Elvis Blue Hawaii Recording Sessions Splatter Vinyl 33RPM Silver Screen Legacy
This exclusive vinyl edition was released to mark the 65th anniversary of the legendary Blue Hawaii recording sessions of 1961. The release features a carefully curated selection of special outtakes and alternate takes from the original sessions at Radio Recorders Studio B. The material offers a unique glimpse into Elvis Presley during a major highlight of his recording career in the early 1960s.
Special attention has been paid to both the musical content and the technical and visual finish. The recordings have been carefully mastered by Petrushka specifically for this release, with an optimal listening experience in mind. The material is not sourced from previously released CDs, but is compiled from carefully selected collector sources. During mastering, a conscious choice was made for a warm, natural sound with a good balance between clarity, detail, and depth.
The result is a high-quality listening experience that stands head and shoulders above respected earlier releases. The combination of carefully selected source material and professional mastering makes this release a special addition to any serious Elvis collection.
The edition is pressed on exclusive splatter vinyl in a strictly limited run of only 200 copies worldwide. This limited edition underscores the exclusive nature of the release and makes the album particularly interesting for collectors and enthusiasts of high-quality vinyl productions.
Great care has also been taken with the presentation. The deluxe edition features beautifully designed, full-colour printed inner sleeves with rare photos taken from original negatives. In addition, the publication contains extensive background information on the fascination with Hawaii within American culture of the late 1950s and early 1960s, the creation of the legendary recording sessions, and Elvis Presley's special relationship with the islands.
The design draws inspiration from the characteristic look of the classic RCA Living Stereo era. The combination of an authentic vintage look, high-quality printing, and a modern finish gives the release the character of a carefully preserved Presley album from the golden age of vinyl.
An exclusive edition in which musical history, rare material, high-quality sound, and a special presentation come together — specially developed for the discerning Elvis collector.
