotten: free with the book's first edition comes an UNRELEASED 1956 VINYL EP.

The book is written by Norwegians Sigbj?rn Stabursvik and Hans Otto Engvold, supported by a network of experts from fourteen countries. Stabursvik knows things about records that most people don't, while Engvold is a hound for detail in all things Elvis. Together they bring new insights on practically every page of this excellent book.

"Elvis Live In The 50's - The Complete Concert Recordings" (3-CD + Book)
Release Date; Feb.19, 2016

Memphis Recording Service will have its first release in 4 years titled ELVIS LIVE IN THE 50's - THE COMPLETE CONCERT RECORDINGS on February 19th 2016. This box set is the ultimate tribute to Elvis Presley documenting his shows from the 1950's. The 3 CD's represent for the first time ever, the release of the complete collection of archival live concert recordings (including rare interviews and the recently discovered new material) by Elvis Presley in the 1950's.

All of the 82 tracks included have been painstakingly remastered and restored. Fans who enjoyed previous mastered works of the MRS team such as "Such a Night in Pearl Harbor", "The Complete Hayride Archives" and Boxcar's remastered works of the Orlando February 1977 concert, are in for a treat. Our restoration techniques have now been applied to the Tupelo shows as well as the Eagles Hall, Frontier and Robinson Auditorium shows. Combined with further works on the Hayride and others shows, the quality of these recordings is now far superior to ever before.

The 172 page book is a chronological photo journey following Elvis from the very first to the very last shows performed in the 1950's. It contains linear notes that includes every show listing (now updated) and is accompanied by hundreds of photographs many of which are rare and unpublished.
