Why no Elvis remasters?
« on: March 22, 2022, 03:06:53 PM »
I've been listening to some Elvis songs and browsing his many albums.  What surprises me is that none of them have been remastered.  Am I wrong about this?  But if I'm right, why not?

I’m not sure the people who are into Elvis are into sonic qualities the way people were for bands from the 60s on. Elvis fans seem to focus more on Elvis himself; his charisma, his voice, his style, and less on his recordings. Maybe he was closer to the Sinatras and Crosbys in that way than he was to 60s artists.

Moogmodule:  True point you made.

But I really think Blue Hawaii could benefit greatly from a sonic overall.  I think that's one of his best "movie" albums, but sound quality is quite poor, IMO.

I like the songs:  Blue Hawaii; Can't help falling in love; Rock-a-Hula Baby; and the Hawaiian Wedding Song.

There you go. They’ve been done. Onya Elvis.

Although where are the Giles Martin remixes?  ;D
