Title: Clean, Sterile, and Awful
Product review: I remember listening to my Dad's Sun Sessions LP back in the 70s as a kid. I also listened to the CD version issued back in the 80s or 90s. When I bought this CD, I was expecting that same sound, but what I got was a "clean," sterile, completely dead-sounding version of the Sun Sessions. The echo and reverb, which were so integral to the magic of the original recordings, were gone.This version of the Sun Sessions is absolutely awful for that reason. In my opinion, who ever produced this version just doesn't get it. Rock and Roll is meant to be raw and raucous, maybe a little distorted and rough. That's what makes it so great, and that's what gives you goose bumps when you put on the old LP and hear Elvis, Scotty, and Bill tearing it up in a tiny little storefront studio in 1950s downtown Memphis.If you're a fan looking for that original Elvis Presley Sun Sessions sound, DO NOT BUY THIS CD.
