High-Quality Pure Analogue 180g Virgin Vinyl LP!
Along with A Date with Elvis, For LP Fans Only is one of the most important special productions of the young King of Rock 'n' Roll. Because Elvis had been conscripted into the US Army, no new recordings could take place, and so record producers delved deep into the sound archives and dug out a few singles from his Sun Records days, mixed them with a couple of early RCA songs and a number from the Love Me Tender soundtrack, and, presto! a new Elvis LP was born. The overwhelming success of this album is not solely confined to the stylistic homogeneity of this collection of fresh, youthful songs. Far more, it's because, for many fans, the record offered the only substitution for the highly coveted but rare original singles "That's All Right," "Mystery Train" and "My Baby Left Me."
Together with the album "A Date With Elvis" (RCA LPM-2011), "For LP Fans Only" is one of the most important niche products of the young King of Rock'n'Roll. Since no new recordings could be made due to Elvis' service obligations in the Army, the producers reached back into the tape box, unearthed some singles from the Sun Records times, mixed in a few early RCA songs and a number from the "Love Me Tender" soundtrack, and a new Elvis LP was ready.
The enormous success of the album with the fans is not only based on the stylistic homogeneity of the assembled youthful, taut songs: Rather, the record offered for many the only replacement for the highly coveted and elusive original singles "That's All Right", "Mystery Train" and "My Baby Left Me".
With good reason, the Bits and Bytes faction has now ignored the cover dedication and launched various new editions. This only underscores the widely held verdict that this album is one of Elvis' best and at the same time one of the most important in rock'n'roll – especially in this vinyl edition, of course.
