Elvis remixes.

The two main ones I did, I did for a reason, since I HATE remixes (usually), as it involves playing God and tampering with musical history.

“(You’re The) Devil In Disguise”.

Elvis’ RCA Nashville recording engineer Bill Porter told me that although he mixed that song live to three-track and two-track (at the same time), RCA rejected his two-track mix for some reason and remixed it a year later in New York for the Elvis’ Golden Records album (was it Volume 3 or 4?) in 1964. Bill hated the RCA stereo mix. So, this is a song that I took pleasure in “restoring” to the Bill Porter version. Great song, and great music track. I must have listened to just the music on that song about 50 times. Amazing track. And then of course, I listened to just Elvis’ vocal track for a while. What breath control! Awesome!

“Return To Sender”

This is a song that was recorded and mixed at Radio Recorders for the “Girls, Girls, Girls” soundtrack. The two-track master sounded great, but I felt there was just too much damn compression on the song, one of my all-time favorites.

My remix is faithful to the original mix in every way (echo, tonality, etc.) EXCEPT I backed off on the compressor about 1/2.
