| Studio Sessions for RCA March 10-12, 1975: RCA's Studio C, Hollywood |
| Maybe the decision to book the new recording sessions in Hollywood was a small concession to RCA. It was business as usual for Elvis and his group to do their Vegas rehearsing in Los Angeles, but just as significantly they would be recording just a few floors below Joan Deary's office in the RCA building on Sunset Boulevard. Deary might not have been invited to the sessions, but at least they would be done at RCA's studio, recorded to RCA's technical standards, and provide an opportunity for the label to have a listen to the tapes while the sessions were still under way. This session marked the first time Elvis' own music firms brought in no new material. Felton had been successful in recent years in bringing Elvis songs from the creative environs of Nashville, but now the primary inspiration seemed to come from other artist. Going back to songs from Elvis' teenage years was common pratice, of course, so the next number, Faye Adams's 1953 "Shake A Hand," was hardly surprising. Elvis' voice and his unique ability to rethink something old had often made for refreshing cuts in the past, but by 1975 he seemed satisified just to walk through the tune, offering little more than a strained vocal to complement the predictable arrangement. ~~The Complete Recording Sessions~~ by Ernst Jorgensen *The version you're hearing is a remix which I love.
