Elvis Presley The Complete Sun Sessions Full Album Zip |BEST|

This RSD Black Friday release brings together four studio demo sessions from The Heartbreakers (Johnny Thunders, Walter Lure, Billy Rath & Jerry Nolan) from 1976 and 1977, compiled onto one album for the first time.

Havoc and Bright Lights marked a rebirth for Alanis Morissette, the first album she recorded as a newlywed mother. Delivered a full eight years later, Such Pretty Forks in the Road is the second act of the story, an album about learning how to find contentment at middle age. Morissette wrestles anxieties, origin stories, addictions, parenthood, and partnership throughout the record, searching for reasons and a diagnosis, achieving a sense of peace with having her sense of calm being disturbed on occasion. Appropriately for an album that's decidedly focused on an inward journey, Such Pretty Forks in the Road simmers, never boils. Hooks force themselves into the center stage on "Reasons I Drink" -- the rare tune here that could be called catchy -- but otherwise melody takes a back seat to mood. This doesn't necessarily mean Morissette's words are pushed into the spotlight. Such Pretty Forks in the Road is lacquered in immaculate gloss, a sound that accentuates the interior journey of the songs without quite inviting exploration. A close listen reveals all the troubles rolling around Morissette's mind, but the nice thing about Such Pretty Forks in the Road is how its smooth, placid surface makes the record feel like an album-length guided serenity meditation.Side A1.

But The Memphis Record -- a collection of the Moman sessions released as a double album only in '87 -- puts the microscope on his genius. In these few days Elvis recorded songs that are as convincing to critics as they are appealing to those in karaoke bars. This was an Elvis which, once again, crossed all social boundaries.

There were also 35mm negatives that were originals of an Elvis Presley jam session which featured the guitarist Scotty Moore, who passed away last year. These were estimated to be worth $2,000, but sold for $6,250. (see two pics below). Trude Forsher also held an archive of photos that sold for $6,250, with the pre-auction estimate listed at $1,500. There are numerous other items at the Auction at Graceland that held interest for bidders, especially personal belongings of Elvis which had been used often. These included things like a platinum album award for Aloha from Hawaii, which sold for $9,375, a blue suede jacket that Elvis Presley wore which fetched $4,750, a diamond cluster cocktail ring that was auctioned at $13,750, a card which showed that Presley was certified as a sixth-degree black belt in karate received $2,375, and a Union 76 credit card from the 1970s which sold at $3,375.

This is certainly it - the 'Great Lost Bolan Album'. It, however, hasa particularly twisted and hard-to-follow history which I'm still not quiteaware of. Let me just make a half-baked historical excourse, then. It allbegins with Mark Feld, a teenage ambitious gentleman, who wanted very muchto be the next Dylan but who also loved Tolkien and the elves a lot; asa result, he changed his name to Marc Bolan (rumours have it that Bolanis actually just a contraction of Bob Dylan) and startedpoking around early swingin' London, somewhere around 1966 and 1967. Thisalbum is constituted of various scraps and snippets of all kinds of projectshe'd been busy in during these two years: a couple of singles he put outall by himself, a couple of demos from his work with the psychedelic bandJohn's Children, some demos he'd recorded all by himself with an acoustic,and some outtakes from the My People Were Fair sessions - Marc workingwith Steve Took, about whom see below for more details.

This is a relatively new archive release, and conceptually it's structureddifferently from the 'alternative' series of Bolan's 1972-76 albums (pleasesee below for a more detailed explanation of the Bolan re-issues): ratherthan simply presenting a set of demos and raw alternate takes, ElectricWarrior Sessions work as something of an audio documentary, in fact,a video accompaniment of this stuff would be very much desirable. Of course,it's mostly music; but it's mixed with studio chat, false starts and falseendings, tape rewinds, and all kinds of 'outside happenings' going on.Also noteworthy is the fact that the album comes in two editions; as faras I understand, there is a 2-CD set that includes a couple more alternatetakes plus a lengthy interview with Bolan at the time of the actual recording.But the 1-CD edition is probably preferrable unless you're a complete diehard.

The first true "new look" T. Rex record that propelled Bolaninto mega-stardom, and a record that's universally acclaimed as one ofthe sacred pinnacles of glam rock, together with stuff like Ziggy Stardust(with Bowie borrowing quite a lot from Bolan) and all those New York Dollsrecords. However, in the general context of Bolan's work, not in the contextof the glam-rock movement, Electric Warrior can hardly stand outas the man's finest hour. Melodically, it certainly isn't as strong assome of Marc's earlier 'hippie crap' albums, most notably Unicorn;and one of the major accusations one could hang on it is that it completelylacks diversity, something which would be corrected two years later withthe superior Tanx. Indeed, all the songs on here fall into two rathersterile patterns - funky, eminently danceable rockers and musically primitiveatmospheric ballads, with the rare exceptions like 'Lean Woman Blues' actuallybeing the weakest cuts on the whole record. For all means, it would bewiser to consider Electric Warrior Bolan's solid, but unspectacular'first try' at making a true rock record.

This and the following album are generally regarded as Bolan's weakestefforts by fans and critics alike, and I certainly can't blame them. ButZinc Alloy is at least notably better than Zip Gun, if onlybecause the melodies are a wee bit more elaborate and the lyrics are mostlytypical Bolan - in the fine traditions of the early fresh glam stuff. So,while hardly any of the stuff on the album can be quoted as essential,there's no reason to bypass the record completely as it's at least notablydifferent from Bolan's past achievements.

Slowly, we recover the faith in our hero. Bolan's back! Not quiteback - the definite return to form would only occur a year later - butat least Futuristic Dragon is fully listenable, unlike the previousrecord. On a general level, this record is not a leap forward or somethinglike that: we all know that since Marc pioneered the glam formula in theearly Seventies, he'd done very few things to broaden the horizons. Butat least, Dragon is a competent, self-assured record that returnsus to the level of enjoyability found on any 'routine' Bolan album - yeah,like Slider. Which probably means that Marc had finally overcomethe crisis and understood that, however dumb-ified his image would turnout to be, he would never again manage to completely recapture his audiences.Early Seventies' teens had grown up and were probably ashamed of havingfallen prey to TRexstasy in the first place (the fools!), while mid-Seventiesteens were far more interested in disco that was just beginning to gaincomplete force.

He unsuccessfully auditioned for CBS' Talent Scouts (1948) nine months before his successful debut on Stage Show (1954). The trip to New York City for the audition was not a complete loss for Elvis. That same day he went uptown to see Bo Diddley, who was appearing at The Apollo.
