Elvis Presleys legendariske indspilninger i RCA’s Studio B i Nashville fra 1970, som udkom på tre af Elvis’ albums i 1970 og 1971, bliver nu samlet på en ny cd-boks med titlen ”From Elvis In Nashville”.
Indspilningerne, hvor Elvis fortolkede sange som ”I’ve Lost You”, ”Funny How Time Slips Away” og ”There Goes My Everything”, blev oprindelig udsendt på pladerne ”That’s The Way It Is”, 1970, ”Elvis Country (I’m 10.000 Years Old)”, 1971, og ”Love Letters From Elvis”, 1971. Mange af disse sange indgik i hans live-repertoire i resten af hans karriere, indtil Elvis døde i 1977.
Henover fem dage i juni og én dag i september 1970, samledes ”The Nashville Cats”, studiemusikere, der bestod af multiinstrumentalisten Charlie McCoy, bassisten Norbert Putnam, pianisten David Briggs og guitaristerne James Burton og Eddie Hinton i Studie B, hvor de og Elvis indspillede mere end 40 sange i genrer fra bluegrass og country til rockabilly og moderne pop.
Nu samles alle sangene, plus adskillige alternative optagelser – 74 numre i alt – på bokssættet ”From Elvis In Nashville”, som udsendes af RCA/Legacy Recordings den 20. november. En skrabet udgave med højdepunkter, bestående af to vinylplader, udgives samtidig.
