In the beginning of 1973 Elvis Presley released the extremely successful live album Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite, after which he spent the first half of that year on tour. The second half of 1973 would have to be spent in the studio recording new material and he decided to find a space closer to home to do so: the legendary Stax, in Memphis. And while typically only Stax artists were making use of the studio, they were happy to accommodate the King.

Over two recordings sessions at Stax in July and December, Elvis ended up recording many hits such as "It’s Midnight" and "Promised Land", which was originally written by Chuck Berry.

This compilation collects the best of these sessions on two LPs, remastered from the original master tapes and includes newly mixed outtakes.

*Elvis At Stax:*

Zu Beginn des Jahres 1973 veröffentlichte Elvis Presley das extrem erfolgreiche Live-Album "Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite", woraufhin er die erste Hälfte des Jahres auf Tournee verbrachte. Die zweite Hälfte des Jahres 1973 sollte im Studio verbracht werden, um neues Material aufzunehmen, und er entschied sich, einen Raum näher an seinem Zuhause zu finden: das legendäre Stax-Studio in Memphis. Obwohl normalerweise nur Stax-Künstler das Studio nutzten, waren sie glücklich, den King unterzubringen.

Über zwei Aufnahmesessions bei Stax im Juli und Dezember nahm Elvis viele Hits wie "It's Midnight" und "Promised Land" auf, das ursprünglich von Chuck Berry geschrieben wurde. Diese Kompilation sammelt die besten Aufnahmen dieser Sessions auf zwei LPs, remastered von den originalen Master-Tapes und enthält neu gemixte Outtakes.

"Elvis At Stax" ist als limitierte Edition von 2500 einzeln nummerierten Exemplaren auf silbernem Vinyl erhältlich.
