At first sight this may seem like yet another SUN anthology, but nothing could be further from the truth. Actually, this groundbreaking release focuses on the influence of SUN records on Elvis’ career after he left the label. This 2CD-set contains almost 80 tracks (!), and though there are a few Sun recording present to place the other recordings into their proper perspective (including a few real rarities like the SUN rehearsal of ‘How Do You Think I Feel’), the majority of tracks are from the early 60s to ’77. There’s cool bits of dialogue, home recordings, rehearsals, studio outtakes, live recordings… Highlights include a neat home recording of ‘That’s All Right’, Elvis on stage talking about his 2nd record ‘Tiger Man’, a tremendous version of ‘When It Rains, It Really Pours’, Elvis receiving a Sun album from a fan, a noisy but oh so cool ‘Mystery Train’ mastered from a near-mint 78 (and not one of those lifeless ‘remastered’ versions), and much, MUCH more, all providing a fascinating new perspective on Elvis’ career. A lot of research was done for this remarkable release, and we believe that this is an important album and a logical companion to “A Boy From Tupelo” on FTD. ‘SunSational’ is attractively packaged in a deluxe 2-panel digipack with a neat booklet, which contains a great essay as well as many rare photos. The Sun Elvis will never die, and this gem of an album underscores that point… Hop on the Mystery Train and order your copy today!

__________________

Febuary 28, oder March 1 (andere Quellen sagen March 5), was ist uns denn aus dieser Session von "H.D.Y. Think I Feel" erhalten geblieben?

Da sind doch Tapes gelöscht worden. Z.B. gibt es doch die über 4 min. lange Aufnahme von Scotty Mores Gitarrenspiel, wo man im Hintergrund ein Echo von Elvis Gesang hören kann - die eigentliche Gesangsspur existiert, weil gelöscht (leider) nicht mehr.

Auf http://www.elvisrecordings.com/s550305.htm
wird nur gerade diese Version angegeben.
Dort steht etwas von,
Zitat:
"Tape features Scotty Moore's guitar. (Elvis off-mike)"

Off-Mike ist doch Quatsch, warum singt Elvis denn, wenn sein Mike ausgeschaltet ist?
__________________

Vermutlich wird es sich auf der "SunSational" um diese Gitarren-Version von "How Do You Think I Feel" handeln.

off-mike könnte auch heißen, dass sich elvis einfach nicht in mikrofon-nähe befindet.

kann auch sein, dass in dem fall NUR scotty´s gitarre aufgenommen und elvis´ mikro deswegen erst gar nicht eingeschaltet wurde.
das hindert ihn allerdings nicht daran, seinen part zu singen

Bezogen auf diese spezielle Tonbandspur (Gitarre) könnte man das so deuten.

Aber man wird ja wohl sein Gesang auf einer anderen Spur aufgezeichnet haben, so gesehen war Elvis nicht "off-mike".

wenn es hier primär um scotty´s mikro geht, war elvis eben sehr wohl OFF MIKE

Nee, man hört ja auch das Schlagzeug, da waren schon alle Mikros "On".
