  From Elvis In Memphis LP : 180 gram 12" Vinyl LP Album : Exclusively remastered 180 gram audiophile vinyl pressing.One month after Elvis' 1968 Comeback Special aired on national television, Elvis Presley made the most artistically successful recordings of his later career. In January and February of 1969, he held sessions at American Studios in Memphis. Elvis was reportedly worried that his recording career was finished, that he had been displaced by newcomers such as the Beatles. Perhaps goaded on by this perception, Elvis Presley reached new heights during the American sessions.
The material he chose was impassioned, gritty, and bluesy, the complete opposite of the movie songs he had sung for most of the previous decade. A slight case of laryngitis actually improved his performances, lending his voice an appropriate roughness. Many of the best recordings from these sessions appear on From Elvis In Memphis, including the hit 'In the Ghetto'. From Elvis In Memphis demonstrates how thoroughly Elvis Presley could remake a song to suit his talents, especially on the country standards 'Long Black Limousine' and 'I'll Hold You In My Heart', which he transforms into R&B screamers. This is intense, heartfelt, adult music, much like the blues Elvis Presley loved as a kid on Beale Street. Exclusively remastered 180 gram audiophile vinyl pressing. 180 gram vinyl is considered audiophile grade and most new releases and re-releases available today come out in this format. The record is thicker and heavier so it may be less prone to warping over time. Some claim sonic benefits on 180 gram's like better stereo imaging, less noise, wider bandwidth, etc. Another factor is 'virgin' vinyl (often a feature hand in hand with 180 ggam and heavier LPs) which uses no recycled plastic which can contain impurities leading to a noisier record.
